Focus Issue on ECS Nano: Early Career Researchers

The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 241st ECS Meeting Carbon Nanostructures and Devices symposia.

The ECS Nanocarbon Division offers eight to 10 symposia covering different aspects of nanocarbon research in the Society’s spring meeting and a general nanocarbon symposium in the fall meeting. About 15-20 percent of the presented papers in the spring meeting are from symposia offered by the nanocarbon division. Researchers across the globe participate in these meetings.

This focus issue is intended to encourage the up-and-coming younger generation of scientists working on nanocarbons to participate in ECS Nanocarbon Division activities and publish their work in Society journals. This intended high-impact issue will provide up-to-date information on all areas of nanocarbon research.

This issue focuses on papers covering the following topics:   

  • Carbon Nanostructures for Energy Conversion and Storage
  • Carbon Nanostructures in Medicine and Biology
  • Carbon Nanotubes – From Fundamentals to Devices
  • Fullerenes – Endohedral Fullerenes and Molecular Carbon
  • 2D Layered Materials from Fundamental Science to Applications
  • Light Energy Conversion with Metal Halide Perovskites, Semiconductor and Organic Nanostructures, and Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Materials; and Dynamic Excitons
  • Porphyrins, Phthalocyanines, and Supramolecular Assemblies
  • Nano for Industry

This issue will have both invited and contributed review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles.

Accepting Submissions: May 19, 2022 | Submission Deadline: August 17, 2022

(At the time of submission, indicate that the paper is intended for the ECS Nano: Early Career Researchers focus issue.)
