Circular Materials Engineering: Waste Valorization and Sustainable Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The various materials utilized in applications such as energy production and storage, environmental protection, construction and building, electronic and optoelectronic have all been the subject of extensive scientific research in recent years. These materials have attracted a great deal of interest from researchers in many different disciplines because of their unique qualities. The physical, chemical, optical, and surface properties of these make them useful in the abovementioned fields.

Waste byproducts, are extensively studied for resource conservation and their implicit minimization of environmental impacts.

It is well known that creating novel materials for different applications is a significant issue today. In actuality, the study of new materials from waste or derivates must examine the remediation of water, air, and soil or the obtainment of  materials with added value.

The main objective of this topic is to bring further attention to materials synthesized from wastes and their application in new and green technologies.

Circular Materials Engineering: Waste Valorization and Sustainable Applications is a topic devoted to advanced applications of materials obtained by waste capitalization.

For this topic, applications such as energy storage, wastewater treatment, photocatalysis, air purification, soil treatment, adsorbents, glass and ceramic applications, concrete and mortars, and insulation materials, among others, are taken into consideration.

We kindly invite you to submit your work on this topic in the form of a research article, communication, or review.
