Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to extend an invitation to you to participate and contribute to a special edition of Advanced Carbon Materials in Environment and Energy Storage. This issue is planned to highlight the cutting-edge developments and inventive uses for carbon-based materials, with a major focus on environmental issues and energy storage. The goal of this Special Issue is to compile state-of-the-art research on the synthesis, characterization, and uses of carbon compounds for energy storage and environmental protection technologies.
Original research pieces, reviews, and brief messages on the following subjects are welcome, while they are not restricted to them: advanced carbon materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, activated carbon, and carbon fibers, being synthesized and modified; carbon materials being used in carbon sequestration, pollution capture, analytical methods, and water and air purification; materials made of carbon for energy storage devices, such as batteries, supercapacitors, and green and ecological synthesis techniques for carbon compounds; carbon compounds with hybrid properties for analytical applications, remediation of environmental pollutants, improved energy storage, and conversion performance; and carbon components included in solar energy and fuel cell devices.

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.
