Porous Carbon Materials and Their Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Green Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous carbon materials have versatile applications in different areas of science and technology. In modern times, there are different varieties of porous carbons, including activated carbon, soft and hard templated mesoporous carbons, activated carbon fibers or porous nanocarbons. So far, among all types of nanoporous materials, porous carbons have the largest applications in different sectors of the scientific, technological, and industrial sectors. Different applications of porous carbons include gas adsorption and separation, water purification, energy storage media like those of supercapacitor, structural support, like activated fiber, and different biological applications, including diagnostic materials and drug delivery. This Special Issue of Molecules on porous carbon materials and applications will invite contributions from all areas and applications of porous carbons, including novel synthesis techniques and characterizations. The following keywords will further help in clarifying the sort of contributions we seek on porous carbons.

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.
