Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue is the sequel to a previous Special Issue entitled ”Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications” https://www.mdpi.com/journal/membranes/special_issues/93E657DJ56.
We are pleased to invite you to this Special Issue, “Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications”, to promote membrane technologies based on a variety of inorganic materials. Energy and environmental issues have been recognized as significant challenges for sustainable development, and inorganic membranes offer great opportunities for efficiently addressing related problems in the field, particularly for applications under harsh conditions. This Special Issue aims to report recent advances in inorganic membranes for energy and environmental applications, covering both fundamental and industrial perspectives. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Membrane preparation (zeolite, silica, carbon, metallic, metal oxide, etc.);
- Membrane applications (gas separation, liquid separation, ion separation, fuel cells, chemical production, etc.);
- Membrane process development;
- Modeling and simulation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
