Electrochemical Applications of Carbon-Based Nanomaterials

This special issue belongs to the section “Nanochemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The progress recorded in the last years has highlighted a sustained effort concentrated on carbon-based nanomaterials for electrochemical applications. In this context, this Special Issue will focus on electrochemical applications of carbon nanomaterials of the graphene type, including graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon quantum dots, and their composites derived from insulating and conducting polymers, inorganic semiconductors, or metallic nanoparticles. This Special Issue aims to provide information regarding electrochemical applications of carbon-based nanomaterials in the field of supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, (bio)sensors, and anticorrosion protection.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Electrode materials in energy storage
  • Performances of carbon nanomaterials in symmetrical and asymmetrical supercapacitors
  • New progresses in lithium, sodium, or potassium ion batteries
  • Carbon nanostructures for Li–S batteries
  • Current progress of carbon nanomaterials for fuel cells
  • Carbon nanomaterials as selective electrochemical (bio)sensors
  • Composite coatings as corrosion resistance layers
  • Corrosion of electrodes in carbon nanomaterials-based nanofluids
  • Oxidation/reduction reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface
  • Chemical sensing, biosensing, nanomedicine, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis
  • Applications of carbon quantum dots in emerging quantum technologies

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
