Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
2D and other carbon nitrides are the subject of intense research, with diverse applications ranging from photonics, catalysts, and biosensors, to gas storage, separation, and energy technologies. The carbon nitride family of materials is broad and diverse, including polymeric to nanocrystalline polyheptazine chains and layers, nitrogen doped graphene, 3D architectures, and crystalline 2D materials. These N-rich materials show a wide range of structure-dependent properties and functionality that can be tuned through doping and structural control, useful for incorporation into devices for a wide range of applications based on readily available chemical precursors. Understanding the structure–properties–function of these complex systems involves significant experimental and computational challenges. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials is a celebration of the field, bringing together theoretical and experimental works at the frontier of carbon nitride research. We will cover the synthesis, processing, and assembly of carbon nitrides, along with building an understanding of their exceptional properties.

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.
