Catalysts by Metal Organic Frameworks

Dear Colleague,

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a new generation of emerging porous materials, have gained tremendous attention of researchers in many fields, such as chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science, due to their potential widespread applications in advanced technologies. MOFs have been exploited in various areas, including adsorption, gas storage, photocatalysis, catalysis, and drug delivery, owing to their extraordinary properties of high surface area, tunable pore size, high chemical and thermal stabilities, and surface modifications. Several methods have been reported that explore new alternative synthesis techniques of MOFs with the aim of developing new synthesis routes that are more environmentally friendly than conventional methods.

This Special Issue aims to report the new green and eco-friendly trends in synthesis of metal organic frameworks and the recent advances in their environmental applications in the areas of photocatalysis and catalysis.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
