The journal Carbon Research is an international multidisciplinary platform for communicating advances in fundamental and applied research on natural and engineered carbonaceous materials that are associated with ecological and environmental functions, energy generation, and global change. It is dedicated to serving as an innovative, efficient and professional platform for researchers in the field of carbon around the world to deliver findings from this rapidly expanding field of science. Carbon Research publishes articles related with an emphasis on, but not limited to the following: （1） Engineered carbonaceous materials (e.g., biochar, bioplastics, nanomaterials, catalysts, etc.) and their applications to environmental remediation and restoration; （2） Natural carbonaceous materials (e.g., humic substances, natural organic matter, cellulose, black carbon, etc.) and their biogeochemical cycling and ecological functions; （3） Carbon and renewable energy generation; （4） Carbon cycle, non-CO2 greenhouse gases and global change; （5） Carbon neutrality and carbon-negative technologies; （6）Other related novel sciences and technologies with global perspectives. .
