Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based nanomaterials start from the discovery of the zero-dimensional Buckyball in 1985; the Nobel Prize winning allotrope of carbon opened up an era of nano-technology, which has attracted significant attention due to the unique electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of the material. With the progress of fabrication technology, the 1D carbon nanotubes and 2D graphene were then synthesized in 1991 and 1998, which led to a significant growth in the number of publications and patents on carbon-based nanomaterials in the last decade.
These carbon-based nanomaterials can have a remarkable range of morphologies, which has provided the opportunity to use these nanomaterials in the construction of a new type of microelectronic device. For example, the CNT-based 1D transistor has been fabricated at the lab scale. This transistor has inspired the modern semiconductor fabrication technology in the structure of “Gate All Around” (GAA) at the channel size of 1 nm regime. Moreover, using the property of the high electric conductivity of graphene, a new class of the conductive ink was then produced by conjoining graphene with polymer and then direct ink jet printing the prototype electric circuit on paper. These kind of new ideas provide great opportunities for research to functionalize, dope, and create heterostructures on more kinds of carbon-based nanomaterials by developing innovations of carbon nanoribbon, nanocones, and nanohorns hybrid structures and resulting in dramatically new scientific and engineering front end research.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
