Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As increasing attention has been paid on global warming, CO2 capture is vital to relieve environmental pressure and sustainable development. Currently, aqueous alkanolamine solutions are commonly used to capture CO2, generating large amounts of organic waste and requiring huge energy input for regeneration. In light of this, developing porous materials has seen significant growth in recent years considering the tremendous energy savings. Some of the synthesized porous materials have been evaluated for CO2 capture at the laboratory scale. However, to meet the future carbon neutrality target, a transition from current-phase to next-generation CO2 capture materials with better CO2 recognition performance, higher capacity, lower regeneration energy consumption, lower costs, and long-term cycling ability is inevitable. This transition will include not only the development, characterization, and modification of porous adsorbents, but also the development of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) CO2 capture systems at the industry scale.
In this Special Issue, we are looking for contributions helping to:
- Understand the CO2 capture mechanisms through in situ and simulation analysis;
- Determine the impact of structural properties on the CO2 capture materials’ overall performance;
- Offer design principles of materials with high adsorption capacity and ideal adsorption selectivity for CO2 capture;
- Develop CO2 capture systems at the industry scale.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- The design of CO2 capture systems based on porous materials;
- Industry CO2 technologies;
- Direct air capture technologies;
- Structure–activity relationship of CO2 capture materials;
- CO2 sorption modeling and simulation.

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
