Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of new materials for gas capture and conversion has gained significant attention due to growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable energy. For instance, the capture and conversion of CO2 based on novel sorbents and catalysts has been recognized as one of the most promising approaches to mitigate global warming and provide valuable products. The separation and purification of various hazardous gases, including SOx, NOx, VOCs, and heavy metals, are of great significance for environmental protection. Nowadays, the fabrication of new materials with superior performance for gas capture and conversion and the in-depth investigation of the related mechanisms have become the focus of studying.
This Special Issue aims to promote and disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge on new materials for efficient gas capture and conversion. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. The research scope may include (but is not limited to) the following:
- Various materials (liquid/solid sorbents, membranes, etc.) for gas capture from complicated environments;
- Noval catalysts for gas conversion to provide valuable products or purify contaminants;
- Kinetic modelling, thermodynamic analysis, and process simulation for gas capture and conversion;
- Other applications involving gas capture and conversion.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
