Functionalized Membranes for Sustainable Water and Energy Production

Dear colleagues，

Membrane technology is known as one of the most efficient separation techniques regarding energy consumption, reliability, and operational safety. Membrane materials, design, structure, and performance can be enhanced through different chemical, physical, and electrical- surface and substrate functionalization approaches to produce functionalized membranes with enhanced permeability, rejection, and antifouling ability.

This Special Issue will highlight the importance of membrane functionalization techniques, functionalizing materials, and the performance of functionalized membranes for sustainable water and energy production. This Special Issue welcomes both original research and reviews related to functionalized membrane fabrication, characterization, and applications mainly for water treatment, desalination, wastewater treatment, perfluorooctanoic acid derivatives removal, oil–water separation, volatile organic compound removal from aqueous or gas streams, CO₂ removal, production, and recovery of high-added products from wastewater.

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.
