Synthesis & Devices of Graphene-Based 2D Nanomaterials for Energy Storage and Conversion

Dear Colleagues,

Let us introduce a new Special Issue of Nanomaterials, which revolves around highly anisometric platelets of graphene materials assembled into nanostructures (composites, ultrathin films). Assemblies in which two-dimensional carbonaceous sheets are internally strongly bonded but only weakly bonded to adjacent layers are, therefore, in our focus and we request the submission of manuscripts that shed more light on the synthesis, properties, and applications of these materials. The special aspect of this Special Issue lies in the fabrication of graphene material devices. This feature demonstrates the versatility of 2D nanostructures which are carbon based but may be doped with non-metallic elements for a range of innovative energetic applications such as supercapacitors or batteries. Materials including graphene and its derivatives, graphene (graphite) oxide, fluorographene (and graphite fluoride) and layer-structured nitrides (hexagonal boron nitride, graphitic carbon nitride, borocarbonitrides) may all bestow different functionality to the carbon and result in different functionality of the devices as well. We request short communications, regular research papers, and also reviews on this topic.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
