Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the adsorption properties of porous materials has been proven to be of great interest for the removal of impurities from both liquid and gas media. Although significant progress has been achieved, some adsorption studies miss out on the opportunity to further advance in generating a better understanding of the adsorption process. This Special Issue on “Porous materials and their adsorption properties” calls for papers where a further goal is met. We are looking for studies that present in-depth results of the adsorption properties of porous materials in both the solid–gas and solid–liquid interfaces, including, but not limited to, the following:
- The properties of the material: the relationship between the crystal structure and the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, surface characterization, correlation between the porosity and the adsorption capacity, influence of the surface acidity, and basicity on the adsorption process
- Analysis of the interactions between the adsorbent and adsorbate molecules: the adsorption mechanism, type of sorption, theoretical modelling, and kinetic and thermodynamic studies.
We looking forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
