Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mineral mimetic materials can be defined as artificially created mineral analogs or chemically advanced materials that reproduce the natural processes of ion exchange, ion conductivity, photocatalysis, pseudomorphic replication, etc. The main aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the most recent research on mineral mimetic materials applied in catalysis, sorption, luminescence and bio- and electrochemistry, as well as new prospective microporous material technologies for multi-functional purposes. We are welcoming studies of minerals and their synthetic analogues with unique physical and chemical properties with new application areas including intercalation and adsorption of functional ions into layered minerals. The editorial board of the Special Issue on “Mineral Mimetic Materials” will be grateful to any who submit original studies and state-of-the-art reviews on materials in this field.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Microporous materials;
- Layered and clay materials;
- Ion exchange and sorption;
- Advanced materials; technosoils;
- Mineral mimetic materials;
- Smart fertilizers.

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.
