Abstract
Hydrogen/carbon dioxide (H2/CO2) separation for sustainable energy is in desperate need of reliable membranes at high temperatures. Molecular sieve membranes take their nanopores to differentiate sizes between H2 and CO2 but have compromised at a marked loss of selectivity at high temperatures owing to diffusion activation of CO2. We used molecule gatekeepers that were locked in the cavities of the metal-organic framework membrane to meet this challenge. Ab initio calculations and in situ characterizations demonstrate that the molecule gatekeepers make a notable move at high temperatures to dynamically reshape the sieving apertures as being extremely tight for CO2 and restitute with cool conditions. The H2/CO2 selectivity was improved by an order of magnitude at 513 kelvin (K) relative to that at the ambient temperature.

Abstract
Waste management has become an ever-increasing global issue due to population growth and rapid globalisation. For similar reasons, the greenhouse effect caused by fossil fuel combustion, is leading to chronic climate change issues. A novel approach, the waste-to-hydrogen process, is introduced to address the concern of waste generation and climate change with an additional merit of production of a renewable, higher energy density than fossil fuels and sustainable transportation fuel, hydrogen (H2) gas. In the downstream H2 purifying process, membrane separation is one of the appealing options for the waste-to-hydrogen process given its low energy consumption and low operational cost. However, commercial polymeric membranes have hindered membrane separation process due to their low separation performance. By introducing novel two-dimensional materials as substitutes, the limitation of purifying using conventional membranes can potentially be solved. Herein, this article provides a comprehensive review of two-dimensional materials as alternatives to membrane technology for the gas separation of H2 in waste-to-hydrogen downstream process. Moreover, this review article elaborates and provides some perspectives on the challenges and future potential of the waste-to-hydrogen process and the use of two-dimensional materials in membrane technology.

The Growth of Metal–Organic Frameworks in the Presence of Graphene Oxide: A Mini Review. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12050501.

Abstract
Integrated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with graphene oxide (GO) have aroused huge interest in recent years due to their unique properties and excellent performance compared to MOFs or GO alone. While a lot of attention has been focused on the synthesis methodologies and the performance analysis of the composite materials in recent years, the fundamental formation/crystallization mechanism(s) is (are) still not fully understood. Ascribed to the distinctive structural and functional properties of GO, the nucleation and crystallization process of MOFs could be altered/promoted, forming MOF/GO composite materials with different nanostructures. Furthermore, the MOF’s parental structure could also influence how the GO and MOF bond together. Thus, this short review attempted to provide critical and indepth discussions of recent research results with a particular focus on the factors that influence the directional growth of parent MOFs in the presence of graphene oxide. Due to the unique structure and enhanced properties, the derived MOF/GO composites have a wide range of applications including gas separation, electrochemistry, and photocatalysis. We hope this review will be of interest to researchers working on MOF design, crystal structure control (e.g., orientation), and composite materials development.

