Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene-based materials are promising options for use in supercapacitors and other energy storage devices as they have properties like a tunable surface area, high electrical conductivity, and good chemical stability and mechanical behavior. Graphene itself has outstanding material properties, i.e., it is the thinnest material and possesses the highest conductivity, great strength, light absorption and supercapacitor properties due to its large relative surface area. Graphene-based supercapacitors are advantageous due to their lightweight nature, elastic properties and mechanical strength. It has been revealed that a graphene-based supercapacitor can store almost as much energy as lithium-ion batteries, and they can be charged and discharged in seconds, maintaining these functionalities over ten-thousand charging cycles. This Special Issue will address ways to employ and functionalize graphene to achieve advanced supercapacitors and provide evidence and proof of the properties and capabilities of these devices.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
