Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous carbon materials, with their unique porous structures and excellent chemical stability, have shown great potential in the field of gas adsorption and capture. These materials play a significant role in environmental management, energy storage, and catalysis. By employing various synthesis methods and post-treatment techniques, the pore characteristics of porous carbon can be optimized to enhance their adsorption capacity and selectivity for specific gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). We warmly invite you to submit your research and review papers on the topic of porous carbon materials in the field of gas adsorption and capture. We are particularly interested in themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- The synthesis and functionalization of porous carbon materials;
- The impact of pore structure on adsorption performance;
- Carbon dioxide capture technologies and their industrial applications;
- Applications of porous carbon materials in environmental management and catalysis;
- Studies on adsorption mechanisms and kinetics;
- Sustainability and recycling of porous carbon materials.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
