Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CO2 utilization is a promising method for producing various chemicals and a key issue for the sustainable development of society. The C of CO2 is in the highest oxidation state, and reduction is a basic and crucial method of CO2 transformation. Among the chemicals produced from CO2, oxygenates are more economical because both the C and O atoms of CO2 can be utilized. The oxygenates include alcohols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, CO, ethers, and esters. There are different methods for CO2 reduction, including hydrogenation, electrochemical reduction, and photochemical reduction. Additionally, organic substrates can also participate in the CO2 reduction reaction, forming larger molecules.

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. Chemistry 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 1800 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.
