Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biomass is a cheap, accessible, widely dispersed, eco-friendly and renewable source of carbon. Given that biomass is a by-product/bio-waste of forestry, industry and agriculture, realizing acceptable disposal of it is a crucial concern. Biomass-derived carbonaceous nanoparticles have application potential in gas sensors, fuel cells, bioimaging, drug delivery, carbon fixation and catalysis. The materials' highly developed and manageable pore structure, large specific surface area and increased degree of graphitization have drawn the attention of researchers across the globe. Because of its sustainability, affordability and high carbon content, biomass is seen as a promising source for creating useful carbon compounds. The study of carbon materials generated from biomass has been a burgeoning research area. It has been claimed that the materials have novel structures, several synthesis techniques, and a variety of applications, such as electrode materials for energy storage devices.

This Special Issue is focused on the most recent research advances in biomass-based carbon nanomaterials for high-performance energy storage device electrodes.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
