Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research and development of water treatment and desalination technology is important to solve the problem of water shortage. The path to a sustainable and cleaner strategy depends on the development and application of high-efficiency, low-footprint, low-cost materials and methods. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive review and research in the following areas: energy storage and conversion, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and bioengineering.
This Special Issue of Separations seeks to cover the latest developments in energy storage and green separation technologies. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New urban, agricultural, and industrial water and wastewater treatment technologies;
- Water treatment and desalination technology;
- Novel energy storage technology;
- Life cycle evaluation, energy consumption, and comprehensive evaluation of green separation strategy;
- Innovative materials for green separation technology;
- Challenges and bottlenecks in the development of green separation technology;
- Current developments, challenges, and prospects in novel energy storage 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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
