Porous Materials: Synthetic Strategies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials possess cavities, channels, or interstices, into which guest molecules can be selectively adsorbed, transiently stored, and chemically transformed. Numerous porous materials have been developed and investigated, such as zeolites, metal–organic frameworks, carbon-based materials, polymer-based materials, and inorganic–organic hybrids, exhibiting distinct advantages in a vast number of fields, including the chemical industry, energy, and environmental protection.

This Special Issue, entitled "Porous Material Synthetic Strategies and Applications", aims to provide updates on recent advances in the synthesis methods, characterization, performance, and applications of porous materials. Submissions to this Special Issue are welcome in the form of original research papers or short reviews, and contributions are expected to include the function-led design, controlled fabrication methods, novel structural analyses, and novel applications of porous materials.

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.
