Ionic Liquids for Chemical and Biochemical Applications II
Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Ionic liquids are ionic, nonvolatile alternatives to conventional volatile molecular solvents and have recently received impressive attention in many aspects of chemical, electrochemical, and biochemical applications.
This year, the journal Molecules is to publish the second edition of a Special Issue with a collection of papers featuring selected contributions from Ionic Liquids for Chemical and Biochemical Applications II. As guest editors of this Special Issue, we are writing to invite you to contribute a research paper, rapid communication, or review article on your latest research activities in ionic liquids.
This Special Issue will be a collection of papers focusing on ionic liquids as smart materials for electrocatalytic as well as electrochemical analysis, and ionic liquid devices for affinity extraction and analysis. We anticipate that this issue will be attractive to the scientific community of synthesis, materials, and separation, and we invite contributions covering the aspects broadly indicated by the keywords. Reviews articles by experts are also welcomed.

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.
