Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The seriousness of the threat posed by the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is significant and alarming in the present environment. Addressing the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality by closing the carbon cycle is a significant global endeavor. To achieve this objective, interdisciplinary research initiatives integrating cutting-edge materials and chemical processes are imperative for advancing carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) technologies. This Special Issue on nanomaterials will showcase the latest advances in CO2 capture and conversion technology to promote the transition to a sustainable society. We welcome high-quality submissions in the form of articles, reviews, or perspectives that push boundaries in the field of CCUS.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
