Abstract
Today, chemistry and nanotechnology cover molecular separations in liquid and gas states by aiding in the design of new nano-sized materials. In this regard, the synthesis and application of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are current fields of research in which structurally defined 2D materials are being used in membrane separation either in self-standing membranes or composites with polymer phases. For instance, pervaporation (PV), as a highly selective technology for liquid separation, benefits from using 2D materials to selectively transport water or other solvent molecules. Therefore, this review paper offers an interesting update in revising the ongoing progress of PV membranes using 2D materials in several applications, including solvent purification (the removal of water from organic systems), organics removal (the removal of organic molecules diluted in water systems), and desalination (selective water transport from seawater). In general, recent reports from the past 3 years have been discussed and analyzed. Attention has been devoted to the proposed strategies and fabrication of membranes for the inclusion of 2D materials into polymer phases. Finally, the future trends and current research gaps are declared for the scientists in the field.

Abstract
Freshwater scarcity is a pressing global concern, and water desalination has emerged as a promising solution. Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have demonstrated exceptional potential in this regard. However, previous efforts to improve the permeability of MOFs have primarily focused on chemical modifications and synthesis rather than exploring physical methods. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we propose that the use of terahertz waves at a specific frequency of 7.5 ± 1.0 THz significantly enhances water permeability across MOF membranes, up to 27-fold, while maintaining effective ion rejection capabilities throughout the process. The mechanism behind this enhancement involves the resonance between the terahertz wave and the hydrogen bond vibrations of water within the MOF. This resonance amplifies the rotational kinetic energy of water molecules, disrupting the hydrogen bonds and causing a phase transition from quasi 1D square ice to a gas-like phase. Additionally, the diffusion behavior shifts from Fickian diffusion to sub-diffusion, resulting in improved water permeation across the MOF membrane. This study highlights the potential of terahertz waves as a physical tool to enhance the permeability of MOFs in water desalination, providing new avenues for efficient water treatment and resource sustainability.

Abstract
As a highly promising approach to solving the issues of energy and environment, membrane technology has gained increasing attention in various fields including water treatment, liquid separations, and gas separations, owing to its high energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. Surface segregation, a phenomenon widely found in nature, exhibits irreplaceable advantages in membrane fabrication since it is an in situ method for synchronous modification of membrane and pore surfaces during the membrane forming process. Meanwhile, combined with the development of synthesis chemistry and nanomaterial, the group has developed surface segregation as a versatile membrane fabrication method using diverse surface segregation agents. In this review, the recent breakthroughs in surface segregation methods and their applications in membrane fabrication are first briefly introduced. Then, the surface segregation phenomena and the classification of surface segregation agents are discussed. As the major part of this review, the authors focus on surface segregation methods including free surface segregation, forced surface segregation, synergistic surface segregation, and reaction-enhanced surface segregation. The strategies for regulating the physical and chemical microenvironments of membrane and pore surfaces through the surface segregation method are emphasized. The representative applications of surface segregation membranes are presented. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are highlighted.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based membranes have earned broad attention because of their excellent capability of separation performance in a mixture that can challenge the conventional membrane materials utilized in the organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) field. Boron nitride (BN) nanosheet membranes have displayed superb stability and separation ability in aqueous and organic solutions compared to the widely researched analogous graphene-based membranes; nevertheless, the concentration polarization of organic dye pollutants fades their separation performance and eclipses their potential adoption as a feasible technology. Herein, PDDA-modified BN (PBN) and sodium alginate-modified BN (SBN) nanosheet membranes with a thinner laminar structure are facially fabricated to improve the molecule separation performance compared to that of the pristine BN membrane. In aqueous separation application, the SBN membranes (2 μm) can reject positively charged dyes up to 100% and the PBN membrane (2 μm) could reject negatively charged dyes up to 100%. Impressively, the PBN membranes (3 μm) and SBN membranes (3 μm) demonstrate record high performances in OSN, with a permeance of 809 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 97.71% rejection to acid fuchsin in acetonitrile and 290 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 94.94% rejection to Azure B in dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. The charged PBN and SBN nanosheet membranes demonstrate stable separation capability, exhibiting their potential for practical water and organic solvent purification processes.

