Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Society faces an increasing demand for energy and resources but urges more sustainable supply chains. In this sense, ion exchange membranes ally to a wide range of cleaner technologies and applications towards a fair green development.
Membranes is launching a Special Issue aiming at gathering relevant research on the latest developments and future perspectives of ion exchange membranes including: structure, transport properties, electrochemical characterization and application towards the global challenges of our modern society.
Recognizing the promising role of ion exchange membranes on energy and environment-related matters, this issue welcomes theoretical and experimental research and reviews within the following topics:
- Synthesis, modification and characterization of ion exchange membranes (cation exchange, anion exchange, proton exchange, bipolar membranes, etc.) with enhanced properties.
- Application of ion exchange membranes for sustainable energy conversion (energy conversion and storage systems, reverse electrodialysis, etc.)
- Integrated and advanced applications of membrane systems (ion-exchange membranes coupled with filtration membranes, bioreactors, electro-electrodialysis, pulsed electric field, overlimiting regimes, capacitive electrodialysis, etc.).
- Resource recovery and valorization (recovery of value-added substances from waste or industrial streams, drinking water supply, treatment of municipal sewage, etc.).
- Selective ion-exchange membranes and their applications.
- Prevention and mitigation of fouling

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.
