Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention in a range of applications including gas storage, separation, chemical sensing and catalysis during the past two decades due to their structural tunability, regular porosity, and ultrahigh specific surface area. The interconnected pore structure and periodic intra-framework chemical functionality of MOFs render such materials attractive candidates for electrochemical applications. As the chemical stability of MOFs has been progressively improved in recent years, the charge transport in MOFs under electrochemical conditions and the feasibility of utilizing MOFs for various electrochemical applications have been widely studied, and the design of electrically conductive MOFs is of rapidly growing interest to scientists pursuing electrochemical applications of highly porous materials. These exciting developments have motivated this Special Issue.
The Special Issue on “Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) toward Electrochemical Applications” welcomes manuscripts revealing novel designs of MOFs or MOF-based composite materials for any electrochemical application. Both Articles and Reviews are welcome. Topics may cover, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- MOFs for electrocatalysis
- MOFs for electrochemical sensors
- MOFs toward energy storage devices
- MOF-based composite materials for electrochemical applications
- The design of MOFs that enables facile charge transport toward electrochemical applications
- The design of MOF-derived electrochemically active 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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
