摘要

This feature article summarizes some latest work of covalent organic framework membranes

including their fabrication methods and applications to water treatment

organic solvent nanofiltration and gas separation.

Abstract

Membrane technology has become one of the most promising separation technologies for its energy saving

high separation efficiency

environmental friendliness

and economic feasibility. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with intrinsically high porosity

controllable pore size

uniform pore size distribution and long-range ordered channel structure

have emerged as next-generation materials to fabricate advanced separation membranes. This feature article summarizes some latest studies in the development of pure COF membranes in our lab

including their fabrication and applications in chemical separations. Finally

current challenges facing high-performance COF separation membranes are discussed.
