Synthesis, Porous Structure Analysis, and Application of Sorbents in CO₂ Capture

Dear Colleagues,

The International Energy Agency has consistently highlighted that there is no unique or simple solution to meeting international neutral climate goals; cutting emissions is an urgent priority, but the development and deployment of carbon removal technologies using different CO₂ capture materials could play chief and complementary roles in shifting the energy sector toward carbon neutrality or negative emissions. 

This Special Issue, “Synthesis, Porous Structure Analysis, and Application of Sorbents in CO₂ capture” will address topics related, but not limited to, advances in the synthesis of sorbents for CO₂ capture; manipulation of sorbents porosity; supported and unsupported sorbents; micronized and nanosized sorbents; and stability, activity and regeneration of sorbents under different technologic applications, at low, medium, or high temperature. Additionally, bifunctional sorbent materials for CO₂ capture and conversion are welcome.

Original papers or reviews of efficient CO₂ capture sorbents synthesized by emerging and innovative techniques will be considered.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
