The “Porous Materials” Section in Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944) publishes original contributions detailing the synthesis, design, characterisation, and applications in different areas of porous materials. Fields covered include all types of porous materials in the broad sense (microporous, mesoporous, and macroporous including silicates, metal oxides, zeolites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), etc.) and both fully experimental and theoretical aspects of Materials Science related to porous materials.

As all of the articles published in our journal are in an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read our selected papers published in 2024, listed below.
