Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, membrane separation technology has been widely applied in separation applications (e.g., liquid separation, gas separation, ion/molecule separation and chiral resolution) for purification, resource recovery, zero emissions, energy and environmental protection. Benefiting from the unique nanopores and tunable structure, metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes are promising to break the permeability–selectivity trade-off effect and control membrane fouling. Therefore, it is urgent to develop next-generation MOF membranes and unveil the mechanism for different separation processes.
The Special Issue, entitled “Recent Advances of Metal–Organic Framework Membranes for Separation Process”, will showcase the latest advances in metal–organic framework membranes in separation applications. For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Metal–organic framework membrane materials for separation;
- Metal–organic framework membrane processes for separation;
- Metal–organic framework membranes for liquid separation;
- Metal–organic framework membranes for gas separation;
- Metal–organic framework membranes for ion/molecule separation;
- Metal–organic framework membranes for water purification and wastewater treatment;
- Metal–organic framework catalytic membranes for enhanced separation and fouling control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
