Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous rise of atmospheric CO2 concentration is a major contributor to climate change. Therefore, adequate measures of capture and valorization are very important to control CO2 emissions, namely, by: i) reducing the amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere, ii) increasing the storage of CO2, and iii) fostering the use of CO2 as a feedstock to produce added-value products such as chemicals and fuels. The most promising path is the last one.
Considering that CO2 can be involved in many processes, it is possible to highlight the production of methanol, syngas, and hydrocarbons. An important key of these processes is to develop a very active and select catalyst.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Preparation, Characterization of Catalysts for CO2 Valorization” aims to report new advances and insights into strategies for synthesizing and characterizing improved and new catalysts for CO2 valorization. The design of new catalysts that present a high activity and selectivity for converting carbon dioxide into value-added products continues to be a challenge.

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. Materials 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.
