Thanks for your kind interest in Carbon Neutralization. The submissions have to consist of the contents that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of conferences or symposiums.
The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCID ID (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers as well as develop your personal profile in a worldwide platform.
All the submissions will be performed and processed using ScholarOne online submission system.
A cover letter should be included in the ‘Cover Letter Field’ of the ScholarOne system. The text can be entered directly into the field or uploaded as a file.
The cover letter should contain:
1. A statement confirming the paper has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
2. An acknowledgment that all authors have contributed significantly and in keeping with the latest guidelines of the International Committee of the Journal Editors, each author’s contribution to the paper is to be described, i.e., what role each author participated in.
3. A statement confirming that all authors are in agreement with the content of manuscript.
In addition, the authors should state clearly the motivation and the novelty of their research in the cover letter. The author also needs to clarify the key results and the advances compared to previous work of their manuscripts.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at Link here.

2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Carbon Neutralization aims to publish on a wide range of topics from different disciplines that share the focus on the advanced carbon materials and their empowered processes, such as energy storage and conversion, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, heterocatalysis, etc. The cutting-edge research will cover all forms of energy involving carbon materials, spanning from conventional electric and thermal energy to the type that catalyzes chemical and biological transformation. This journal will also prompt new technologies leading to the control of carbon emission and green production of carbon materials. It is expected to make a mark in the field of materials science, electrochemistry, chemical/biochemical synthesis, etc., with ambitions of a high academic impact.
Carbon Neutralization publishes original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and editorials with high-quality and significant advance in fundamental insight and/or technological application within a field of research including, but not limited to:
Advanced materials
Ecosystems
