Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based composites have attracted the interest of scholars, due to their unique structural advantages, such as their high specific surface area and good conductivity and have been widely applied in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, drug delivery and environmental remediation, as well as energy conversion and storage. Many attempts have been made to synthesize various carbon-based composites by adjusting the composition, structure, pore size and surface state and by doping. Based on structural optimization, carbon-based composite electrodes exhibit improved electrochemical performance for supercapacitors and biosensors. That is, generally, the excellent electrochemical properties are intrinsically related to electrode materials. Thus, the structural design and engineering of carbon-based composite electrode materials are critical in achieving ideal supercapacitors and biosensors. In recent years, a large amount of articles on the fabrication of carbon-based composites and their applications in supercapacitors and electrochemical biosensors have been published. It is time to summarize the recent progress of this field.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of Micromachines entitled “Carbon-Based Composite Electrodes for Supercapacitors and Electrochemical Biosensors”, which is in line with the development direction of Micromachines and will contribute to the development and influence of the journal.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers that report on the current status of carbon-based composite electrodes for energy storage devices and electrochemical biosensors.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but is not limited to) the following:
- Carbon-based composites;
- Nanomaterials;
- Electrode materials;
- Supercapacitors;
- Electrochemical biosensors;
- Novel mechanisms in energy storage and biosensing;
- Review articles on the progress of supercapacitors and electrochemical biosensors.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
