Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your research work or review article to this Special Issue of “Membrane Materials for CO2 Capture and Separation.” Climate change caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions is a global challenge that we are all facing. The combustion of fossil fuels produces large amounts of CO2 in the flue gas that is released into the atmosphere. To mitigate the CO2 emissions, CO2 must be captured for utilization or sequestration. Membrane-based separation offers an effective approach for CO2 capture (carbon capture), due to its high energy efficiency, small footprint, and simplicity of operation and maintenance. However, advanced membrane material designs are needed to achieve superior CO2 separation performance and reduce the cost of carbon capture.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish recent advances in novel or emerging materials for membrane-based carbon capture. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, novel membrane materials (polymers, metal–organic frameworks, 2D materials, and mixed matrix materials) for various capture schemes (such as post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, carbon capture from industrial sources, direct air capture, etc.), techno-economic analysis, preparation and characterization of thin-film composite membranes or hollow fiber membranes, etc.
We are looking forward to receiving your outstanding work for this Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Dr. Naiying Du
Prof. Dr. Haiqing Lin

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.
