Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen and carbon are two key elements in the global energy transition. Hydrogen, as a clean and renewable energy carrier, can be used for various applications, such as fuel cells, power generation, and chemical synthesis. Carbon dioxide, as a major greenhouse gas, can be captured and stored from industrial sources to mitigate climate change; however, both hydrogen production and carbon capture face significant technical and economic challenges, which require advanced membrane technology to overcome. Membrane-based technology relies on the selective transport of ions or molecules to and from a compartment of interest of a device. This allows the studying of interaction with particular species experiments, keeping away interferring ions and molecules. In direct air capture, CO2 is absorbed by a suitable solvent and solvent regeneration is assisted by hydrogen production through the use of a suitable membrane.
The Special Issue invites review, critical review, perspective, method, and original research articles solicited on the topical interest areas of (i) the design and synthesis of novel membranes with enhanced properties, (ii) the characterization and modeling of membrane performance and transport mechanisms, (iii) the evaluation and comparison of membrane-based technologies with conventional methods, (iv) membrane fuel cells for energy production, (v) membrane-based electrochemical reactors for carbon utilization, and (vi) the development of robust electrocatalyst membrane assembly for hydrogen production.

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 2200 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.
