Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, chemical thermodynamics, as a core discipline that connects macroscopic phenomena with microscopic mechanisms, has made breakthroughs in terms of theoretical innovation and experimental techniques. This Special Issue focuses on theoretical innovation and novel experimental methods in this field. Theoretical advancements include new methods of modeling complex fluids, phase equilibrium, and electrochemical systems, such as the use of machine learning and molecular simulation to enhance prediction accuracy, while experimental innovations mainly focus on advanced characterization techniques such as thermal and spectral methods, non-isothermal kinetic methods, multi-scale simulation techniques, and breakthrough technologies such as the combination of molecular simulation and thermodynamic models. This Special Issue aims to gather research from scholars around the world to provide readers with a panoramic perspective of advances in this field, from fundamental principles to innovative experimental methods; in addition, it aims to stimulate interdisciplinary thinking and contribute to the sustainable development of the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering.

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-anonymized 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.
