Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid global transition toward next-generation energy storage technologies, carbon-based materials have emerged as leading candidates for scalable, efficient, and sustainable electrochemical systems. In particular, the development of high energy density supercapacitors is gaining significant momentum, driven by the increasing demand for fast-charging, long-cycle-life, and environmentally responsible energy devices. The fabrication, structural engineering, and performance optimization of carbon materials now represent a critical frontier in materials science and electrochemical engineering.
This Special Issue, “Fabrication of Carbon-Based Material for High Energy Density Supercapacitor”, aims to present the latest developments in the design, synthesis, surface modification, and device development associated with carbon-derived electrode materials. We welcome submissions exploring novel methods for tailoring porosity, conductivity, heteroatom doping, and composite integration, as well as innovative fabrication strategies that improve charge storage capability, energy density, and long-term stability.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Synthesis and structural tuning of graphene, CNTs, porous carbons, and biomass-derived carbons;
- Heteroatom-doped and functionalized carbon electrodes;
- Carbon-based composite materials with metals, oxides, or polymers;
- Advanced characterization of electrochemical interfaces and charge storage mechanisms;
- Novel fabrication processes for thin-film, flexible, microscale, and wearable supercapacitors;
- Techno-economic perspectives on scalable carbon electrode manufacturing;
- Emerging supercapacitor architectures for portable, grid, and biomedical energy systems;
- Sustainable and low-carbon feedstocks for high-performance electrodes.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, communications, and perspective papers that push the boundaries of high energy density carbon-based supercapacitor materials. We hope that this Special Issue will provide a focused platform for new insights, inspire collaborative development, and accelerate progress toward next-generation electrochemical energy 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes 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 2400 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.
