Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global water quality challenges intensify, the need for advanced treatment processes capable of efficiently removing a wide range of contaminants has never been more critical. Electrochemical membranes and electrified membrane-based models have gained widespread attention for their ability to effectively remove contaminants from water sources while maintaining energy efficiency and scalability. In response to this growing interest, the following Special Issue invites contributions focused on the development, characterization, and application of electrochemical membranes for the removal of micropollutants from water.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, short communications, and perspectives that explore various aspects of this field, including but not limited to the integration of novel materials into electrochemical membranes, the mechanisms underlying micropollutant degradation, energy efficiency, scalability, membrane longevity, the design and optimization of electrochemical treatment modules, and the environmental impact of these technologies. Studies addressing challenges such as mass transport limitations, fouling resistance, and the economic feasibility of electrochemical membrane systems are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current advancements and emerging trends in the field, offering valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers dedicated to developing sustainable water treatment solutions.

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.
