Carbon Capture and Storage: A Way for the Future

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, direct air capture (DAC) of CO₂ has attracted immense attention. Industrialization has led to a significant rise in CO₂ concentration, which is responsible for global warming and a serious threat to many species in near future. Most CO₂ capture work so far has focused on post-combustion CO₂ capture from large point sources, which is not sufficient to potentially reduce CO₂ emissions in a practically meaningful manner. Direct CO₂ capture from air provides the best solution to considerably reducing CO₂ concentration in air. So far, most studies have focused on loading different amines (mostly polymeric) in high surface area materials (zeolites, silica, and MOF) and testing them for CO₂ uptake capacities. However, there have been very few studies on stability, regenerability, and amine efficiency of these adsorbents, which are a must for any practical application in the near future. Contributions to this Special Issue should report on carbon capture and storage technologies for practical applicability. Research articles, reviews, and short communication are welcome.

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. Polymers 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.
