Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge developments in Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)-based nanocomposites, particularly highlighting their applications in photo-electrocatalysis and biosensing. MOFs are renowned for their exceptional porosity and structural adaptability, which are pivotal in enhancing the ability of photo-electrocatalytic systems to perform efficient energy conversion, including hydrogen production and CO2 reduction. Their unique characteristics also significantly enhance biosensing technologies, enabling the sensitive and selective detection of biological markers.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of novel synthesis techniques, the physicochemical properties of MOF-based nanocomposites, and their integration with other nanomaterials in order advance functional boundaries. Contributions will focus on the revolutionary impacts of these composites in energy conversion processes such as water splitting and CO2 reduction, and in developing rapid, precise biosensors for the monitoring of health and the environment. We welcome the submission of original research, reviews, and case studies that explore these dynamic applications, in order to promote the further innovation and industrial application of MOF 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. 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 2100 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.
