Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoporous metallic materials (Au, Pd, Cu, Sn, Bi, etc.) have been successfully applied in many fields, such as catalysis, actuation, sensor, energy storage and conversion, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering, due to their high specific surface area, unique bicontinuous structure, tunable ligament/pore size, good conductivity, etc. More and more techniques, including dealloying, templating and electrochemical synthesis, have been used to synthesize nanoporous metals. In addition, a growing number of technologies are combining (for instance, 3D printing combined with dealloying and templating combined with selective corrosion) to design and fabricate new porous structures that exhibit excellent physical and chemical properties.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances of nanoporous metallic materials by different methods from fundamental studies to various applications. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, structural design of nanoporous metals, novel preparation methods, characterization of nanoporous structures, calculation and simulation toward nanoporous metals and different reaction processes, and applications of nanoporous metallic materials in various fields. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Original research papers and review articles are all 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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
