Advanced Molecular Sieve Membranes for Gas Separation

Dear Colleagues,

In the ever-evolving realm of materials science and chemical engineering, the advancement of efficient gas separation technologies holds critical significance. New classes of molecular sieve membranes (such as MOFs, COFs, and zeolites) and hybrid or composite membranes (such as mixed-matrix membranes and ceramic membranes) are transformative, facilitating the precise separation of gas mixtures based on molecular size, shape, and chemical affinity. This Special Issue, “Advanced Molecular Sieve Membranes for Gas Separation”, is designed to showcase the latest breakthroughs and forefront research in this field. It encompasses a broad spectrum of studies, including a focus on the synthesis and characterization of innovative composite materials, the development of advanced membrane fabrication techniques, and the exploration of novel applications. Key research areas within this Special Issue include advanced synthesis methods, membrane modification, performance optimization, and industrial applications, among others. It aims to serve as a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings, and by aggregating global contributions, it seeks to foster innovation, propel research, and expedite the development and commercialization of high-performance membranes. This Special Issue hopes to deepen our understanding of molecular sieve membranes and composite membranes and lay the groundwork for more sustainable and efficient gas separation processes.

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. 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 2200 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.
