Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inorganic membranes have received renewed interest since 1985 for applications in advanced gas separation and water treatments. Compared to polymeric membranes, they have a higher cost, which is offset by their better thermochemical stability, higher selectivity, absence of swelling, and incompressible pore structures. New methods for low-carbon energy conversion and the removal of molecular contamination from water are emphasizing the need for the timely commercialization of these promising concepts. In view of your expertise in this field, we invite you to contribute original works on the utilization of inorganic membranes in viable large-scale applications.
The papers will be published in the journal Inorganics, which focuses on inorganic materials science. Consequently, we anticipate papers exploring continuous inorganic structures on inorganic and polymeric supports. Both metallic and non-metallic porous and dense structures are of interest.
We encourage studies that consider high-definition microstructures, defect control, detailed micro-structural characterization, long-term operational stability, and cost-effectiveness.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Hendrik Verweij
Guest Editor
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. Inorganics 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.
