Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane-based separations are energy efficient compared with conventional thermal-driven separation processes such as distillation, evaporation, and adsorption. Advances in membrane materials are key to synthetic membranes for next-generation energy-efficient separations. Organic frameworks represent an important class of nanoporous materials that contain molecular-sieving pores and cavities. Advanced membranes made from organic framework materials hold great promise for precise ion/molecular separation applications, including gas separation, nanofiltration, desalination, and ion separation. This Special Issue is collecting all recent advances in the rational design and structural tailoring of organic framework-based membranes, as well as their potential applications for energy, water, and the environment. This Special Issue will offer an overview of the status of organic framework-based membranes, and provide future directions toward synthetic membranes. Articles, reviews, and perspectives articles are welcome.

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.
