Advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks-Based Materials: Photocatalytic Properties and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–organic frameworks (MOF), as a class of newly emerged crystalline coordination network built from metal ions and organic bridging ligands, possess abundant unique properties, such as tunable structures, tailorable functionalities, high porosity, large surface areas, intriguing framework architectures, and high chemical/mechanical stability. MOF-based materials have been widely investigated and applied in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, and gas storage and separation. In recent years, MOF-based materials have become a powerful platform to construct efficient photocatalyst systems with diverse and even incompatible functionalities because of their unique excitation and charge transition mechanisms.

This Special Issue intends to present some of the most relevant progress on the design and development of MOF-based materials and their photocatalytic applications. The Special Issue will significantly benefit from the contribution of original research articles and critical review articles in this scientific field.

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.
