Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on green technology to aid in global issues and promote collaborative regional governance is increasingly becoming a social concern, and an important initiative in the quest for sustainable development lies in improving such technology. With the continuous development of nanoscience, the precise regulation and goal-oriented application of functional materials has played an increasingly important role in promoting sustainable development. Therefore, contributions on topics such as green heterogeneous catalysis, environmental chemical engineering, and novel materials for energy storage are welcomed.
Examples of papers can be found at the following link:

Research papers and review papers are welcome. Possible research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experimental and theoretical studies in the fields of green heterogeneous catalysis and molecular catalysis;
- Environmental chemical and process engineering, including pollution control and separation processes;
- Structure and performance relationships for advanced functional materials;
- Novel materials for energy storage and conversion and advanced applications;
- Other technologies related to advanced functional materials for sustainability.

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.
