Porous Materials for Energy and Environment Applications, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In the past few decades, traditional fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, have been the biggest contributors to sustainable economic development in industrial sectors. However, the negative environmental and economic impacts of these fuels should be considered, as fossil fuels are the cause problems such as environmental pollution, global warming, and economic security. For example, due to the burning of hydrocarbon fossil fuels, CO₂ and other pollutant emissions are some of main contributors to atmospheric pollution and climate change. In order to cope with this crisis, porous materials for use in energy and environment applications are becoming a hot spot in industry and academia. An increasing number of researchers are entering the field, and the number of related papers is growing quickly. Thus, we are committed to providing a platform for the dissemination of high-quality papers in the field of porous materials for energy and environmental applications. This second edition is based on the successful first edition and continues to focus on fundamental and applied research on the use of porous materials to reduce CO₂ and pollutant emissions or to produce clean energy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Porous materials for CO₂ capture and reduction;
• Porous materials for pollutant gas capture;
• Porous materials for photosynthesis and photocatalysis;
• Porous materials for clean energy;
• Porous materials for water purification.
