Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous carbon materials have versatile applications in the modern world. Different varieties of carbon exist, including activated carbon, nanocarbon, soft and hard templated mesoporous carbon, carbon fibers, or biochar. This Special Issue of Molecules invites submissions of articles that specifically target the application of carbon-based materials toward sustainability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, carbon capture, air purification, water purification, trace contaminant removal, and the sensing and removal of chemical warfare agents. We also welcome research on the synthesis of carbon-based materials using a sustainable approach.
Dr. Dipendu Saha
