Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass is a readily available renewable resource, and there has been immense interest from the scientific community regarding the trend of obtaining carbon materials from biomass. Forest, agricultural, and marine waste biomass are all lignocellulosic biomass, which have proved to be great substrates for carbon materials. The properties of carbon obtained from biomass residues can be altered in accordance with its allocations.
Carbon materials with a high surface area and micro- and mesoporous-activated structures, and which are doped with heteroatoms, are being used in various domains such as energy, environment, sensors, agriculture, and defense. There is a dire need to further explore lignocellulosic biomass as a sustainable substrate for carbon materials. Furthermore, the in-depth characterization of these materials leads to innovation, resulting in new perspectives towards their structure, properties, and in turn, their applications.

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. Clean Technologies 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.
