Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the development of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) Technologies plays a key role within the strategies for reducing CO2 emissions, which aim to decelerate global warming. Therefore, the interest in processes that allow the transformation of CO2 into fuels or added-value chemicals has been renewed or reinforced, since their real success and profitability rely on a high performance, including high selectivity and energy efficiency.
Particularly, the recycling of the CO2 generated by main emitters, such as the automotive industry, oil refineries or steel and cement factories, among others, using renewable energy or combining renewable raw materials, is a highly-attractive approach in good agreement with the basis for the transition towards low-carbon productive processes, and circular economy models.
This Special Issue of Chemistry principally focuses on catalytic approaches of chemical and electrochemical transformations of CO2 into fuels and/or high-added value products. Therefore, the design, characterization and catalytic evaluation of new catalysts are included, as well as the use of advanced catalytic analysis by means of in-situ and/or operando approaches and kinetic studies. In addition, the use of catalytic devices, such structured and microstructured reactors or novel reactor designs for catalytic activity measurements during CO2 transformation will also be considered.

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. Chemistry 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
