Materials and Emerging Technologies for Sustainability (METS)

METS provides a unique venue for exchanging scientific and technical advances in order to speed up the applied process of industrial production, energy circulation, etc. toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Also, METS accelerates the expansion of innovative entities in a multitude of emerging fields based on global technology trends, environmental responsibility, and societal impact.

METS publishes articles that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Emerging materials and technologies: advanced functional materials, smart materials, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and additive manufacturing
• Sustainability communications and environmental impact: sustainable materials, green manufacturing processes, recycling, waste reduction
• Renewable energy, resources circularity and sustainable management of end-of-life products: electric vehicle batteries, solar cells, hydrogen energy, fuel cells
• Smart technology for sustainability development: carbon capture, utilization, storage, and conversion to valuable fuels
• Simulation, modeling, and theory of advanced materials
• Materials informatics: data mining and knowledge discovery in materials science and engineering
