Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene-based membranes have attracted considerable attention in the last decade from experimental and theoretical perspectives, due to novel and exciting transport properties such as high permeability and high selectivity for both liquids and gases. Unlike other advanced materials, the availability of scalably produced graphene oxide (GO), an oxygenated derivative of graphene, has inspired separation industries to look forward to the industrial application of the graphene-based membrane. The presence of different oxygenated functional groups has also made GO membrane amenable for modification to specific separation targets. However, the fabrication of large, robust, homogeneous graphene-based membranes is still challenging.
This Special Issue on “Graphene-Based Membranes: Overview and Perspectives” of Membranes seeks contributions in assessing the state-of-the-art and future developments in the field of graphene-based membranes. Topics include, but are not limited to, development, the manufacturing process, modification, transport phenomena, novel applications, and demonstration efforts toward industrial applications. Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original papers and reviews are welcome.

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.
