Reduction of CO₂ to Value-Added Oxygenates

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.

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. 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.
