Metal-Organic Framework Derivatives: From Porous Architecture Design to High-Performance Gas Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–organic framework (MOF) derivatives—such as metal oxides, sulfides, and selenides, have attracted considerable scientific interest in recent years, owing to their unique morphologies, highly tunable compositions and structures, large specific surface areas, and abundant active sites. These materials not only inherit the structural order and diversity of their MOF precursors, but also exhibit excellent stability and functional properties, demonstrating broad application prospects in areas such as energy storage, heterogeneous catalysis, gas separation, and chemical sensing.

In this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute papers on the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the field, covering rational material design, controlled synthesis methods, performance enhancement strategies, structural regulation mechanisms, and specific applications in cutting-edge fields such as electrocatalysis, batteries, supercapacitors, and medical diagnosis.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
