Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon materials represent a significant material branch in modern material science owing to their diverse chemical processes, appealing properties, and ultrawide applications. The high electrical conductivity, excellent chemical/thermal stability, robust mechanical properties, tailorable morphologies, and large accessible surface make carbon materials highly favorable for energy-related applications: electrode materials/conductive additive/flexible substrates in energy storage devices, catalysis/light-weight support in energy conversion, and transparent electrodes in energy harvesting systems. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to reveal the processes in carbon matters (carbon materials and carbon-based composites).
The Special Issue will focus on novel synthesis of carbon matters, advanced structure characterization, and investigation on energy processes. The topics include but are not limited to:
- Fabrication of carbon materials (graphene, graphite, carbon nanotube, fullerene, carbon fiber, soft/hard carbon, amorphous carbon, porous carbon, etc.) and carbon-based composites;
- In situ/ex situ analysis on synthesis processes, structural evolution, and mechanism investigation;
- Exploration of energy applications (rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, solar cells, nano-generator, and others) of carbon matters.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
