Abstract
Zinc-sulfur (Zn-S) batteries exhibit a high theoretical energy density, nontoxicity, and cost-effectiveness, demonstrating significant potential for integration into large-scale energy storage systems. However, the phenomenon of polysulfide (including dissolved S8 and Sx2-) shuttling is a major issue that results in rapid capacity decay and a short lifespan, limiting the practical performance of sulfur-based batteries. Herein, we fabricated an ionic covalent organic framework (iCOF) membrane as an active separator for the Zn-S battery. Sulfonic acid groups were introduced to the COF membrane, providing abundant negative charge sites in its pore wall. By combining size sieving and charge interaction between the polysulfide and pore wall, the iCOF membrane inhibited the crossover of polysulfides to the Zn metal anode without affecting the transport of metal ions. The Zn-S battery with the iCOF membrane as the separator shows a high-performance and low attenuation rate of 0.05% per cycle over 300 cycles at 2.5 A g-1. This study emphasizes the significance of separator design in enhancing Zn-S batteries and showcases the potential of functionalized framework materials for the development of high-performance energy storage systems.

Abstract
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) are novel porous materials that have attracted much attention due to their extraordinary properties, such as high specific surface area, tunable pore size, high stability and ease of functionalisation. However, conventional synthesised POFs are mostly large-sized particles or insoluble powders, which are difficult to recycle and have low mass transfer efficiencies, limiting the development of their cutting-edge applications. Therefore, processing POF materials into membrane structures is of great significance. In recent years, interface engineering strategies have proved to be efficient methods for the formation of POF membranes. In this perspective, recent advances in the use of interfaces to prepare POF membranes are reviewed. The challenges of this strategy and the potential applications of the formed POF membranes are discussed.

Abstract
Insufficient access to clean water and resources has emerged as one of the most pressing issues affecting people globally. Membrane-based ion separation has become a focal point of research for the generation of fresh water and the extraction of energy elements. This Review encapsulates recent advancements in the selective ion transport of covalent organic framework (COF) membranes, accomplished by strategically pairing diverse monomers to create membranes with various pore sizes and environments for specific purposes. We first discuss the merits of using COF materials as a basis for fabricating membranes for ion separation. We then explore the development of COF membranes in areas such as desalination, acid recovery, and energy element extraction, with a particular emphasis on the fundamental principles of membrane design. Lastly, we address both theoretical and practical challenges, as well as potential opportunities in the targeted design of ion-selective membranes. The goal of this Review is to stimulate future investigative efforts in this field, which is of significant scientific and strategic importance.
