Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing global demand for clean energy and environmental protection has accelerated the development of membrane-based gas separation technologies. This Special Issue, “Recent Developments in Membrane Technologies for Efficient Gas Separation: Innovations and Applications”, will highlight recent breakthroughs in the study of membrane materials, fabrication methods, and separation mechanisms that improve permeability, selectivity, and stability in gas separation applications. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to) novel polymeric and inorganic membranes, mixed-matrix and hybrid systems, facilitated transport membranes, and membranes for specific separation procedures such as CO₂ capture, H₂ purification, olefin/paraffin separation, and air separation.
We invite researchers, engineers, and industrial practitioners to share their latest experimental findings and theoretical research results via contributing to 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 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. Membranes 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 2200 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.
