Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous materials have particular advantages in fabricating highly active catalysts in various catalysis research fields due to their large specific surface area, chemical mutability, and exceptional and unique structural features. In recent years, rapid progress has been made by researchers in the design, synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of nanostructured porous materials. Various nanostructured porous materials have been prepared and used as catalysts. Examples of porous materials include, but are not limited to, metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous organic polymers, and inorganic porous materials. Porous materials have been applied in a variety of catalytic reactions, especially heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers focused on recent advances in the design, synthesis, and functionalization of porous materials for various catalytic applications, ranging from organic reactions to electrocatalysis and photocatalysis. It focuses on the progress of nanostructured porous materials with high catalytic activity in organic transformations, the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, environmental remediation, and energy applications that manifest high activity, selectivity, and durability. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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 2900 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.
