• It provides a scientific platform for physicists, mathematicians, chemists, material scientists, engineers, biophysicists, biomedical engineers and tissue engineers to contribute innovative works combining their disciplines in sustainability science and technology该刊为物理学家、数学家、化学家、材料科学家、工程师、生物物理学家、生物医学工程师与组织工程师提供科学平台，使其在可持续科学与技术领域贡献跨学科的创新成果。
• Topics include resource-efficiency optimisation such as minimising precious metals in product design, innovative approaches with breakthrough performance for CO2 capture and utilisation, and energy sources for the long term选题涵盖资源效率优化（如尽量减少产品设计中的贵金属用量）、在二氧化碳捕集与利用上具突破性能的创新方法，以及长期能源来源。
• Topics also include material recycling and materials recovery from complex products, material substitution to enable lower-impact production or use, lifecycle analyses of sustainable technologies, and advanced manufacturing processes with reduced energy, water and materials footprint选题还包括复杂产品中的材料回收与材料再利用、以降低生产或使用影响的材料替代、可持续技术的生命周期分析，以及降低能源、水与材料足迹的先进制造工艺。
• Topics further include theory and simulation for energy and environmental systems, emerging materials for efficient sustainable energy and environment devices, sustainable fuel generation through efficient photo-, thermo-, electro- and chemo-catalysis, and sustainable biomaterials for biomedical or antimicrobial applications选题亦包括能源与环境系统的理论与模拟、用于高效可持续能源与环境器件的新兴材料、经高效光、热、电、化学催化实现的可持续燃料制备，以及面向生物医学或抗菌应用的可持续生物材料。
• Submitted papers must include a quantitative discussion of why the new material, use or process is a significant improvement in performance or economics with a focus on sustainability, and out of scope are papers on cement, concrete or other building materials, thermal insulators, recycled building materials and green buildings as well as submissions focusing only on policy, decision making or economic aspects投稿须包含定量论述，说明新材料、用途或工艺为何在性能或经济性上有显著改进并兼顾可持续性；水泥、混凝土或其他建筑材料、隔热材料、再生建筑材料与绿色建筑相关论文不在收录范围，仅聚焦政策、决策或经济层面的投稿亦不适用。
