Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes, as a type of carbon-based membrane materials, are fabricated from the pyrolysis and carbonization of polymeric precursors under controlled conditions. CMS membranes, compared to polymeric membranes, exhibit higher thermal and chemical stabilities and better plasticization resistance. CMS membranes also exhibit excellent gas separation performance when it comes to separating CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, O2/N2, H2/CH4, H2/N2, C2H4/C2H6, and C3H6/C3H8 gas pairs, which can exceed the Robeson upper bounds of polymeric membranes that plot a trade-off relationship between gas permeability and selectivity. CMS membranes are considered the next-generation molecularly selective synthetic membranes.
Therefore, this Special Issue invites the submission of works related to carbon materials with high gas separation performance and their applications in many fields. Review articles by experts in the field will also be welcome.

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.
