《碳通讯》的目标是成为一本全面涵盖碳材料和富碳分子的杂志。这些材料的范围从金刚石和石墨到焦碳、半焦碳、中间相物质、碳纤维、碳纳米管、石墨烯、炭黑、活性炭、热解碳、玻璃状碳等。利用上述各种碳材料二次生产新型碳及复合材料的论文属于该期刊的研究范围。只有当研究与生成的碳材料密切相关时，才会考虑有关有机物(包括煤)的论文。《碳通讯》还力求跟上其专业领域的新发展，并联合起来为当前的问题，如温室效应和臭氧层损耗，寻找替代能源的解决办法。可再生能源基础、能源储存与转化、太阳能、风能、水能、核能、生物质能源、制氢技术等清洁能源技术也在该期刊的范围内。《碳通讯》诚邀各界人士就碳科学与技术的理论与实践领域的基础研究发表原创报告。

Carbon Letters aims to be a comprehensive journal with complete coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules. These materials range from, but are not limited to, diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, carbon blacks, activated carbons, pyrolytic carbons, glass-like carbons, etc. Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials from the above mentioned various carbons are within the scope of the journal. Papers on organic substances, including coals, will be considered only if the research has close relation to the resulting carbon materials. Carbon Letters also seeks to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer. The renewable energy basics, energy storage and conversion, solar energy, wind energy, water energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy, hydrogen production technology, and other clean energy technologies are also within the scope of the journal. Carbon Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of carbon science and technology.
