Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing anthropogenic CO2 emissions have gained considerable attention from the scientific community in both academia and industry, and it is known as the major contributing factor to the changing climate. Carbon dioxide capture, conversion and utilization technology could be one of the most promising solutions to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions energy systems, which can use CO2 as carbon sources for chemical and fuel productions.
This Special Issue of Sustainability on “Advances in CO2 conversion and utilization” seeks contributions to assess state-of-the-art technologies, latest developments and future perspectives of CO2 conversion and utilization applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, new technology and material development, electrochemical and photo-electrochemical CO2 reduction, plasma-based CO2 conversion, reactor design, thermochemical CO2 reduction, DFT calculation, materials for CO2 adsorption and activation, CO2 conversion to value-added chemicals, modeling of the CO2 conversion process, integrated processes for CO2 utilization, industrial exploitation, and new applications involving CO2. Original articles, perspectives, and reviews are welcome.
We are looking forward to receiving your work for this Special Issue.

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. Sustainability 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.
