Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasing awareness of the impacts of anthropogenic CO2 emissions has driven the development of CO2 utilization technologies. Membranes play a critical role in carbon capture and conversion processes, especially in technologies like CO2 electrolysis, CO2 separation, and CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR). These membranes are responsible for facilitating selective ion transport, enhancing reaction efficiency, and ensuring the separation of different chemical environments during the conversion of CO2 into valuable products. As foundational components in carbon capture and conversion technologies, membranes directly influence both process efficiency and economic feasibility. Progress in membrane materials, design, and fabrication methods is essential for overcoming current challenges and enabling the large-scale deployment of CO2 utilization systems. This is an interesting area of research, with substantial potential to mitigate CO2 emissions and contribute to the development of a sustainable circular carbon economy.
We are excited to invite you to contribute papers that advance our understanding of membrane structure, performance, processes, and applications in the context of carbon capture and conversion. This Special Issue aims to raise awareness about carbon emissions and the potential for converting CO2 into valuable products. It will also provide valuable insights and suggestions for researchers already working in this field or those considering joining it.
We welcome both original research articles and review papers that address advances in materials, mechanisms, and systems related to membranes used in carbon capture and conversion.
We are looking forward to your contribution to our 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.
