Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation has proven to provide an efficient solution to energy and environmental-related challenges due to its low energy consumption, ease of operation, and reduced secondary pollution. The development of membranes with special nanostructures showing outstanding chemical/mechanical properties and superior separation characteristics is crucial for an energy-efficient separation process. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to identify concepts or strategies in nature for the design of energy-efficient separation membranes. This Special Issue of Membranes attempts to collect the latest innovations in the preparation and characterization of energy-efficient separation membranes, advanced membrane separation processes, and modeling of the behavior of energy-efficient separation membranes. We encourage authors, especially those from leading laboratories and institutes, to submit their latest results. Submissions of high-quality research in the scaling up of energy-efficient membrane production are also welcomed.

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.
