State of the Art in Separation and Analysis of Energies
This special issue belongs to the section “Separation Science in Energies“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce a new topical collection of Separations on the topic “State of the Art in Separation and Analysis of Energies”.
In general terms, “energies” can be defined as all developments and applications with regard to energy supply, conversion, application and storage.
In the topical collection “State of the Art in Separation and Analysis of Energies”, we are welcoming original research and review articles on the development and application of separation methods in this field.
The Separation and analysis of energies is a broad field and can cover all separation techniques and detection methods. These methods can be based on analysis approaches or chemical/physical separations of elements or compounds. The identification/quantification or enhanced separation of elements and compounds are of particular interest. Reports on quality control and the standardization of energy products or materials will also be considered on the basis of their significance in the field.
In all cases, novelty will be the major suitability criterion of submitted articles. Authors should always address the novelty of their proposed methodology and draw a comparison with previously reported methods.
