Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous materials provide an opportunity to achieve efficient sorption and removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with applications in Direct Air Capture (DAC). Surface and pore engineering are two key lever arms to enhance pumping speed. A key metric of grams carbon dioxide captured per square meter per second, combined with cycle time for adsorption and desorption, should be used in evaluating and comparing porous materials for DAC. Combined with the total enthalpy for the sorption and desorption cycle, the pumping speed provides a means to model large-scale DAC systems from bench scale experiments.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