Abstract
In the last decade, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been studied extensively for their potential as selective separation membranes. In this review, we highlight unique structural properties of ZIFs that allow them to achieve certain important separations, like that of propylene from propane, and summarize the state of the art in ZIF thin-film deposition on porous substrates and their modification by postsynthesis treatments. We also review the reported membrane performance for representative membrane synthesis approaches and attempt to rank the synthesis methods with respect to potential for scalability. To compare the dependence of membrane performance on membrane synthesis methods and operating conditions, we map out fluxes and separation factors of selected ZIF-8 membranes for propylene/propane separation. Finally, we provide future directions considering the importance of further improvements in scalability, cost effectiveness, and stable performance under industrially relevant conditions. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Volume 13 is October 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
ConspectusPorous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), formed from organic linkers and metal nodes, have attracted intense research attention. Because of their high specific surface areas, uniform and adjustable pore sizes, and versatile physicochemical properties, MOFs have shown disruptive potential in adsorption, catalysis, separation, etc. For many of these applications, MOFs are synthesized solvothermally as bulk powders and subsequently shaped as pellets or extrudates. Other applications, such as membrane separations and (opto)electronics, require the implementation of MOFs as (patterned) thin films. Most thin-film formation methods are adapted from liquid-phase synthesis protocols. Precursor transport and nucleation are difficult to control in these cases, often leading to particle formation in solution. Moreover, the use of solvents gives rise to environmental and safety challenges, incompatibility issues with some substrates, and corrosion issues in the case of dissolved metal salts. In contrast, vapor-phase processing methods have the merits of environmental friendliness, control over thickness and conformality, scalability in production, and high compatibility with other workflows.In this Account, we outline some of our efforts and related studies in the development and application of vapor-phase processing of crystalline MOF materials (MOF-VPP). We first highlight the advances and mechanisms in the vapor-phase deposition of MOFs (MOF-VPD), mainly focusing on the reactions between a linker vapor and a metal-containing precursor layer. The characteristics of the obtained MOFs (thickness, porosity, crystallographic phase, orientation, etc.) and the correlation of these properties with the deposition parameters (precursors, temperatures, humidity, post-treatments, etc.) are discussed. Some in situ characterization methods that contributed to a fundamental understanding of the involved mechanisms are included in the discussion. Second, four vapor-phase postsynthetic functionalization (PSF) methods are summarized: linker exchange, guest loading, linker grafting, and metalation. These approaches eliminate potential solubility issues and enable fast diffusion of reactants and guests as well as a high loading or degree of exchange. Vapor-phase PSF provides a platform to modify the MOF porosity or even introduce new functionalities (e.g., luminescence photoswitching and catalytic activity). Third, since vapor-phase processing methods enable the integration of MOF film deposition into a (micro)fabrication workflow, they facilitate a range of applications with improved performance (low-k dielectrics, sensors, membrane separations, etc.). Finally, we provide a discussion on the limitations, challenges, and further opportunities for MOF-VPP. Through the discussion and analysis of the vapor-phase processing strategies as well as the underlying mechanisms in this Account, we hope to contribute to the development of the controllable synthesis, functionalization, and application of MOFs and related materials.

Abstract
Crystalline porous materials (CPMs) with uniform and regular pore systems show great potential for separation applications using membrane technology. Along with the research on the synthesis of precisely engineered porous structures, significant attention has been paid to the practical application of these materials for preparation of crystalline porous membranes (CPMBs). In this review, the progress made in the preparation of thin, large area and defect-free CPMBs using classical and novel porous materials and processing is presented. The current state-of-the-art of scalable CPMBs with different nodes (inorganic, organic and hybrid) and various linking bonds (covalent, coordination, and hydrogen bonds) is revealed. The advances made in the scalable production of high-performance crystalline porous membranes are categorized according to the strategies adapted from polymer membranes (interfacial assembly, solution-casting, melt extrusion and polymerization of CPMs) and tailored based on CPM properties (seeding-secondary growth, conversion of precursors, electrodeposition and chemical vapor deposition). The strategies are compared and ranked based on their scalability and cost. The potential applications of CPMBs have been concisely summarized. Finally, the performance and challenges in the preparation of scalable CPMBs with emphasis on their sustainability are presented.

Abstract
In this paper, a review of the compatibility of polymeric membranes with lignocellulosic biomass is presented. The structure and composition of lignocellulosic biomass which could enhance membrane fabrications are considered. However, strong cell walls and interchain hindrances have limited the commercial-scale applications of raw lignocellulosic biomasses. These shortcomings can be surpassed to improve lignocellulosic biomass applications by using the proposed pretreatment methods, including physical and chemical methods, before incorporation into a single-polymer or copolymer matrix. It is imperative to understand the characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass and polymeric membranes, as well as to investigate membrane materials and how the separation performance of polymeric membranes containing lignocellulosic biomass can be influenced. Hence, lignocellulosic biomass and polymer modification and interfacial morphology improvement become necessary in producing mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In general, the present study has shown that future membrane generations could attain high performance, e.g., CO2 separation using MMMs containing pretreated lignocellulosic biomasses with reachable hydroxyl group radicals.

