Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intercalation compounds continue to attract considerable attention across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, including catalysis, photophysical processes, electronics, energy storage, drug delivery, biomaterials, coatings, polymer fillers, and water remediation. Their remarkable versatility arises from the wide variety of layered host materials—such as graphite, transition metal dichalcogenides, layered silicates, smectite clays, layered phosphates, phosphonates, perovskite-type materials, and layered double hydroxides—which can accommodate diverse guest species including bioactive molecules, metal complexes, and metal nanoparticles.
This Special Issue should serve researchers who want to keep up with the latest developments in the field of intercalation chemistry. This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of all types of intercalation compounds. The submissions of review articles written by experts in this field will also be appreciated.

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.
