About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to gather knowledge of recent advancements in additive manufactured products, develop advanced materials using AM technologies for energy applications, and address the challenges associated with traditional manufacturing techniques. Another goal is to showcase high-performance products for energy applications. Any AM methods for the development of energy materials, such as extrusion-based method (3D-printing), stereolithography (SLA), ink-jet printing, and powder-bed method (selective laser sintering, SLS) will be considered.
We invite the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• AM of adsorbents for adsorption applications (e.g., gas, vapors, liquid, volatile organic compounds, rare-earth metals adsorption, etc.)
• AM of materials for separation applications (e.g., carbon dioxide (CO2)/methane (CH4), oxygen (O2)/nitrogen (N2), etc.)
• AM of catalysts for catalysis applications (e.g., biogas, fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic converter, etc.)
• AM of materials used for electrolysis applications (e.g., solid oxide fuel, electrolysis cells, etc.)
• AM of materials used for nuclear applications (e.g., nuclear reactor, etc.)
• Unique designs and molds created using AM technologies for the abovementioned applications
• AM of materials for storage and purification applications (e.g., CH4 and H2 storage, air/water purification, etc.)
• Powder flowability and heat transfer for powder-based methods in AM
• AM of metals and alloys.
Keywords: Additive Manufacturing, adsorption, separation applications, powder flowability, heat transfer, metals and alloys
