Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
- Introduction: Green analytical chemistry has gained increasing importance as a vital field for developing sustainable and environmentally friendly analytical methods. This approach not only helps reduce the consumption of hazardous chemicals and waste generation but also leads to improved safety and efficiency of analytical processes. Given current environmental challenges and the growing need for sustainable development, research in green analytical chemistry plays a key role in achieving sustainable development goals.
- Aim of the Special Issue: This Special Issue aims to compile the latest advancements, innovations, and existing challenges in the field of green analytical chemistry, particularly in the development of new methods, novel materials, and their applications in various fields. This Special Issue intends to serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers, students, and professionals active in this area, and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and innovative ideas. The topics covered in this Special Issue are fully aligned with the scope of Molecules journal, as they focus on the molecular and chemical aspects of green analytical methods. Our goal is to collect at least 10 high-quality articles, which may also be published as a book.
- Suggested themes and article types for submissions: In this Special Issue, original research articles and review articles are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Miniaturized and green extraction techniques;
- Novel materials (e.g., nanomaterials) in green analytical chemistry;
- Green chromatography and mass spectrometry;
- Applications of green analytical chemistry in food and environmental analysis;
- Novel methods in green bioanalytical chemistry;
- Development of analytical methods with lower energy consumption and higher efficiency;
- Modeling and optimization of green analytical processes.

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. 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.
