Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, the issue of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their impact on climate change has become increasingly urgent. In response to this global challenge, researchers have been exploring innovative solutions for capturing and converting CO2. Among these, nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates due to their unique properties and versatile applications in CO2 capture, storage, and conversion processes. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in the field of nanomaterials for CO2 capture and conversion and their potential contributions to addressing climate change.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and advancements in nanomaterial utilization for CO2 capture and conversion. We welcome contributions across various topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Synthesis and characterization of novel nanomaterials for CO2 capture and conversion;
- Mechanistic studies and theoretical modeling of CO2 adsorption and conversion processes on nanomaterials;
- Development of advanced nanocomposites and hybrid materials for enhanced CO2 capture efficiency and selectivity;
- Applications of nanomaterials in catalytic CO2 conversion reactions, such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and thermal catalysis;
- Integration of nanomaterial-based technologies into practical CO2 capture and utilization systems.
Submissions can encompass experimental and theoretical perspectives, along with interdisciplinary approaches that merge materials science, chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. Through this collaborative effort, we aim to advance our understanding and utilization of nanomaterials for CO2 capture and conversion, contributing to a more sustainable and greener future.

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.
