Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inorganic porous membranes have been used commercially for many years for gas separation, membrane reactors, ion exchange channels, purification, and so on. Inorganic membranes in general, such as zeolite MOF, and various ceramic membrane in particular, have the advantages of possessing uniform molecular pores, solvent resistance, and thermal stability. In recent years, applied research based on inorganic porous membranes has been actively conducted.
This Special Issue on “Synthesis and Application of Porous Membranes and Films” of the journal Membranes seeks to present the state-of-the-art research progress in the field by collecting original articles and reviews on various applications of inorganic membranes. The following topics are of interest to this Special Issue:
- Zeolite membranes
- MOF membranes
- Mesoporous membranes
- Ceramic membranes
- Gas separation
- Functional optical membranes
- Ion-conducting membranes
- Sensor applications
