Role of Membranes in Electrochemical Approaches: Toward Economy Decarbonization

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your scientific research to the Special Issue of Membranes entitled “Role of Membranes in Electrochemical Approaches: Toward Economy Decarbonization”. This Special Issue covers a set of cutting-edge research topics related to the employ of membranes for diverse electrochemical applications, emphasizing recent advances related to the current state of the art, and their implementation toward the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (e.g.,  SDG number 6, 7, 11, 13, and 14, among others) and the ambitious objectives proposed in the recent 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26). 

The purpose of this Special Issue is therefore to gather medium-sized review papers or original research articles featuring relevant and recent developments or achievements in membranes and their use in different electrochemical fields. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the use/development of commercial, novel, composite, or hollow fiber membrane materials in different applications, such as wastewater treatment, water desalination, energy generation, gas separation, CO₂ capture and utilization, hydrogen, and particularly renewable sources of energy, among others, including technoeconomic analyses of membranes. Thus, original review papers and research articles are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Kind regards,
Dr. Guillermo Díaz-Sainz

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.
