Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design of adsorbent materials focuses on core elements, including specific surface area, hierarchical pore structure, surface functional groups and interfacial charge characteristics. By precisely controlling material morphology, pore size distribution and surface functionalization modifications, highly active and selective adsorption sites can be strategically constructed to enhance adsorption capacity, reaction rates and interference resistance. The mechanism of molecular interface interaction is the key factor determining the adsorption performance, including electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, π-π conjugation and coordination bonding. At the interface, surface active sites on the material interact specifically with target molecules to achieve rapid capture and stable binding. Integrating experimental characterization with theoretical calculations enables a clear understanding of interfacial interaction effects, providing theoretical foundations for the rational design of high-efficiency adsorbents.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to focus on studies about the rational design of adsorption materials and the mechanism of molecular interface interaction. We are pleased to invite you to contribute related original articles or reviews.

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.
