Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon is a first sign of life, but its excessive presence in the atmosphere could also lead to the destruction of life. Carbon dioxide is released during various natural processes, which is auto-neutralized by nature and kept within a certain limit. However, rapid growth of industrialization and surge in energy demand worldwide have increased carbon levels beyond this limit, thereby necessitating additional support for carbon capture and recycling technologies to balance the carbon level and/or to minimize the severity of global warming and other climate issues.
Currently, different technological prospects are being pursued to retract carbon from industries, coal fire power plants, and air. While some technologies follow the retro concept of adsorption, where polymer, solvent, and solid sorbents are used, others use chemical looping and electrochemical separation based on redox reaction and conduction of specific ion, respectively. The development of these technologies is challenged by the trade-off gap among CO2 capture capacity, selectivity, and capital cost, which could potentially be resolved through intensive understanding of material chemistry, modifying materials dimension, introducing novel concepts, and designing new devices using cutting-age technologies.
This Special Issue, ‘Developments in Low and High-Temperature CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies’, aims to compile recent research detailing state-of-the-art concepts, theories, experiments, numerical data assessments, modeling, and novel future developments in CO2 capture and storage, as well innovative ideas for fabrication, characterization, and testing that may help in the commercialization of such technologies.
We cordially invite academics and researchers across the world to submit their original research, technical reports, short communications, as well as mini and extended review articles.
The research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Ceramic–carbonate composite membranes for high temperature CO2 separation;
- Materials fabrication and processing for high CO2 capture throughput;
- Surface modification and tailoring chemical composition of polymer, solvent, and inorganic porous sorbents;
- Advances in metal organic framework (MOF);
- Low-temperature CO2 adsorption and insight of mechanism;
- Lifetime and technological liability assessments for commercialization;
- Theoretical modeling of CO2 adsorption and separation systems;
- Recovery and recyclability of materials for ecofriendly approach;
- Electrochemical reduction of CO2+/H2
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. Membranes 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.
