Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Processes is pleased to announce the publication of this Special Issue in honor of Prof. Vicente Gómez Serrano on the occasion of his retirement.
He was born in Monte Lope Álvarez (Jaén, Spain) and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Granada in 1982. After a short stage in England, in 1983, he moved to the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Extremadura, where he has worked for nearly forty years and risen through the academic ranks to Full Professor. In addition to his teaching and management activities, Prof. Gómez Serrano has developed a very intense research activity, as evidenced by his outstanding contributions in the field of carbon-based materials. Currently, he has authored more than 140 scientific publications, including peer-reviewed research articles and book chapters, with a h-index of 42 and more than 6400 citations. Besides this prolific career, Prof. Gómez Serrano has been an excellent mentor, with whom it has been a great pleasure to work.
This Special Issue of Processes is intended to provide a broad overview of recent progress and research trends in the field of carbon-based materials, including but not limited to activated carbon and biochar. Accordingly, both original research and review articles covering the latest findings in their preparation, characterization, and applications are welcome. We strongly encourage Ph.D. students, collaborators, and friends of Prof. Gómez Serrano to submit their original contributions in order to honor his outstanding research career.
Prof. Dr. Adrián Bogeat-Barroso
Guest Editor
