Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion-exchange membranes (IEMs), typically referring to polymeric materials tethered with charged moieties, play significant roles in a wide range of fields of energy and environment, for instance, fuel cells, flow batteries, electrodialysis, and diffusion dialysis. The limited choice of commercially available IEMs has motivated extensive research interest involving novel synthetic strategies, valid characterization techniques, as well as promising applications. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to pool the wisdom of the masses, to advance this field with a focus on the aspects of mild, cost-effective preparation, profound understanding in ionic transportation mechanisms, and suitable overall performance, to promote rapid development in the related fields. 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 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.
