Advanced Materials and Technologies for Low-Carbon Bioenergy and Biochemicals

Dear Colleagues,

The world is facing the problem of limited resources, while at the same time, issues related to energy, climate change, and environmental pollution are growing. We need a new paradigm and technology to tackle these challenges by providing renewable energy and materials in a sustainable manner: in short, we need to build a low-carbon circular economy. To realize the low-carbon circular economy, however, we need disruptive technologies and innovative materials. For instance, upcycling low-value byproducts and wastes into a higher-value product is one way that can contribute to the establishment of the low-carbon circular economy. This Special Issue will discuss new technologies and materials to facilitate the growth of the low-carbon circular economy, sustainably promoting society’s prosperity.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