Abstract
MXenes are an innovative class of 2D nanostructured materials gaining popularity for various uses in medicine, chemistry, and the environment. A larger outer layer area, exceptional stability and conductivity of heat, high porosity, and environmental friendliness are all characteristics of MXenes and their composites. As a result, MXenes have been used to produce Li-ion batteries, semiconductors, water desalination membranes, and hydrogen storage. MXenes have recently been used in many environmental remediations, frequently surpassing conventional materials, to treat groundwater contamination, surface waters, industrial and municipal wastewaters, and desalination. Due to their outstanding structural characteristics and the enormous specific surface area, they are widely utilized as adsorbents or membrane materials for the desalination of seawater. When used for electrochemical applications, MXene-composites can deionize via Faradaic capacitive deionization (CDI) and adsorb various organic and inorganic pollutants to treat the water. In general, as compared to other 2D nanomaterials, MXene has superb characteristics; because of their magnificent characteristics and they exhibit strong desalination capability. The current review paper discusses the desalination capability of MXenes and their composites. Focusing on the desalination capacity of MXene-based nanomaterials, this study discusses the characteristics and synthesis techniques of MXenes their composites along with their ion-rejection capability and pervaporation desalination of water via MXene-based membranes, capacitive deionization capability, solar desalination capability. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of MXenes and their composites are highlighted.

Abstract
Biological ion channels penetrated through cell membrane form unique transport pathways for selective ionic conductance. Replicating the success of ion selectivity with mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) will enable new separation technologies but remains challenging. Herein, we report a soft substrate-assisted solution casting method to develop MMMs with penetrating subnanochannels for selective metal ion conduction. The MMMs are composed of penetrating Prussian white (PW) microcubes with subnanochannels in dense polyimide (PI) matrices, achieving selective monovalent metal ion conduction. The ion selectivity of K+ /Mg2+ is up to 14.0, and the ion conductance of K+ can reach 45.5 μS with the testing diameter of 5 mm, which can be further improved by increasing the testing area. Given the diversity of nanoporous materials and polymer matrices, we expect that the MMMs with penetrating subnanochannels could be developed into a versatile nanofluidic platform for various emerging applications.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have attracted significant attention in the field of water processing in recent years due to their unique characteristics. However, few reports focus on both membrane stability and the “trade-off” effect. In this study, a series of aliphatic diamines (1, 2-ethylenediamine, 1, 4-butanediamine, and 1, 6-hexamethylenediamine) of covalent crosslinked GO were used to prepare diamine-modified nanofiltration membranes, BPPO/AX-GO, with adjustable layer spacing using the vacuum extraction−filtration method. Moreover, Ax-GO-modified nanofiltration membranes modified with adipose diamine had higher layer spacing, lower mass-transfer resistance, and better stability. When the number of carbon atoms was 5, the best layer spacing was reached, and when the number of carbon atoms was greater than 4, the modified membrane nanosheets more easily accumulated. With the increase in layer spacing, the water flux of the composite film increased to 26.27 L/m2·h·bar. Meanwhile, adipose diamine crosslinking significantly improved the stability of GO films. The interception sequence of different valence salts in the composite membrane was NaCl > Na2SO4 > MgSO4, and the rejection rate of bivalent salts was higher than that of monovalent salts. The results can provide some experimental basis and research ideas for overcoming the “trade-off” effect of a lamellar GO membrane.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) material-based membranes are promising candidates for various separation applications. However, the further enhancement of membrane ion conductance is difficult, and the regulation of membrane ion selectivity remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate the facile fabrication of MXene composite membranes by incorporating spacing agents that contain SO3H groups into the MXene interlayers. The synthesized membrane shows enhanced ion conductance and ion selectivity. Subsequently, the membranes are utilized for salinity gradient power (SGP) generation and lithium-ion (Li+) recovery. The membrane containing poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) as the spacing agent shows a much higher power density for SGP generation as compared to the pristine MXene membrane. Using artificial seawater and river water, the power density reaches 1.57 W/m2 with a testing area of 0.24 mm2. Also, the same membrane shows Li+/Na+ and Li+/K+ selectivities of 2.5 and 3.2, respectively. The incorporation of PSS increases both the size and charge density of the nanochannels inside the membrane, which is beneficial for ion conduction. In addition, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that the binding energy between Li+ and the SO3H group is lower than other alkali ion metals, and this might be one major reason why the membrane possesses high Li+ selectivity. This study demonstrates that incorporating spacing agents into the 2D material matrix is a viable strategy to enhance the performance of the 2D material-based membranes. The results from this study can inspire new membrane designs for emerging applications including energy harvesting and monovalent ion recovery.

