Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous rise in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, mainly from fossil fuel-based energy production and industrial processes, has led to significant climate change impacts. To combat this, CO₂ capture has emerged as a crucial technology. However, existing CO₂ capture methods face various limitations, spurring the need for new research and innovation. This Special Issue aims to clearly identify and analyze the key challenges in CO₂ capture. This includes technological barriers like low-efficiency capture materials, high-energy-consuming processes, and difficulties in integrating capture systems into existing industrial set-ups. It also seeks to explore the latest research trends. This involves emerging areas such as bio-inspired CO₂ capture, electro-chemical and photochemical methods, and the use of artificial intelligence in optimizing capture processes. Authors are encouraged to submit papers that address these challenges or showcase new research trends. Papers can be experimental, theoretical, or review-based. Experimental papers may present new materials or processes, theoretical papers may offer models for understanding and predicting capture behavior, and review papers may summarize and analyze the current state of the art in CO₂ capture research.

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.
