Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are composed of organic ligands and metal ions, and have emerged as a new type of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. MOFs have an ultrahigh surface area and various topologies, possessing wide-ranging potential applications including luminescence sensing, biological imaging, gas storage and separation, and electrocatalysis, etc.
This Special Issue aims to provide a broad survey of the most recent advances in MOFs. This Special Issue aims to explore original research articles and reviews that discuss the new structure of MOFs, the excellent properties of MOFs (including gas storage and separation, luminescence sensing, catalysis, electrochemistry, etc.) and the unique synthesis method of MOFs.

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.
