Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search of alternatives to fossil fuels along with the need to reduce CO2 emissions has gained a lot of interest in the last years. In this context, the research on hydrogen production, as a clean fuel, from a renewable source and CO2 capture and conversion to valuable chemicals (methanol. DME, liquid fuels, etc.) has been intensively growing. The use of selective membranes in multifunctional reactors is considered as a valuable way to improve the efficiency and performance of both hydrogen production and purification, and CO2 conversion to valuable chemicals processes.
This special issue aims to gather research work on recent advances in membrane technology and their application in membrane reactors and/or gas purification processes. The main topics addressed in this special issue are:
- Membrane preparation and characterisation
- Membrane reactor technologies applied to H2 production and purification from renewable sources and/or CO2 valorisation,
- Biogas upgrading based on membrane technology.

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.
