The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials and carbon nanomaterials. The journal reports significant new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons, which are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon. These materials can be either synthetic or of natural origin, and include, but are not limited to, graphene and graphene-oxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers and filaments, graphite, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, glassy carbon, carbon black, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, and chars. Papers on composites will be considered if the carbon component is a major focus of the paper's scientific content. Papers on organic substances may be considered if they are precursors for such carbon materials. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include, but are not limited to, electronic and photonic devices, structural and thermal applications, smart materials and systems, energy storage and conversion, catalysis, environmental protection, and biology and medicine.Carbon publishes comprehensive research articles, Letters to the Editor, and invited reviews by leading experts in the field. Papers will be selected that have high scientific merit, impart important new knowledge, and are of high interest to the international carbon materials community. The journal welcomes manuscripts on both bulk and nanoscale carbon materials and is particularly interested in manuscripts that help define and develop the basic science that applies to all carbons, including both established and emerging materials.

《碳》雜志是一個國際多學科論壇，旨在交流碳材料和碳納米材料領域的科學進展。期刊報道了與碳的形成、結構、性質、行為和技術應用相關的重要新發現，碳是一類主要由元素碳組成的有序或無序固相。這些材料可以是合成材料，也可以是天然材料，包括但不限于氧化石墨烯和氧化石墨烯、碳納米管、碳纖維和絲、石墨、多孔碳、熱解碳、玻璃碳、炭黑、金剛石和類金剛石碳、富勒烯和炭。如果碳成分是論文科學內容的一個主要焦點，則將考慮有關復合材料的論文。如果有機物質是此類碳材料的前體，則可考慮使用有關有機物質的論文。碳材料的相關應用領域包括但不限于電子和光子器件、結構和熱應用、智能材料和系統、儲能和轉換、催化、環境保護以及生物和醫學。碳出版綜合研究文章、致編輯的信函，并邀請該領域的主要專家進行評論。選擇具有較高科學價值、傳授重要新知識、對國際碳材料界具有高度興趣的論文。該雜志歡迎大量和納米級碳材料的手稿，特別對幫助定義和發展適用于所有碳的基礎科學的手稿感興趣，包括現有和新興材料。
