Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, numerous carbon dioxide emissions and serious energy crises caused by fossil fuel consumption have led people around the world to focus on exploring rechargeable energy storage systems, such as lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, lithium ion capacitors, lithium sulfur batteries, sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries. As the core component of these new energy vehicles, the rational fabrication of novel carbon or carbon-based materials plays a key role in storing and releasing energy. However, in-depth research on the preparation process, growth mechanism, electrochemical performance and energy storage mechanism for new carbon or carbon-based materials still faces huge technical challenges in various energy storage devices. Therefore, the rational construction of novel carbon materials and explorations of its electrochemical properties can provide strong support for future research in the field of power battery fileds.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The preparation of new carbon or carbon-based materials including porous carbon, active carbon, graphene, modified graphite, carbon nano-tubes, graphdiyne, carbon fibers and carbon based metallic-oxide;
- Growth mechanisms for new carbon materials;
- Mainstream preparation technologies of new carbon materials;
- Electrode preparation technologies;
- Battery materials used to manufacture new electrochemical devices, such as Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, Na-ion batteries, supercapacitors, solid-state batteries;
- Microstructural characterization of carbon materials and electrodes.
- Electrochemical performance assessment, such as capacity, coulombic efficiency, rate performance and cycling stability;
- Electrochemical energy storage mechanisms.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
