Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass-derived materials have been recently paid much more attention in environmental applications for their advantages of high efficiency, wide sources, low price, non-toxicity, and biodegradation. After suitable modification, they can be used as various kinds of functional materials such as adsorbents, coagulants, flocculants, scale inhibitors, membrane, and so on. Recent advances in preparation and application technologies of novel, high-efficiency, and low-cost biomass-derived materials including their mechanisms in environmental applications provide potential in long-term and large scale applications. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing development in biomass-based materials in various aspects in environmental applications. We are particularly interested in articles describing novel synthesis methods, new application technologies in environmental remediation, the mechanisms and principle of biomass-based materials in environmental applications.

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. 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.
