New Carbon Materials is a bimonthly journal on carbon science supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and sponsored by the Institute of Coal Chemistry in Taiyuan, founded in 1985 and published with Elsevier, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 7.2《新型炭材料》是由（Chinese Academy of Sciences）主管、由位于太原的（Institute of Coal Chemistry）主办的双月刊炭材料科学期刊，创刊于 1985 年，与（Elsevier）合作出版，2025 年影响因子为 7.2。

Scope

• The journal publishes original research papers devoted to the physics, chemistry and technology of the organic substances that are precursors for producing aromatically or tetrahedrally bonded carbonaceous solids该刊发表原创研究论文，内容涉及有机前驱体的物理、化学与技术，这些前驱体用于制备芳香键合或四面体键合的固态碳质材料。
• The materials covered range from diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes and mesophase substances to carbons, carbon fibres, carbynes, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes覆盖的材料自金刚石与石墨，经焦炭、半焦与中间相物质，直至炭、炭纤维、卡宾、富勒烯与碳纳米管。
• It presents the newest research findings on the formation, structure, properties, behaviour and technological applications of carbons该刊报道关于炭的形成、结构、性质、行为与技术应用的最新研究成果。
• Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials, for example carbon-carbon composites, from those carbons are also within scope关于由上述炭材二次制备新型炭与复合材料（例如炭-炭复合材料）的论文也属征稿范围。
• Papers on organic substances are considered only if the research has a close relation to the resulting carbon materials关于有机物质的论文仅在研究同最终炭材料密切相关时才予考虑。
• The Chinese edition carries research papers, research briefs, research letters and comprehensive reviews in its columns该刊中文版设有研究快报、研究论文、研究简报与综合评述等栏目。
• The English edition on ScienceDirect publishes a selection of the papers from the original Chinese journal, and citation information refers to the original papers在（ScienceDirect）上的英文版刊载原中文期刊中的部分论文，引文信息以原文为准。
