Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon capture is a key solution to address the ongoing issue of climate change, which has resulted from enhanced emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere. There has been a continuous push from governments worldwide, which have invested big money, to develop new and advanced technologies to address this issue. Materials-based carbon capture holds good promise for the capture of CO2 in different conditions of temperature and pressure and has been explored on a large scale. An intense amount of research has revealed the suitability of materials including MOFs, zeolites, carbons, silica, and polymers for adsorption-based capture of CO2. However, only zeolite-type materials have been able to reach the commercial stage due to their low cost and high efficiency. Materials-based CO2 capture still suffers from limitations, such as the reduced capability for CO2 capture in the presence of water, realizing ideal binding of the adsorbent and adsorbate to enhance the process attributes, less CO2 adsorption at low pressure, and so on. This Special Issue is aimed at propagating new advancements in research on materials vs. CO2 capture by covering the synthesis of novel materials in different categories.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
