Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, entitled "Recent Research in Membrane Technology for Hydrogen Production", aims to explore and showcase the latest advancements, breakthroughs, and innovations in membrane-based technologies related to hydrogen production. It will address an extensive range of topics concerning membrane materials, design, fabrication, and applications specifically tailored to hydrogen generation processes. The scope may include, but is not limited to, the following:
- The application of membrane technology in different hydrogen production processes, such as water splitting, and photoelectrochemical and biohydrogen production;
- Design and synthesis of proton exchange membranes, and their application in microbial fuel cells/electrochemical cells;
- Membrane materials/structures for hydrogen permeation;
- Advances in membrane reactor design for hydrogen production and separation;
- Integration of membrane technology using other hydrogen production methods (water electrolysis, seawater splitting, methane reforming, etc.);
- The development of novel membrane materials for selective hydrogen evolution, such as metal organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, graphene composites, etc;
- Integration of solar membranes in solar cells and reactors;
- Membranes for hydrogen storage;
- Membrane fouling, scaling, and mitigation strategies.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share their recent findings and discoveries in the field of membrane technology for hydrogen production. By collating and disseminating cutting-edge research, the Special Issue aims to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and promote the adoption of membrane-based approaches for sustainable and efficient hydrogen production. Additionally, it may serve as a reference for policymakers and industry stakeholders interested in exploring cleaner and more sustainable hydrogen production methods.

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. 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.
