Frontiers in Energy - Call for Papers: "Special Issue on Electrochemical CO2 reduction for reducing CO2 emission and producing value-added products"
Frontiers in Energy, a journal of Transactions of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), is a peer-reviewed international journal launched by Higher Education Press, CAE, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer. It aims to promote rapid communication and dialogue among researchers, scientists, engineers, and policymakers working in the areas of energy and power engineering. Frontiers in Energy has been indexed by SCI, EI, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, CSCD, etc., attracting a large readership both in China and abroad.
The massive consumption of fossil fuels has led to the excessive emission of CO2 in our atmosphere, which has caused global warming and induced extreme weather events. Electrochemical and photochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are effective pathways not only to reducing the CO2 emission, but also to convert CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals. However, in CO2, each carbon atom forms double bonds with two oxygen atoms, resulting in an extremely stable linear molecule. Meanwhile, During CO2RR, the complex reaction network makes it difficult to obtain desired carbon products with proper yield. Therefore, developing highly efficient and selective catalysts is being the cutting-edge topics in CO2RR research. At the same time, other factors, including anodic catalysts, electrolyzer design, product collection and separation, etc., are all of the promising CO2RR technology towards industrial applications. To provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in CO2RR catalysis research, Frontiers in Energy is launching a Special Issue entitled “Electrochemical CO2 reduction for reducing CO2 emission and producing value-added products”.
This Special Issue aims to reporting the recent progress and developments in CO2RR catalysis to offer new insights and guidance with regard to research directions. The submitted manuscripts (Comments, Research Articles, Minireview/Review, Viewpoints, News & Highlights, Perspectives, etc.) should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a peer-review process.
Topics for Special Issue:
1. Electrocatalysis: Electrochemical CO2RR catalysts, photoelectrochemical CO2RR catalysts, catalyst activity, stability and selectivity
2. Electrolytes: Electrochemical CO2RR electrolytes, photoelectrochemical CO2RR electrolytes
3. Electrolyzers & product collection and separation: Electrochemical CO2RR cell design and fabrication, product collection and analysis
4. Reduction of competitive hydrogen evolution for increasing Faradic Efficiency.
5. Fundamentals, advanced characterization technology and DFT calculations: Fundamentals, advanced characterization technologies and DFT calculations for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical CO2RR mechanisms.
