Carbon-based nanomaterials for energy applications
Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany
This thematic issue highlights novel developments and trends in the field of carbon-based nanomaterials for energy-related applications. Carbon nanomaterials (including its porous congeners and hybrid materials) have been recognized as one of the most promising elements in this field due to their diversity in structure, morphology and composition. Moreover, it comprises the base chemical element for a variety of composite and hybrid materials with unique properties.
Key topics of this special issue include synthesis and fabrication methods, progress on nanoscale structural and chemical characterization, insights from simulation approaches, as well as energy-related topics in which carbon-based materials have emerged to play a prominent role in future developments of the field. Last but not least, this thematic issue also covers strategies and ideas for future developments in the field of carbon-based nanomaterials.
