Chemical Looping CO₂ Capture and In Situ Reforming

Dear Colleagues,

The chemical looping has the feature of "internal separation of CO₂", which can achieve the distinct advantages of low energy consumption and low pollution conversion of carbon-containing substances. Chemical looping technology originated from the commercial iron–steam hydrogen production in the early 19th century and flourished in the mid-21st century with the clean combustion of fossil fuels and CO₂ capture. After years of development, it has been applied in the clean utilization of fossil energy, the production of high-value chemicals, and the resource utilization of waste, among other fields.

This Special Issue aims to focus on the technology of CO₂ resource capture, utilization and high value-added utilization based on the principle of chemical looping, and provide a platform for extensive academic exchanges and discussions.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. The mechanism of CO₂ conversion in chemical looping
2. Suitable bi-functional materials for CO₂ capture and in situ conversion
3. Development of a new chemical looping CO₂ capture and conversion system and process

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
