Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce the Special Issue "Innovative Research on Corrosion Inhibitors: Bridging Theory and Practice" in Molecules, a peer-reviewed open access journal published by MDPI. This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring both computational and experimental methodologies in the development and performance analysis of corrosion inhibitors.
Corrosion inhibitors are essential for enhancing material longevity and performance in corrosive environments, integrating chemistry, materials science, and engineering to innovate and improve industrial applications. The focus of this Special Issue is to consolidate novel research that employs both computational predictions and empirical data to advance our understanding and effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors.
Call for Contributions
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles or reviews that present significant advancements in corrosion inhibitors through computational simulations, experimental studies, or a combination of both. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel organic/inorganic inhibitors, green inhibitor formulation, ab initio density functional theory (DFT), density-functional-based tight binding (DFTB), surface interaction analyses, and performance evaluations under varied environmental conditions. Papers addressing DFT-calculated global reactivity descriptors and classical molecular dynamics are not covered in this SI.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts must be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging into this site. Once registered, authors can proceed to the submission form. The submission deadline is firmly set, and all manuscripts will undergo a preliminary check followed by a single-blind peer review process to ensure that the highest scholarly standards are maintained. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal and grouped on the Special Issue's dedicated webpage.
Manuscripts should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of conference proceedings papers. Comprehensive submission guidelines and other pertinent information for authors are available on the Instructions for Authors page.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
