Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial wastewater treatment has become one of the hottest topics because of fast industrial development and the ever-increasing high restrictions on wastewater discharge. Moreover, industrial wastewater diversity brings a great challenge for conventional treating methods, especially when non-degradable organic pollutants are contained in the feed. The removal of such organic pollutants is a major concern in industrial wastewater treatment. Besides classical methods (e.g., Fenton chemistry), with the development of nanotechnology, many novel opportunities have arisen, including photo-catalysis, electro-catalysis, photo/electro-catalysis, etc. Thanks to their specific structures including a 3D interconnected web-like structure, high porosity, tunable pore size, etc., electrospun nanofibrous membranes (ENMs) could provide a high surface area and more sites for reactions. Thus, they exhibit great potential in the degradation of organic pollutants. Additionally, based on electrospinning, diverse nanomaterials with designed structures could be fabricated.
The current Special Issue of Membranes, which has an Impact Factor of 4.11, aims to seek state-of-the-art research progress, perspectives, and reviews in this field. It covers the fabrication of materials, performance studies, and theory investigation based on ENMs (both pristine and engineered/functionalized).

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
