Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion remains a critical issue in metal-based systems, impacting structural integrity, performance, and longevity across numerous industrial applications. Recent advances in surface science, molecular-level characterization, and electrochemical analysis have deepened our understanding of corrosion initiation and progression. This Special Issue aims to gather contributions that explore the molecular and electrochemical mechanisms underpinning metal corrosion, with emphasis on interfacial processes, passivation, localized corrosion phenomena, and the role of environmental factors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, corrosion inhibition at the molecular level, advanced surface modification strategies, in situ and operando studies, and multi-scale modeling of corrosion behavior. Both experimental and theoretical studies are welcome. By bridging molecular insights with practical corrosion science, this issue seeks to promote innovative approaches toward corrosion prevention and control.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
