Metal Organic Framework (MOF)-Based Micro/Nanoscale Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs , also known as porous coordination polymers or PCPs) are formed through the assembly of metal ions or clusters and organic linkers, giving rise to crystalline structures with an open framework and significant porous texture development. The frameworks have excellent designability, regulatability, and modifiability in terms of their composition, topology, pore size, and surface chemistry, thus making them suitable candidates for various applications. Currently, MOFs are still attracting significant interest from researchers across disciplines including chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The outstanding structural diversity and precise controllability of MOF structures have endowed them with incredible fucntions that are able to address many enduring societal challenges pertaining to energy and environmental sustainability.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials focuses on the field of synthesis and the characterization of MOFs and MOF-based micro/nanoscale materials for advanced applications, including, but not limited to, gas storage/capture, chemical sensing, photoelectrocatalysis, pollutant adsorption and degradation, organic transformation, drug delivery, and so on.

I hope that this Special Issue will uncover deep insights into MOF micro/nanoscale materials and enhance communication among scientists around the world. Original research articles, 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 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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
