Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for this Special Issue, which aims to collect high-quality contributions on innovative strategies for the development of green solvents and materials for CO2 capture. We welcome original research articles, review articles, and case studies exploring novel concepts, materials, and process configurations. In the broader context of the global transition toward net-zero emissions, advanced CO2 capture technologies are expected to play a pivotal role within integrated carbon management strategies. The continued reliance on fossil fuels has led to a significant increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which are widely recognized as a primary driver of climate change. In response, substantial efforts have been made by both the scientific community and policymakers to develop effective solutions for CO2 capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS). Significant progress has been achieved in recent decades, particularly in the development of advanced materials such as deep eutectic solvents, ionic liquids, amine-based systems, and hybrid sorbents. However, many of these systems still face challenges related to synthesis complexity, energy demand for regeneration, environmental impact, and scalability. In this context, a key challenge is the design of truly sustainable materials and processes that are consistent with green chemistry principles. Particular attention will be given to solutions that minimize energy penalties, enhance recyclability, and reduce environmental impact while maintaining high CO2 capture efficiency. Contributions addressing experimental investigations, process modeling and simulation, and scale-up strategies, as well as techno-economic and life cycle assessment (LCA) studies, are strongly encouraged. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary approaches bridging chemistry, materials science, and process engineering.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the design of next-generation green solvents and materials for CO2 capture, ultimately supporting sustainable pathways for industrial decarbonization.
We seek high-quality and timely submissions to further strengthen this evolving research area.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Clean Technologies 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.
