Membrane Materials for Gas Separation

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to submit your original work or review article to this Special Issue, “Membrane Materials for Gas Separation”. Membrane-based separation processes have progressively become important technology for industrial separations due to their low energy consumption, easy operation, and small footprint. Relevant applications, such as CO₂ capture, oxygen enrichment, hydrogen purification, biogas upgrading, natural gas processing, and olefin/paraffin separations are currently using membrane-based technology. Nevertheless, there are still a significant improvements to be made in the process, ranging from the creation of new materials to the final testing of the processed membrane under real conditions.

This Issue is dedicated to advances in separation mechanisms, separation performance, material selection, material processing, modelling, operational stability, and up-scaling. Topics of interest include new inorganic, metallic, or polymeric membrane materials, membrane characterization, new separation processes, ageing studies, thin film formation and characterization, modelling of the performances, plasticization, contaminant effects, and the behavior of the materials under real process conditions.

We are looking forward to receiving your outstanding work for this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials 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 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.
