Carbon and Carbon Composites for Electrochemical and Photochemical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

“Carbon and Carbon Composites for Electrochemical and Photochemical Applications” is a hot topic. The unique chemical and physical properties of carbon and its composites make them exceptional candidates as electrochemical and photochemical materials, as well as promising candidates as immobilization substrates.

Carbon and carbon-based materials have been extensively explored due to many intrinsic properties, such as high mechanical strength, superior thermal conductivity, huge specific surface area, and excellent charge transport. Furthermore, the porosity and electrical conductivity of these materials bring the opportunity to design improved materials for different applications, such as electrodes, catalysts, or catalyst supports (e.g., sensors, supercapacitors, electrocatalysts or photocatalysts).

This Special Issue will be devoted to new developments and fundamental advances on carbon materials with tuned textural and surface chemical properties, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, aerogels, xerogels, and carbon nanospheres, among others. Carbon-based doped materials and carbon–metal or metal oxide are also among the topics of interest. The main targeted applications are in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, energy production, and storage and so on.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
