Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, gas adsorption and separation represent a very important direction to fight climate change. Advanced solid porous materials such as mesoporous adsorbents, metal–organic frameworks, and zeolites represent a promising direction for CO2 capture and separation due to their high efficiency and low energy consumption. These materials present very impressive characteristics such as good adsorption capacity, high selectivity and stability, and the possibility to regenerate between cycles at relatively low temperatures.
The pore size and pore volume of the advanced solid mesoporous materials significantly affect the gas capture performance of amine-grafted and amine-impregnated adsorbents. The synthesis of these materials functionalized with different amine groups with high adsorption capacity for gas capture process represents an important task for the future. The characterization of these materials from the structural, thermal program adsorption–desorption, and regeneration points of view are also important for future industrial CO2 capture applications.
In the Special Issue on “Advanced Composite Materials for Gas Adsorption and Separation”, I have the pleasure of inviting you to contribute with new research material in this scientific domain, dedicated to innovative advanced solid porous materials for gas adsorption and separation.

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. Separations 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 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.
