Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Advances in Solid-Liquid Interface Science: From Fundamentals to Applications," seeks to provide a comprehensive exploration of the latest breakthroughs and innovations at solid–liquid interfaces. It will focus on the fundamental mechanisms governing physical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions at these interfaces, with a particular emphasis on new insights into ion adsorption, surface reactivity, and electrochemical behaviour.
Emerging applications of solid–liquid interface science—such as advanced materials for energy storage, environmental remediation, and catalysis—will also be highlighted. Recent advances in nanomaterials, smart coatings, and interface engineering are transforming the way we approach challenges in energy storage devices, water purification, and corrosion control.
The Issue will feature cutting-edge studies that explore novel experimental techniques and theoretical models, shedding light on the critical role that these interfaces play in a wide range of scientific and technological advancements. By gathering top-tier research on interface behaviour, interfacial charge transfer, and surface chemistry, this Special Issue aims to deepen our understanding of solid–liquid interfaces and their critical role in the development of next-generation technologies.

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. Surfaces is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
