Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is a highly challenging and concerning phenomenon that causes considerable safety issues and economic losses. From today’s perspective, the prevention of metallic corrosion is undoubtedly a very challenging task, considering the vital role of metals and their alloys in several industrial applications. One of the most efficient methods for combating corrosion is the use of corrosion inhibitors, which reduces the rate of corrosion to the desired level with minimum adverse effects on the environment. In the last few decades, several corrosion inhibitors have been synthesized and implemented for the corrosion inhibition of metallic materials. However, growing demands for green chemistry and the restriction of using environmentally hazardous chemicals have endorsed the development of ecofriendly corrosion-inhibitor molecules. In view of this, researchers have recently focused on the design and development of green corrosion inhibitors.
From another perspective, due to the development of efficient hardware and software in the computer-related system, it is now possible to provide an explanation regarding the inhibitive performances of inhibitors from the atomic as well as the molecular level of theory. Density functional theory (DFT), density functional tight binding (DFTB), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation are efficient to establish a relationship between the molecular properties of inhibitors and their corresponding inhibitive performances. To date, a combined experimental and theoretical study provides a detailed insight into the development of efficient and sustainable corrosion inhibitors.
This Special Issue aims to address the recent development of efficient inhibitors in the field of metallic corrosion inhibition, which can offer an open access forum where researchers in the field of chemistry, materials science, and surface engineering can publish their recent developments. Fundamental, interdisciplinary, theoretical, experimental, and applied works are invited for submission.

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.
