Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current energy system is mainly based on fossil fuels, which implies a constant contribution of CO2 emissions and other pollutants to the atmosphere, deepening the already worrying global warming scenario. From this perspective, it is necessary to look for alternative ways to produce energy by introducing an energy carrier that could be obtained from renewable sources to reduce the environmental impact and global warming. Hydrogen is positioned as a relevant alternative in global industrial decarbonization if it is produced from clean processes. However, for the hydrogen economy to realize its potential, it must overcome the technological challenges in hydrogen production, utilization, storage and transportation. In this context, membrane technologies have received growing attention as an efficient alternative for high-purity hydrogen production on membrane reactors or hydrogen separation from several streams. Different membranes have been applied for hydrogen purification and/or recovery depending on hydrogen purity requirements and operation conditions.
This Special Issue aims to summarize the latest researchers and perspectives on the application of membranes for hydrogen production and recovery. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: materials innovation and challenges for hydrogen separation membranes; transport mechanism and membrane regeneration; incorporation of inorganic membranes in high-temperature membrane reactors; membrane technology for hydrogen recovery.

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.