Abstract
Discharge of antibiotic-containing wastewater causes environmental pollution and threatens biological and human health. An efficient treatment method for this wastewater is urgently required. We prepared inorganic-organic hybrid MXene-pillararene nanosheets with a large lateral size (5-8 μm). The hybrid nanosheets were stacked on supports via vacuum-assisted filtration to prepare membranes with regular parallel slits and an interlayer spacing of 1.36 nm, which were used to purify antibiotic-containing water. Permeance through the membrane increased 100-fold compared with most polymeric and other two-dimensional nanofiltration membranes with similar rejection. This high permeance and rejection was attributed to the large lateral size of the nanosheets, regular interlayer spacing, and electrostatic interaction between the membrane and antibiotics. These membranes will broaden the applications of lamellar materials for the separation of high-value-added drugs in academia and industry.

Abstract
2D nanostructured materials, including inorganic and graphene nanosheets, have evoked plenty of scientific research activity due to their intriguing properties and excellent functionalities. The complementary advantages and common 2D crystal shapes of inorganic and graphene nanosheets render their homogenous mixtures powerful building blocks for novel high-performance functional hybrid materials. The nanometer-level thickness of 2D inorganic/graphene nanosheets allows the achievement of unusually strong electronic couplings between sheets, leading to a remarkable improvement in preexisting functionalities and the creation of unexpected properties. The synergetic merits of atomically coupled 2D inorganic-graphene nanosheets are presented here in the exploration of novel heterogeneous functional materials, with an emphasis on their critical roles as hybridization building blocks, interstratified sheets, additives, substrates, and deposited monolayers. The great flexibility and controllability of the elemental compositions, defect structures, and surface natures of inorganic-graphene nanosheets provide valuable opportunities for exploring high-performance nanohybrids applicable as electrodes for supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries, electrocatalysts, photocatalysts, and water purification agents, to give some examples. An outlook on future research perspectives for the exploitation of emerging 2D nanosheet-based hybrid materials is also presented along with novel synthetic strategies to maximize the synergetic advantage of atomically mixed 2D inorganic-graphene nanosheets.

Multifunctional, Robust, and Porous PHBV-GO/MXene Composite Membranes with Good Hydrophilicity, Antibacterial Activity, and Platelet Adsorption Performance. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13213748.

Abstract
The limitations of hydrophilicity, strength, antibacterial activity adsorption performance of the biobased and biocompatible polymer materials, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), significantly restrict their wider applications especially in medical areas. In this paper, a novel composite membrane with high antibacterial activity and platelet adsorption performance was prepared based on graphene oxide (GO), MXene and 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), which are medium-chain-length-copolymers of PHA. The GO/MXene nanosheets can uniformly inset on the surface of PHBV fibre and give the PHBV—GO/MXene composite membranes superior hydrophilicity due to the presence of hydroxyl groups and terminal oxygen on the surface of nanosheets, which further provides the functional site for the free radical polymerization of ester bonds between GO/MXene and PHBV. As a result, the tensile strength, platelet adsorption, and blood coagulation time of the PHBV—GO/MXene composite membranes were remarkably increased compared with those of the pure PHBV membranes. The antibacterial rate of the PHBV—GO/MXene composite membranes against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria can reach 97% due to the antibacterial nature of MXene. The improved strength, hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity and platelet adsorption performance suggest that PHBV—GO/MXene composite membranes might be ideal candidates for multifunctional materials for haemostatic applications.

Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides in modern agriculture results in large amounts of pesticide residues in agricultural production, greatly threatening human health. Herein, novel two-dimensional leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework-L decorated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/ZIF-L) was prepared by a facile solvent way and exploited as electrode material for sensitive electrochemical sensing of thiabendazole (TBZ). Two-dimensional ZIF-L presents high surface area, large pore volume, and abundant active sites, which exhibits high enrichment ability towards TBZ molecules, while the MWCNTs interspersed on ZIF-L can prominently enhance the electron transport capability and improve the electrocatalytic activity for TBZ oxidation. Due to the intriguing synergy between the components, the MWCNTs/ZIF-L-based electrochemical sensor reveals a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.0 nmol·L-1, which is lower than that reported in most literatures. Additionally, satisfactory reproducibility and repeatability, long-term stability, and excellent selectivity are acquired. The proposed method was also applied for the detection of TBZ in apple and orange samples with acceptable recoveries.

