Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the cutting-edge advancements in the design, fabrication, and applications of nanomembrane materials. It aims to capture the latest breakthroughs in tailoring nanoscale membranes with controlled pore size, surface chemistry, and architecture for diverse applications.
We invite contributions exploring novel synthesis strategies, including, but not limited to, atomic layer deposition, interfacial polymerization, and self-assembly, for creating nanomembranes from polymers, ceramics, metals, and 2D materials. This Special Issue will cover advanced characterization techniques, such as electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and spectroscopy, to elucidate the structure–property relationships of these materials. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the transport mechanisms of various species through nanomembranes, including gases, liquids, ions, and biomolecules. Contributions showcasing the application of nanomembranes in fields such as water purification, gas separation, energy storage and conversion, biomedical devices, and catalysis are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their latest findings and inspire future directions in the rapidly evolving field of nanomembrane 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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
