Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pore-based structures occur widely in living organisms. In recent years, porous material has gained much attention by mimicking how the biological system responds to the environment. Additionally, there is an urgent need to apply porous material in the energy field as high-performance devices to generate and covert one form of energy into another form. Over the past decade, many porous materials with micro-/nanostructures have been developed to solve long-existing problems in the areas of medical and biotechnology, renewable energy, and human health. To reflect the recent advances of porous material, researchers from different disciplines, such as materials science, analytical chemistry, electrical engineering, and biomedical science, are encouraged to contribute their promising results and thoughtful perspectives to a broader scientific community.
This Special Issue of Micromachines will serve as a collection of all aspects of porous material applied to biological and energy-related fields. You are invited to submit Original papers and Reviews focused on the design, synthesis, fabrication, and practical applications of porous material. The scope covers but is not limited to the following topics: the synthesis of micro-/nanoporous material, the fabrication of pore-based devices, micro-/nanopore sensing, porous energy storage, and conversion devices.
I look forward to receiving your contribution to this Special Issue.
Dr. Kaiyu Fu
Guest Editor
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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
