Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance supercapacitor devices have been caught great attention to addressing the ever-increasing energy storage concerns. Carbon-based materials are at the forefront to address that concern due to their high-power density, excellent thermal stability, high conductivity, and exceptional stability in both acidic and alkaline conditions. Moreover, abundantly available in nature and low cost are other important factors that made carbon materials have been always within attention among the energy companies and researchers. On the other hand, the depletion of natural combustion-based energy sources due to the growing demands of energy in different sectors such as transportation, industrial, and agricultural may lead to an energy crisis. In this scenario, achieving secure and sustainable energy sources for the next generation is one of the biggest challenges to humankind. Hydrogen generation from the splitting of water and fuel cell technologies are the front-liner alternative and renewable energy sources. Carbon materials are important candidates for enhancing water splitting.
Herein, this special issue covers the design, synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and any electrochemical performances of any carbon materials, their composites, and modifications. Carbon materials include carbon nanotubes, carbon nano/microspheres, carbon nanofibers, graphene, fullerene, etc.). We invite authors to submit their original research work as well as review articles with major focus on carbon-based materials for energy storage and water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, photo catalysis 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. Electrochem 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 1000 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.
