Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation technologies have revolutionized various industrial processes due to their low cost, high efficiency, and environmental sustainability. In recent years, the emergence of two-dimensional graphene oxide material has brought about new possibilities in membrane design, offering unique atomic thickness and tuneable physical and chemical properties as an ideal membrane building block. High-performance graphene oxide membranes featuring well-defined nano/subnanometer-scale channels for controllable mass transport (for instance, gases, liquids, and ions) display tremendous potential for precise and selective molecular/ionic separation, and have been utilized in a broad spectrum of important applications related to the resources, energy, and environment fields.
The purpose of this Special Issue, “Graphene Oxide Membrane for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Applications”, is to collect recent advancements on developments and applications of innovative graphene oxide membranes. Original research articles, reviews and communications on membrane fabrications, membrane characterizations, channel constructions/regulations, transport and separation mechanisms, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations/calculations, membrane stability and scaling up technologies of graphene oxide membranes, and their utilisation and integration within sustainable energy and clean industry applications in fields including, but not limited to, gas separation, liquid separation, water purification, desalination, ions extraction and energy storage and conversation 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 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.
