Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to a special issue of the journal Metals on metal processing for sustainability. As many of you know, open source and open access have been important to me throughout my career, so when invited I welcomed the opportunity to create a special issue in Metals which is completely open access.
This is a broad topic, covering areas from clean production of high-volume commodity metals such as steel, Al, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mg, etc; to scaling clean production of metals for new energy systems including silicon, rare earth, and battery materials; to energy storage inspired by metal processing such as liquid metal batteries.
This topic is inspired in part by the Reactive Metals Workshop (RMW), and I have met many of you through RMW. Whether you’re connected to the workshop or not, I look forward to seeing many of you in March at the first RMW in three years.
Dr. Adam C. Powell
