Nanoporous Carbons for Hydrogen Sorption and Electrochemical Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoporous carbons have emerged as promising materials for a wide range of energy-oriented applications, particularly in the rapidly evolving and interconnected fields of hydrogen (H₂) and electrochemical energy storage. This Special Issue brings together cutting-edge research on the design, synthesis, characterization and application of nanoporous carbons, functionalized carbon surfaces and novel carbon-based nanocomposites as H₂ sorbents and as supercapacitor and battery electrodes. Research topics covered include the development of novel synthesis methods, the optimization of pore structures and surface chemistries for enhanced performance and the investigation of the fundamental mechanisms underlying H₂ sorption (physical and/or chemical adsorption) and ion electrosorption in nanoporous carbons.

Studies related to experimental work, theoretical calculations and a combination of both are welcome for submission. This Special Issue will offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art to researchers, engineers and students working in the areas of materials science, energy storage and catalysis.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
