Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decarbonization is vital for the mitigation of climate change. This can take many forms and paths as industrial processes are adapted or changed in an effort to reduce carbon intensity, new technologies are developed, and existing technologies are modified. In all of these approaches, ceramic materials can play a vital role in enabling decarbonization.
Existing ceramic materials are being utilized and new ceramic materials are being developed or need to be developed. The aim of this Special Issue, on “Ceramic Materials for Industrial Decarbonization” is to present the latest developments concerning advanced ceramics being utilized, approaches being taken, and future directions research needs to take to enable successful industrial decarbonization and the mitigation of climate change.
We are asking the research community to propose short communications, full papers, or reviews corresponding to this Special Issue. The following topics can be addressed:
- Existing ceramic materials being applied to the enabling of industrial decarbonization;
- New ceramic materials being developed to enable industrial decarbonization;
- Future ceramic research directions needed to enable industrial decarbonization;
- Characterization of ceramics for industrial decarbonization;
- Modeling related to the application of ceramics for industrial decarbonization.

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. Ceramics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
