Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Functional Materials in Adsorption and Separation," aims to highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis, and application of functional materials for adsorption and separation processes. With growing concerns over environmental pollution and resource recovery, the development of efficient and selective adsorbents and separation materials has become increasingly important. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following: porous materials, nanocomposites, and polymers, with applications in gas separation, water purification, and other newly emerged pollutant removal. We welcome original research articles and reviews that address both fundamental studies and practical applications, providing a platform for researchers to share innovative strategies and solutions in this rapidly evolving field.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Hui Li

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
