Most-cited papers in Sustainable Chemistry

A Review on Battery Market Trends, Second-Life Reuse, and Recycling

Yanyan Zhao, Oliver Pohl, Anand I. Bhatt et al. · 9 Mar 2021

The rapid growth, demand, and production of batteries to meet various emerging applications, such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems, will result in waste and disposal problems in the next few years as these batteries reach end-of-life. Battery reuse and recycling are becoming urgent worldwide priorities to protect the environment and address the increasing…

The Chemical Recycling of PLA: A Review

Paul McKeown, Matthew D. Jones · 2 May 2020

Plastics are an indispensable material with numerous benefits and advantages compared to traditional materials, such as glass and paper. However, their widespread use has caused significant environmental pollution and most plastics are currently nonrenewable. Biobased polymers represent an important step for tackling these issues, however, the end-of-life disposal of such materials needs to be critically…

A Review of Enzyme Induced Carbonate Precipitation (EICP): The Role of Enzyme Kinetics

Isaac Ahenkorah, Md Mizanur Rahman, Md Rajibul Karim et al. · 22 Feb 2021

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is a relatively new bio-cementation technique for ground improvement. In EICP, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation occurs via urea hydrolysis catalysed by the urease enzyme sourced from plants. EICP offers significant potential for innovative and sustainable engineering applications, including strengthening of soils, remediation of contaminants, enhancement of oil recovery through bio-plugging and…

E-Wastes: Bridging the Knowledge Gaps in Global Production Budgets, Composition, Recycling and Sustainability Implications

Hem Ghimire, Parisa A. Ariya · 9 Sep 2020

Rapid urbanization, advancements in science and technology, and the increase in tech-savviness of consumers have led to an exponential production of a variety of electronic equipment. The global annual growth rate of e-waste volume exceeds the growth rate of the human population. Electronic waste has now become a point of concern globally (53.6 million metric…

Review on Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Metals with Deep Eutectic Solvents

Guillaume Zante, Maria Boltoeva · 3 Oct 2020

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) appeared recently as a new class of green designer solvents. The recovery of metals using hydrometallurgy is of major importance with the growth in metal demand. Several authors used these solvents for the hydrometallurgical recovery of metals from primary and secondary resources, and these studies are reviewed in the present work.…

Sustainable Chemistry template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Sustainable Chemistry format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sustainable Chemistry template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Sustainable Chemistry use?
Sustainable Chemistry uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Sustainable Chemistry 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Sustainable Chemistry?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Sustainable Chemistry document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Sustainable Chemistry template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sustainable Chemistry format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Sustainable Chemistry?
Sustainable Chemistry (Sustain. Chem.) - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Sustainable Chemistry PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Sustainable Chemistry template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Sustainable Chemistry template cost?
You can start writing in the Sustainable Chemistry template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Sustainable Chemistry PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
