Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a permanent part of technologies that are useful to humans. The crystalline structures in which metal ions are coordinated as nodes with organic ligands as linkers are used in separation, catalysis, photocatalysis, and biodetection, among other things. MOFs are being increasingly used to capture greenhouse gases (GHGs) via physical adsorption. The efficient sorption of hydrocarbons with MOF adsorbents is also one of the most desired methods for energy storage. The continuous development of metal–organic frameworks and the synthesis of new materials of this type make it possible to continuously increase the efficiency of their use in environmental applications. Original scientific articles and review articles are 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 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.
