Oxygen Transport Membranes: Synthesis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Mixed ionic–electronic conducting (MIEC) oxygen transport materials have attracted considerable attention from the scientific community, both from academia and industry, because of their various possible applications as catalysts, as a cathode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as an electrolyte membrane for Li-ion batteries, and as separation membranes in membrane reactors. With recent studies and technological advances, oxygen transport membrane-based separation processes represent an alternative path for many traditionally challenging and energy-intense separation processes.

This Special Issue of the journal Membranes on “Oxygen Transport Membranes: Synthesis and Applications” seeks contributions to assess the latest developments and future perspectives of various oxygen transport membrane-based applications. Topics include but are not limited to novel membrane material development, module and reactor design, fabrication techniques, membrane catalysis, characterization, modeling of membrane transport phenomena, industrial exploitation, and new applications. Both reviews and original articles are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your work for this Special Issue.

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.
