Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials are found in all classes of materials, from microporous zeolite ceramics, to mesoporous metals, to macroporous polymers. They are fundamental in a diverse range of applications, from structural materials to energy technologies. Recent advances in porous materials include the development of nanoporous metals by selective dissolution and their use in catalysis, and phase separation methods to make porous ceramics. This special issue of Materials will be devoted to exploring the wide range of types and applications of porous materials. Special emphasis will be devoted to new fabrication methods, new properties, and new applications of porous materials, and how these impact many different technologies.

Submission

All papers should be submitted to materials@mdpi.com. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special issue website.

Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed quarterly journal published by MDPI. Review manuscripts: Before writing their manuscripts, potential authors of review articles should forward the title and a short abstract to materials@mdpi.com. We will then provide feedback on the suitability of the topic.

Open Access publication fees are 300 CHF per paper. English correction fees and/or formatting fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (550 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections).
