This Special Issue, entitled "Carbon and Related Composites for Sensors and Energy Storage: Synthesis, Properties, and Application" of the Journal of Carbon Research 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.
