Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Highly energetic material is a material that can react quickly and release heat energy under the stimulation of a small amount of external energy. Some reactions are accompanied by loud pop** sounds and bright flames. In particular, due to the small size, high activity, and large contact area, nano-sized highly energetic materials have certain surface, volume, and quantum size effects, which have received more research attention. Because of their outstanding heat release ability, energetic materials have been widely used in igniters, thrusters, detonators, sensors, welding repairs, binders, and many other fields.
Although some breakthrough research has been carried out on designing novel structures or exploring promising technologies to improve the heat release properties of highly energetic materials, there is a time lag and certain gap between theoretical research and practical applications, leading to huge research space. Any novelty and promising breakthroughs are encouraged to be submitted to this research topic. This Special Issue aims to gather the latest results in simulation, synthesis, advanced characterization, and potential applications of highly energetic materials.
This section aims to host significant advances in the aforementioned areas, including, but not limited to:
- Metastable intermolecular composites (MIC);
- Propellants;
- Explosives;
- Other novel, highly energetic materials with different structures (e.g., layered structure, core–shell structure, porous structure, etc.);
- Exploration of preparation technology or characterization technique;
- Theoretical analysis and related simulation research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
