Development of Advanced Adsorption and Catalytic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Adsorption and catalytic materials are important in a variety of industrial applications, including environmental remediation, energy production, and chemical synthesis. Adsorption materials are substances that have the ability to trap and hold molecules or particles on their surface through a process called adsorption. The materials used for adsorption can be organic or inorganic and can be of different shapes and sizes, such as powders, granules, or fibers. Moreover, the development of hybrid adsorbents, which combine different types of adsorption materials, has led to materials with improved adsorption properties and selectivity, further increasing their potential applications. Common examples of adsorption materials include activated carbon, zeolites, silica gel, alumina, and ion exchange resins. Overall, adsorption materials are critical in a wide range of applications and contribute significantly to environmental protection, industrial processes, health and medicine, and energy applications.

In general, the effectiveness of an adsorption material depends on factors such as its surface area, pore size, and chemical composition, as well as the properties of the molecules or particles being adsorbed. In many cases, adsorption and catalytic materials are used together to achieve specific chemical transformations. This Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for a thorough discussion of the most recent advances in the design, characterization, and application of adsorption and catalytic materials.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
