Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based membranes have revolutionized membrane separation technologies due to their atomic-layer thickness, tunable mass transport channels, and versatile functionalization capabilities. These unique properties have resulted in significant advancements, enabling exceptional selectivity, permeability, and stability in both gas and liquid separations.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research on graphene-based membranes and their transformative role in separation science and technology. It focuses on innovative design strategies, fabrication techniques, and emerging applications in advanced separation processes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
- Novel preparation methods for graphene-based membranes;
- Applications in gas and liquid separation;
- Mass transport mechanisms and modeling.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to the development and application of graphene-based membranes. Submissions should emphasize innovative approaches, fundamental insights, and practical advancements in separation processes.
Dr. Quan Liu

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.