Abstract
Fast water transport channels are crucial for water-related membrane separation processes. However, overcoming the trade-off between flux and selectivity is still a major challenge. To address this, we constructed spherical polyelectrolyte brush (SPB) structures with a highly hydrophilic polyelectrolyte brush layer, and introduced them into GO laminates, which increased both the flux and the separation factor. At 70 °C, the flux reached 5.23 kg m-2 h-1 , and the separation factor of butanol/water increased to ≈8000, which places it among the most selective separation membranes reported to date. Interestingly, further studies demonstrated that the enhancement of water transport was not only dependent on the hydrophilicity of the polyelectrolyte chains, but also influenced by their flexibility in the solvent. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and molecular dynamics simulations revealed the structure-performance correlations between water molecule migration and the flexibility of the ordered polymer chains in the 2D confined space.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet membranes have been widely studied for water and wastewater treatment. However, mass transport inside 2D nanosheet membranes is far from being fully understood, and suitable applications of these membranes are yet to be identified. In this study, we investigate ion transport inside a 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membrane by combining experimental results with numerical modeling. Specifically, we analyze the influence of the electrical double layer (EDL) extension on ion diffusion in the MoS2 membrane, and a parameter called the exclusion-enrichment coefficient (β) is introduced to quantify how the electrostatic interaction between the coions and the EDL can affect the ion diffusion. Using the model developed in this study, the β values under different experimental conditions (feed solution concentration and applied hydraulic pressure) are calculated. The results show that coion diffusion inside the membrane can be retarded since β is smaller than one. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism is explored by theoretically estimating the radial ion concentration and electrical potential distributions across the membrane nanochannel. In addition, we find that convective mass transport can weaken the exclusion-enrichment effect by increasing β. Based on the results in this study, the potential applications and feasible membrane design strategies of 2D nanosheet membranes are discussed.

Abstract
Here, we design and synthesize a novel 2D Cu-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) metal-organic framework (MOF) sheet and ultrasmall Cu5.4O nanoparticle (Cu5.4O USNP) hybrid (Cu-TCPP MOF/Cu5.4O nanocomposite). The graphene-like ultrathin Cu-TCPP MOF sheets offer high surface-to-volume atom ratios and many active sites, which is beneficial for loading more Cu5.4O USNPs. The Cu5.4O USNPs with ultrasmall size (<5 nm) have promising conductivity and excellent enzymatic ability for H2O2. The successfully prepared nanocomposites are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The 2D graphene-like ultrathin Cu-TCPP MOF sheets show no H2O2-sensing signals, whereas Cu5.4O USNPs exhibit a clear reduction peak for detection of H2O2. Interestingly, the combination of two kinds of nanomaterials improved the H2O2 sensing ability due to their synergistic effect. The properties of the unmodified electrodes and the Cu-TCPP MOF/Cu5.4O nanocomposite-modified electrodes were systemically studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), current-time (i-t) response, and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) techniques. The electrochemical sensor for the detection of H2O2 based on the Cu-TCPP MOF/Cu5.4O nanocomposite has a lower detection limit of 0.13 μmol·L-1 and wider linear range of 0.1 × 10-6 ~ 0.59 × 10-3 mol·L-1 and 1.59 × 10-3 ~ 20.59 × 10-3 mol·L-1 when compared with the Cu5.4O USNPs-modified electrode. The electrochemical sensor can be further used to detect H2O2 produced by cells.

Abstract
Incorporation of non-equilibrium actions in the sequence of self-assembly processes would be an effective means to establish bio-like high functionality hierarchical assemblies. As a novel methodology beyond self-assembly, nanoarchitectonics, which has as its aim the fabrication of functional materials systems from nanoscopic units through the methodological fusion of nanotechnology with other scientific disciplines including organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, microfabrication, and bio-process, has been applied to this strategy. The application of non-equilibrium factors to conventional self-assembly processes is discussed on the basis of examples of directed assembly, Langmuir-Blodgett assembly, and layer-by-layer assembly. In particular, examples of the fabrication of hierarchical functional structures using bio-active components such as proteins or by the combination of bio-components and two-dimensional nanomaterials, are described. Methodologies described in this review article highlight possible approaches using the nanoarchitectonics concept beyond self-assembly for creation of bio-like higher functionalities and hierarchical structural organization.
