Carbon and Related Composites for Sensors and Energy Storage

<p>This Special Issue entitled Carbon and Related Composites for Sensors and Energy Storage: Synthesis Properties and Application of the <em>Journal of Carbon Research</em> presents state-of-the-art contributions based on preparation and characterization techniques of carbon-related materials in the field of energy storage and sensor applications. Carbon and carbon nanomaterials including 0D quantum dots fullerenes 1D carbon nanotubes 2D graphene reduced graphene oxide and other carbon-related nanostructures have shown unique morphological electrical thermal mechanical electromechanical and electromagnetic properties for a wide range of applications. Highly conductive graphene materials are used for chemical and thermal sensors while composites with carbon-related materials have been studied in a variety of electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) as well as in different types of batteries for energy storage.</p>
