Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in MOF (Metal Organic Framework) and MOF-based membranes have created unique opportunities in the areas of adsorption, separation, sequestration, catalysis, energy storage, carbon capture, clean energy technology and conversion, sensing, etc.
The objective of this Special Issue is to publish in the area of simulation, design (2D and 3D), materials chemistry, synthesis, processing, characterization and performance testing of organic and inorganic MOF, MOF-based fibers, membranes and thin films in lab scale and large scale. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, novel micro scale and nanoscale MOF and its flexible fiber and membrane, MOF based composite membranes, thin films, novel chemical and engineering processes or hybrid processes based on membranes, computational simulation of advanced membrane materials, analysis of MOF materials chemistry, physical properties, development of characterization and testing methods and tools, scale up issues and manufacturing technology, membrane aging, etc.
Authors are, therefore, cordially invited to submit their exciting works and research findings in the form of original research papers, technical communications and review articles for Membranes. Membranes is indexed by EI, Scopus, PubMed, and ESCI and receives a high visibility for published papers. It is fully open access. Readers can access its published papers freely and easily. We are committed to maintaining a high quality and make a positive impact in the scientific community.

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.
