Metal-Organic Framework-Based Membranes for Applications in Molecular Separation

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous solid materials which have a variety of industrial applications. In recent years, a number of excellent MOF membranes have been successfully prepared and widely used in the fields of separation, catalysis, optics, sensing, and metal protection.

This Special Issue, Metal-Organic Framework-Based Membranes for Applications in Molecular Separation, aims to highlight recent research regarding novel membranes with MOFs, including the preparation and incorporation of MOFs in membranes; fouling control strategies of MOF-integrated membranes; and the characterization of membranes in terms of physio-chemical properties, separation performance, and durability.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: membrane separation; desalination; wastewater treatment; gas separation; gas purification; metal–organic frameworks; anti-fouling; MOF membranes; thin-film nanocomposites; and mixed matrix membranes.

We invite you and your colleagues to submit contributions to this Special Issue, with the aim of bringing together research from experts in the field to discuss recent ideas, research and findings.

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.
