Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your recent studies to a Special Issue of Materials entitled “Advanced Porous Adsorption Materials: Experiments, Adsorption Mechanisms and Applications”.
Advanced porous adsorption materials include inorganic materials (zeolites, molecular sieves, and metal oxides), carbon materials (activated carbon, activated carbon fibers, carbon molecular sieves, nanoporous spherical carbons, and mesoporous ordered carbons), hybrid and polymeric materials (MOFs, COFs, and porous polymers), numerous composite materials, and other materials (aerogels, porous silicas, and carbon membranes). These materials form the foundation of modern technologies for the purification, separation, and storage of substances. Due to their large specific surface area and controlled pore size, they have the ability to selectively adsorb many chemicals, such as greenhouse gases, toxins, and organic vapors. From a practical perspective, determining the adsorption mechanism in specific experimental systems is crucial. This allows for the optimization of material design, the understanding of adsorption isotherms, the modeling of industrial processes, the scaling up of technology, and the assessment of their durability and safety during use. Previous analysis of their physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms in relation to their microporous structure and intermolecular interactions has demonstrated significant potential for the application of advanced porous adsorption materials in catalysis, medicine, environmental protection, agriculture, and clean energy technology. Current data indicate the potential for the further development of such adsorbents tailored to specific industrial and environmental needs.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest literature on advanced porous adsorption materials, including studies on related experiments, their adsorption mechanisms, and their applications. Original research articles, review articles, and short communications describing the current research directions and future prospects in the area of advanced porous adsorption materials are welcome.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
