Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial evolution is an integral part of human endeavours which renovate the agriculture and handicrafts-based economy into the large-scale industry, mechanized manufacturing, and the factory system. However, the limited resources and effects on the environment make it difficult for industries to maintain the rapid growth of the economy. Inorganic complexes and advanced materials are a diverse class of materials with myriad properties that can play a critical role in addressing this issue by the development of products and processes that are environmentally benign but economically viable.
“Sustainability and inorganic chemistry” present a themed Special Issue which focuses on recent new developments and smart application of inorganic/organometallic and organic molecules in industrial application. This Special Issue will include not only greener synthesis, bio-mimicking catalysis, sustainable synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, sustainable nanomaterials, metal–organic frameworks, quantum dots, renewable and clean fuels, biomass/wastes conversion/transformation water treatment, resource extraction and isolation, renewable energy, catalytic processes, and renewable industrial feedstocks to address industrial issues but also new optical, mechanical, and electrical innovations for smarter applications of inorganic materials in industries.
Researchers all over the world are constantly trying a lot of greener/cleaner methods to realize/reach a similar performance. With the above-proposed scopes, we are trying to accommodate novel and emerging concepts, methodologies, and innovations which will be interesting and beneficial for the related community.

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. Sustainability 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
