Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are fascinating materials composed of inorganic metal ions and organic poly-topic complex linkers, which are linked together by strong coordination bonds. These highly porous and crystalline materials possess various functionalities. By employing heteroepitaxy via layer-by-layer procedures, different types of hetero-MOFs can be integrated with several functionalities, making them suitable for various applications.
This Special Issue invites contributions that focus on the diverse applications of MOFs, including gas sensing and water treatment. We welcome both experimental and computational contributions in the broad field of pure and/or hybrid SURMOFs and MOF-based membranes.

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 2700 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.
