Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adsorption, adsorbents and nanomaterials are significant in many areas, including chemistry and catalysis, environmental protection, separation technology, medicine, biochemistry, electrochemistry, and analytical chemistry. Adsorption as a phenomenon and adsorbents as a heterogeneous group of materials, which exhibit adsorption properties due to their developed surface area and/or porous structure, are also interconnected with nanomaterials. On the one hand, nanomaterials can be used as adsorbents. On the other hand, adsorption methods are widely used to characterise nanomaterials, and adsorption is important in some of their applications. Developing these and related areas is possible through insight and understanding at the molecular level, at which adsorption occurs. Molecular mechanisms are the basis of methods for synthesising adsorbents and nanomaterials or their applications. Therefore, the Special Issue is focused on all the molecular aspects of adsorption, adsorbents and nanomaterials and their applications.
This Special Issue welcomes original papers and reviews on all aspects of adsorption, adsorbents and/or nanomaterials as well as their mechanisms, with particular emphasis on insight at the molecular level. Papers focusing on fundamental aspects and those aimed at practical applications are both welcome. Researchers working on such issues are encouraged to submit their results to this Special Issue, regardless of whether they are obtained using experimental or theoretical methods or a combination of both approaches.

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.

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.
