Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urgent need to mitigate climate change has driven extensive research into innovative CO2 capture and conversion technologies. Over the past decade, high-efficiency and high-selectivity processes have become essential for transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. These advancements are crucial for establishing sustainable industrial practices, maximizing conversion rates, and ensuring the production of selective products with minimal byproducts. Such technologies are vital for promoting a circular economy and enhancing both economic and environmental viability.
This Special Issue aims to gather the most recent achievements and technological improvements in high-efficiency and high-selectivity CO2 conversion systems. The purpose is to create a platform for researchers to showcase novel ideas that push the boundaries of current technology, thereby improving the fundamental understanding and practical applications of CO2 conversion. This Special Issue aims to highlight breakthrough techniques, materials, and systems that considerably improve the efficiency and selectivity of CO2 conversion by bringing together a varied spectrum of studies. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Catalytic processes for CO2 conversion;
- Electrochemical reduction of CO2;
- Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical CO2 conversion;
- Biological and bio-inspired CO2 conversion methods;
- Novel materials and catalysts for enhanced CO2 selectivity;
- Reactor design and optimization for CO2 conversion;
- Integration of CO2 conversion processes with renewable energy sources;
- Techno-economic analysis of CO2 conversion technologies;
- Lifecycle assessment and environmental impact of CO2 conversion processes;
- Case studies and pilot projects demonstrating high-efficiency CO2 conversion.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
