Carbon nanoarchitectonics: nanoscale structural control for advanced applications in energy, environment and bio

Nanotechnology has created various new possibilities for materials science, with nanoarchitectonics helping bridge the gap between nanoscale structures and functional materials. Carbon nanoarchitectonics grants access to a wide range of functional materials based on carbon allotropes, with increasingly widespread use in energy, environment and bio-related applications.

This themed collection broadly focuses on carbon nanoarchitectonics, including (but not limited to):

• Biomass carbon for advanced functions
• Nanocarbons for battery applications
• Nanocarbons for supercapacitors and energy storage
• Nanocarbons for energy production (e.g., fuel cells, solar cells)
• Nanocarbons for sensing
• Nanocarbons for environmental remediation
• Nanocarbons for biomedicine
• New synthesis strategies for nanoarchitectured functional carbons
• New characterization strategies for nanoarchitectured functional carbons
• Theoretical and physical research of nanoarchitectured carbons

Manuscripts should be submitted via the online submission service and the Editorial Office informed by email. Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for the themed collection. The Editorial Office and Guest Editors reserve the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection and inclusion of accepted articles in the collection is not guaranteed. All manuscripts will be subject to the journal's usual peer review process. Accepted manuscripts will be added to the online collection as soon as they are online, and they will be published in a regular issue of Nanoscale Advances.
