Abstract
We report the application of a Pictet-Spengler reaction to the synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) using functionalized terephthalaldehydes. The COFs produced show an increased propensity to generate screw dislocations and produce multilayered flakes when compared with other 2D-COFs. Using HRTEM, definitive evidence for screw dislocations was obtained and is presented. The effects on separations using these materials in membranes are also reported.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new kind of crystalline porous materials composed of organic molecules connected by covalent bonds, processes the characteristics of low density, large specific surface area, adjustable pore size and structure, and easy to functionalize, which have been widely used in the field of membrane separation technology. Recently, there are more and more researches focusing on the preparation methods, separation application, and mechanism of COF membranes, which need to be further summarized and compared. In this review, we primarily summarized several conventional preparation methods, such as two-phase interfacial polymerization, in-situ growth on substrate, unidirectional diffusion method, layer-by-layer assembly method, mixed matrix membranes, and so on. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are briefly summarized. The application potential of COF membrane in liquid separation are introduced from four aspects: dyeing wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, seawater desalination and oil-water separation. Then, the mechanisms including pore structure, hydrophilic/hydrophobic, electrostatic repulsion/attraction and Donnan effect are introduced. For the efficient removal of different kind of pollutions, researchers can select different ligands to construct membranes with specific pore size, hydrophily, salt or organic rejection ability and functional group. The ideas for the design and preparation of COF membranes are introduced. Finally, the future direction and challenges of the next generation of COF membranes in the field of separation are prospected.

Abstract
Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) have emerged as very promising membranes for automotive applications because of their notable proton conductivity at low temperatures. These membranes find extensive utilization in fuel cells. Several polymeric materials have been used, but their application is constrained by their expense and intricate synthetic processes. Affordable and efficient synthetic methods for polymeric materials are necessary for the widespread commercial use of PEM technology. The polymeric combination of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and 4,4-diamino-2,2-biphenyldisulfonic acid facilitated the synthesis of PP-(PhSO3H)2, a polyphosphazene with built-in -SO3H moieties. Characterization revealed that it was a porous organic polymer with high stability. PP-(PhSO3H)2 exhibited a proton conductivity of up to 8.24 × 10-2 S cm-1 (SD = ±0.031) at 353 K under 98% relative humidity (RH), which was more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of its -SO3H-free analogue, PP-(Ph)2 (2.32 × 10-4 S cm-1) (SD = ±0.019) under identical conditions. Therefore, for application in a PEM fuel cell, PP-(PhSO3H)2-based matrix-mixed membranes (PP-(PhSO3H)2-MMMs) were fabricated by mixing them with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in various ratios. The proton conductivity could reach up to 6.11 × 10-2 S cm-1 (SD = ±0.0048) at 353 K and 98%RH, when the weight ratio of PP-(PhSO3H)2 : PAN was 3 : 1, the value of which was comparable with those of commercially available electrolytes used in PEM fuel cells. PP-(PhSO3H)2-MMM (3 : 1) had an extended lifetime of reusability. Using phosphazene and bisulfonated multiple-amine modules as precursors, we demonstrated that a porous organic polymer with a highly effective proton-conductive matrix-mixed membrane for PEM fuel cells could be produced readily by an intuitive polymeric reaction.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of highly porous crystalline organic polymers comprised entirely of organic linkers connected by strong covalent bonds. Due to their excellent physicochemical properties (e.g., ordered structure, porosity, and stability), COFs are considered ideal materials for developing state-of-the-art separation membranes. In fact, significant advances have been made in the last six years regarding the fabrication and functionalization of COF membranes. In particular, COFs have been utilized to obtain thin-film, composite, and mixed matrix membranes that could achieve effective rejection (mostly above 80%) of organic dyes and model organic foulants (e.g., humic acid). COF-based membranes, especially those prepared by embedding into polyamide thin-films, obtained adequate rejection of salts in desalination applications. However, the claims of ordered structure and separation mechanisms remain unclear and debatable. In this perspective, we analyze critically the design and exploitation of COFs for membrane fabrication and their performance in water treatment applications. In addition, technological challenges associated with COF properties, fabrication methods, and treatment efficacy are highlighted to redirect future research efforts in realizing highly selective separation membranes for scale-up and industrial applications.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have historically been of interest to researchers in different areas due to their distinctive characteristics, including well-ordered pores, large specific surface area, and structural tunability. In the past few years, as COF synthesis techniques developed, COF-based composites fabricated by integrating COFs and other functional materials including various kinds of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, ionic liquids, metal-organic frameworks, silica, polymers, enzymes and carbon nanomaterials have emerged as a novel kind of porous hybrid material. Herein, we first provide a thorough summary of advanced strategies for preparing COF-based composites; then, the emerging applications of COF-based composites in diverse fields due to their synergistic effects are systematically highlighted, including analytical chemistry (sensing, extraction, membrane separation, and chromatographic separation) and catalysis. Finally, the current challenges associated with future perspectives of COF-based composites are also briefly discussed to inspire the advancement of more COF-based composites with excellent properties.

