Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured materials, particularly two-dimensional (2D) materials, have emerged as outstanding materials for environmental remediation in the field of membrane separation technology. With its peculiar characteristics such as a high surface area, active functional groups, hydrophilicity, and ease of functionalization, the membrane incorporated with 2D materials can achieve selectivity and efficient reduction capabilities for a variety of pollutants in water. Several two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene oxide, MXene, molybdenum disulfide, carbon nitride, and others, have demonstrated the promising potential for developing ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and forward osmosis membranes in recent years. Hence, this Special Issue focuses on the role, recent advances, and developments in novel membrane materials containing two-dimensional (2D) materials for desalination and wastewater treatment. This Special Issue will focus on a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
- Membranes based on graphene, MXene, and related materials.
- Two-dimensional membranes/materials for environmental remediation.
- Membrane/2D materials: transport theory and mechanism.
- 2D-material-based advanced membrane applications.
- Membrane/2D materials with high antifouling and antibiofouling performance.
- Performance-improvement strategies for membrane/2D materials in desalination and wastewater treatment.
This Special Issue invites authors to submit original research articles and reviews related to this topic.

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.
