Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, advancements in membrane technologies have revolutionized various industries, offering innovative solutions to critical global challenges. This Special Issue explores the latest breakthroughs in membrane science and technology, highlighting their diverse applications across multiple fields. Water treatment technologies have significantly benefitted from the development of novel membranes, providing efficient and sustainable methods for desalination, wastewater treatment, and removal of contaminants. In the realm of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), advanced membranes have emerged as vital tools in mitigating climate change by enabling efficient CO2 capture and conversion processes.

Additionally, energy storage systems have seen remarkable improvements through the integration of cutting-edge membrane materials, enhancing the performance and longevity of batteries and fuel cells. The versatility of these advanced membranes extends to various industrial processes, including gas separation, pervaporation, and hemodialysis, showcasing their critical role in healthcare, environmental protection, and energy sectors. This issue delves into these innovations' scientific principles, presents case studies on their real-world applications, and discusses future directions in membrane technology research. This Special Issue aims to inspire further research and development by providing a comprehensive overview of these advancements, paving the way for sustainable and efficient solutions to contemporary engineering. This issue will cover topics such as materials for membrane separations, membrane theory, membrane modeling, and machine learning for membrane separations.
