Recent Advances in Nanocarbon Materials
Description
For more than two decades, nanocarbon materials have provided scientific and technological excitement for scientists working in various disciplines. With their unique structures and novel properties, they have applications in many fields, such as electronics, energy devices, nanocomposites, and biomedical engineering. This special issue will highlight the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of nanocarbons and aims to provide an updated comprehensive overview of the current status in this fast-developing field. We invite authors from the physical and life sciences (chemists, physicists, material scientists, and biologists) to submit original research and review articles related to the synthesis, and characterization and applications of nanocarbons, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Carbon nanotubes, graphene-related materials, fullerenes, nanodiamonds, and other carbon nanostructures (e.g., nanofibers and nanowalls)
- Synthesis, purification, and separation of nanocarbons
- Characterization of the material and electronic properties of nanocarbons
- Applications and characterization of nanocarbon-based devices
Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jnm/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/jnm/ranm/ according to the following timetable:
