Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon materials are at the forefront of electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies due to their tunable structure, high electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and versatile surface functionality. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the design, engineering, and application of carbon-based materials across a wide range of electrochemical systems, including batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalytic devices. The submission of contributions focusing on porous and nanostructured carbons, heteroatom-doped materials, biomass-derived carbons, and carbon-based composites is particularly encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on understanding structure–property–performance relationships, interfacial phenomena, and charge transfer mechanisms, as well as elucidating strategies for enhancing capacity, rate capability, durability, and overall device efficiency. Studies addressing scalable synthesis, sustainable precursors, and practical implementation are also welcome. This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for both fundamental insights and engineering advancements in carbon materials for next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies.

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.
