Investigation of Structure and Properties of Porous Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials possess a significant specific surface area, a well-defined pore structure, adjustable active sites, and functional components. They play crucial roles in various industries such as petrochemicals, catalysts, adsorption separators, and ion exchange materials. In recent years, porous functional materials have also demonstrated significant potential in sustainable development areas such as renewable energy generation and environmental governance. Based on this, this Special Issue focuses on the investigation of the structure and properties for porous materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) Nanoarchitecture design of nanoporous materials.

(ii) Deepening the investigation of their structure–composition–property relationships.

(iii) Exploring their applications in various fields, encompassing batteries, catalysis, water treatment, sensing and energy storage, and photonic devices.

We are inviting you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials 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 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.