Abstract
Microporous framework membranes such as metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes and covalent organic framework (COF) membranes are constructed by the controlled growth of small building blocks with large porosity and permanent well-defined micropore structures, which can overcome the ubiquitous tradeoff between membrane permeability and selectivity; they hold great promise for the enormous challenging separations in energy and environment fields. Therefore, microporous framework membranes are endowed with great expectations as next-generation membranes, and have evolved into a booming research field. Numerous novel membrane materials, versatile manipulation strategies of membrane structures, and fascinating applications have erupted in the last five years. First, this review summarizes and categorizes the microporous framework membranes with pore sizes lower than 2 nm based on their chemistry: inorganic microporous framework membranes, organic-inorganic microporous framework membranes, and organic microporous framework membranes, where the chemistry, fabrications, and differences among these membranes have been highlighted. Special attention is paid to the membrane structures and their corresponding modifications, including pore architecture, intercrystalline grain boundary, as well as their diverse control strategies. Then, the separation mechanisms of membranes are covered, such as diffusion-selectivity separation, adsorption-selectivity separation, and synergetic adsorption-diffusion-selectivity separation. Meanwhile, intricate membrane design to realize synergistic separation and some emerging mechanisms are highlighted. Finally, the applications of microporous framework membranes for precise gas separation, liquid molecule separation, and ion sieving are summarized. The remaining challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed. This timely review may provide genuine guidance on the manipulation of membrane structures and inspire creative designs of novel membranes, promoting the sustainable development and steadily increasing prosperity of this field.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline materials ever synthesized. Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and chemical features have made these materials of significant interest for membrane-based gas separations. In this comprehensive review, we discuss opportunities and challenges related to the formation of pure MOF films and mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Common and emerging separation applications are identified, and membrane transport theory for MOFs is described and contextualized relative to the governing principles that describe transport in polymers. Additionally, cross-cutting research opportunities using advanced metrologies and computational techniques are reviewed. To quantify membrane performance, we introduce a simple membrane performance score that has been tabulated for all of the literature data compiled in this review. These data are reported on upper bound plots, revealing classes of MOF materials that consistently demonstrate promising separation performance. Recommendations are provided with the intent of identifying the most promising materials and directions for the field in terms of fundamental science and eventual deployment of MOF materials for commercial membrane-based gas separations.

Abstract
Better and more efficient membranes are needed to face imminent and future scientific, technological and societal challenges. New materials endowed with enhanced properties are required for the preparation of such membranes. Metal and Covalent Organic Frameworks (MOFs and COFs) are a new class of crystalline porous materials with large surface area, tuneable pore size, structure, and functionality, making them a perfect candidate for membrane applications. In recent years an enormous number of articles have been published on the use of MOFs and COFs in preparation of membranes for various applications. This review gathers the work reported on the synthesis and preparation of membranes containing MOFs and COFs in the last 10 years. Here we give an overview on membranes and their use in separation technology, discussing the essential factors in their synthesis as well as their limitations. A full detailed summary of the preparation and characterization methods used for MOF and COF membranes is given. Finally, applications of these membranes in gas and liquid separation as well as fuel cells are discussed. This review is aimed at both experts in the field and newcomers, including students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, who would like to learn about preparation of membranes from crystalline porous materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks are an emerging and fascinating category of porous solids that can be self-assembled with metal-based cations linked by organic molecules. The unique features of MOFs in porosity (or surface areas), together with their diversity for chemical components and architectures, make MOFs attractive candidates in many applications. MOF membranes represent a long-term endeavor to convert MOF crystals in the lab to potentially industry-available commodities, which, as a promising alternative to distillation, provide a bright future for energy-efficient separation technologies closely related with chemicals, the environment, and energy. The membrane reactor shows a typical intensified process strategy by combining the catalytic reaction with the membrane separation in one unit. This review highlights the recent process of MOF-based membranes and the importance of MOF-based membrane reactors in relative intensified chemical processes.

Abstract
Metal/covalent-organic framework (MOF/COF) membranes have attracted increasing research interest and have been considered as state-of-the-art platforms applied in various environment- and energy-related separation/transportation processes. To break the trade-off between permeability and selectivity to achieve ultimate separation, recent studies have been oriented towards how to design and exploit ultrathin MOF/COF membranes (i.e. sub-1 μm-thick). Given great advances made in the past five years, it is valuable to timely and systematically summarize the recent development and shed light on the future trend in this multidisciplinary field. In this review, we first present the advanced strategies in fabricating ultrathin defect-free MOF/COF membranes such as in situ growth, contra-diffusion method, layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly, metal-based precursor as the pre-functionalized layer, interface-assisted strategy, and laminated assembly of MOF/COF nanosheets. Then, the recent progress in some emerging applications of ultrathin MOF/COF membranes beyond gas separation is highlighted, including water treatment and seawater desalination, organic solvent nanofiltration, and energy-related separation/transportation (i.e. lithium ion separation and proton conductivity). Finally, some unsolved scientific and technical challenges associated with future perspectives in this field are discussed, inspiring the development of next-generation separation membranes.
