Electrochemical Membranes: Materials, Characterization, Testing, and Cleaning

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the utmost importance of developing and implementing appropriate ion-exchange membranes for electro-membrane processes, we are pleased to invite you to submit your contributions to the Special Issue entitled “Electrochemical Membranes: Materials, Characterization, Testing, and Cleaning” of the journal Membranes. This Special Issue covers the recent state of the art on membranes’ characteristics for electrochemical applications, including their synthesis, characterization, testing, and cleaning, among others.

This Special Issue aims to publish medium-sized review papers and original research articles related to novel developments or achievements in electrochemical membranes for various applications. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: membrane materials with a focus on green polymers, membrane preparation procedures, membrane characterization, membrane testing, fouling analyses, and membrane cleaning after use in electro-membrane processes such as Donnan dialysis, electrodialysis, reverse electrodialysis, capacitive deionization, fuel cells, energy generation, etc.  

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 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.
