Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion transport is one of the basic principles for the development of many technologies, which can improve the life quality such as the ever-growing of clean and sustainable energy, the development of water scarcity, even for the improvement of fundamental knowledge toward medical applications. Yet, freshwater appears to be running short due to the increasing world population, industrialization, and climate change. There is an urgent need to seek out alternative freshwater; hence, water desalination and ions separation technologies have become major interest. The prime goal of this Special Issue is to shed more light on the energy-efficient ions separation from water by utilizing advanced and well-engineered materials. We invite both review articles and original/fundamental research articles in this area. The following topics are examples within the scope of water desalination and ion transportation using function materials (not an exhaustive list):
-Membranes for ion selectivity and ion transport;
-Materials for capacitive and faradaic deionization;
-Materials for electrochemical applications;
-Redox flow systems for water desalination;
-Functional materials for ion separation, water remediation, and lithium recovery
-Fundamental of transport phenomena in functional materials.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
