Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mesoporous materials, which are characterized by well-ordered pores with diameters typically between 2 and 50 nm, have garnered significant attention in diverse research areas. In catalysis, their well-ordered pores and tunable structures enhance surface areas, amplifying catalytic activity, and thus they have found application as efficient catalyst supports. These materials play a pivotal role in drug delivery systems, leveraging controlled release mechanisms through tailored pore sizes to enhance bioavailability and minimize the side effects of therapeutic agents. Moreover, in the realm of energy storage, mesoporous materials serve as exceptional electrodes in batteries and supercapacitors, showcasing heightened ion transport and storage capacities due to their extensive surface area and interconnected porosity. Beyond these core areas, mesoporous materials contribute to advances in nanotechnology, environmental remediation, and sensor development. Their utility extends to applications in gas storage and separation, nanomedicine for tissue engineering, and nano-optics for optical component fabrication. Furthermore, mesoporous materials are instrumental in high-performance coatings, conferring on various surfaces specific surface properties and durability.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
