Following the exciting success of our themed collection on Emerging Trends in MOFs, ChemComm is pleased to launch a new themed collection on Emerging Trends in Advanced Functional Porous Materials, by the same Guest Editors Jing Li (Rutgers University, USA), Ilich A. Ibarra (UNAM, Mexico) and Sujit K. Ghosh (IISER Pune, India).
We now welcome submissions to this exciting collection that aims to highlight the convergence of fundamental research and practical innovation, focusing on sustainable solutions, which position advanced functional porous materials as pivotal contributors to a sustainable and technologically advanced future.
About the collection: The development of various innovative functional materials has improved many facets of our everyday lives by driving scientific research and technological progress. Amongst myriad of materials, recent advancements on various functional porous materials emphasize precision engineering of pore structures, enabling tunable properties for specific applications in energy storage, environmental remediation, catalysis, and biomedical systems. The integration of cutting-edge techniques, such as machine learning for material discovery and additive manufacturing for customizable architectures, is revolutionizing the field. Additionally, advanced porous materials including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and hybrid nanocomposites are gaining prominence due to their multifunctional capabilities and sustainability potential. The collection would welcome papers from all areas within the scope of this collection.
Open for submissions until 15 Aug 2025
How to submit:
If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly through our online submission system.
