Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green chemistry is incessantly changing and evolving, and the importance of its findings is becoming crucial in the aspects of global discussions on sustainability.
Green chemistry involves many fields. Some of the most important, both from a scientific and industrial point of view, are materials, electrochemistry, catalysis, agrochemistry, and ionic liquids. Considering the environmental pollution of, for example, many types of plastics, design and research towards new environmentally friendly materials are crucial to avoid further water and soil devastation. Another environmental problem is out-of-date energy storage devices, which can cause severe environmental damage through heavy metals pollution. Development in electrochemistry can bring convenient solutions for this problem through the design of modern sustainable devices. Another significant environmental problem is industrial waste production, which can be stopped or significantly reduced by using proper catalytic processes, especially with the utilization of natural resources and/or reusable catalysts. Agrochemistry is not less important since designing modern solutions in this area provides a higher yield of crops with simultaneous sustainability. Often, ionic liquids are sought as a common denominator in research to solve the problems mentioned above. Ionic liquids are mostly known for their unique and specific tuneable properties that allow them to solve industrial problems while complying with Green Chemistry rules.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances and trends in research based on green chemistry and is directly related to the Third Advances in Green Chemistry conference, which will be held in Poznan, Poland (26–30.09.2022). It is mainly intended for conference participants, but I encourage everyone to contribute their research to this Special Issue.

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. 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.
