Special Issue Information
Nanoporous materials synthesized by dealloying continue to gain enormous research interest due to their outstanding physical properties covering the broad application spectrum, including energy storage, catalysis, sensing, actuation, etc., to list a few. This becomes possible due to several factors, particularly the improved analytical capabilities as well as development of novel synthesis methods, such as liquid metal dealloying and vapor dealloying. The improved analytical capabilities play a crucial role because nanoporous materials are a three-dimensional structure of randomly interpenetrating ligaments/nanopores with typical sizes from a few nm to several tenth of microns. Novel dealloying methods broaden the spectrum of nanoporous materials toward more reactive, such as magnesium, and more compositionally complex materials, such as high-entropy alloys.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in nanoporous materials from theoretical insights to experimental aspects covering design, synthesis, processing, and application. We welcome contributions from experimentalists, theorists, and computational scientists in this research field.

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.
