Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nitrides ranging from N-doped carbons to materials with high N:C ratios give rise to 2D- to 3D-nanostructures with important functional properties. They are being promoted and developed for applications ranging from catalysis and catalyst supports to luminescence and photocatalysis, and as hosts for gas and molecular sequestration. Many N-rich materials are amorphous and difficult to characterise structurally or compositionally, so that establishing their functionality in relation to their structures and chemical nature can be challenging. Materials with enhanced properties can be created by chemically modifying the carbon nitride layers or frameworks. Active areas of research include the dissolution and re-deposition of layered to polymeric materials, and designing synthesis procedures to introduce porosity, with control over cavity length-scale, distribution and access. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will invite and consider papers on all aspects of the synthesis, structural investigation, functional properties, characterisation and assembly of carbon nitride nanostructures.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 2900 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
