Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass-derived carbon materials, their polymer composites, and nanomaterials have gained considerable interest due to their tunable morphology, porosity, and conductivity, being used in environmental remediation, the energy sector, and catalysis. Recent advances in electrode material synthesis have increased their energy storage and catalytic efficiency.
This Special Issue seeks research related to advancements in the synthesis of biomass-derived carbon, transitional metal oxide/sulfide, polymers, and composite electrodes for supercapacitor applications and reactions including oxygen evolution, (OER), hydrogen evolution (HER), and oxygen reduction (ORR).
This Special Issue is also dedicated to advances in the synthesis of electrode materials for supercapacitors and electrocatalysis.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We anticipate your valuable contributions.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