Abstract
Water treatment has experienced a surge in the adoption of membrane separation technology. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of metal-free and open-framework materials, have emerged as potential membrane materials owing to their interconnected periodic porosity, tunability, and chemical stability. However, the challenges associated with processing COF powders into self-standing membranes have spurred the emergence of COF composite membranes. This review article highlights the rationale behind developing COF composite membranes and their categories, including mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and thin film composite (TFC) membranes. The common fabrication techniques of each category are presented. In addition, the influence of COF additives on the performance of the resultant composite membranes is systematically discussed, with a focus on the recent progress in applying COF composite membranes in the separation of different categories of water pollutants, including organic ions/molecules, toxic solvents, proteins, toxic heavy metals, and radionuclides.

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) exhibit characteristics ideal for membrane applications, such as high stability, tunability and porosity along with well-ordered nanopores. However, one of the many challenges with fabricating these materials into membranes is that membrane wetting can result in layer swelling. This allows molecules that would be excluded based on pore size to flow around the layers of the COF, resulting in reduced separation. Cross-linking between these layers inhibits swelling to improve the selectivity of these membranes. In this work, computational models were generated for a quinoxaline-based COF cross-linked with oxalyl chloride (OC) and hexafluoroglutaryl chloride (HFG). Enthalpy of formation and cohesive energy calculations from these models show that formation of these COFs is thermodynamically favorable and the resulting materials are stable. The cross-linked COF with HFG was synthesized and characterized with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis with differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC), and water contact angles. Additionally, these frameworks were fabricated into membranes for permeance testing. The experimental data supports the presence of cross-linking and demonstrates that varying the amount of HFG used in the reaction does not change the amount of cross-linking present. Computational models indicate that varying the cross-linking concentration has a negligible effect on stability and less cross-linking still results in stable materials. This work sheds light on the nature of the cross-linking in these 2D-COFs and their application in membrane technologies.

Abstract
Membrane technology has shown a viable potential in conversion of liquid-waste or high-salt streams to fresh waters and resources. However, the non-adjustability pore size of traditional membranes limits the application of ion capture due to their low selectivity for target ions. Recently, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have become a promising candidate for construction of advanced ion separation membranes for ion resource recovery due to their low density, large surface area, tunable channel structure, and tailored functionality. This tutorial review aims to analyze and summarize the progress in understanding ion capture mechanisms, preparation processes, and applications of COF-based membranes. First, the design principles for target ion selectivity are illustrated in terms of theoretical simulation of ions transport in COFs, and key properties for ion selectivity of COFs and COF-based membranes. Next, the fabrication methods of diverse COF-based membranes are classified into pure COF membranes, COF continuous membranes, and COF mixed matrix membranes. Finally, current applications of COF-based membranes are highlighted: desalination, extraction, removal of toxic metal ions, radionuclides and lithium, and acid recovery. This review presents promising approaches for design, preparation, and application of COF-based membranes in ion selectivity for recovery of ionic resources.

Abstract
The energy crisis in the world is increasing rapidly owing to the shortage of fossil fuel reserves. Climate change and an increase in global warming necessitates a change in focus from petroleum-based fuels to renewable fuels such as biofuels. The remodeling of existing separation processes using various nanomaterials is of a growing interest to industrial separation methods. Recently, the design of membrane technologies has been the most focused research area concerning fermentation broth to enhance performance efficiency, while recovering those byproducts to be used as value added fuels. Specifically, the use of novel nano material membranes, which brings about a selective permeation of the byproducts, such as organic solvent, from the fermentation broth, positively affects the fermentation kinetics by eliminating the issue of product inhibition. In this review, which and how membrane-based technologies using novel materials can improve the separation performance of organic solvents is considered. In particular, technical approaches suggested in previous studies are discussed with the goal of emphasizing benefits and problems faced in order to direct research towards an optimized membrane separation performance for renewable fuel production on a commercial scale.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising crystalline porous materials with highly tunable structures and functionalities. In the last decade, COF films have been synthesized and used as multifunctional materials for a diverse range of separation applications. However, there are still challenges in the scaling-up preparation of COF films with benchmarked performance for precise molecular separations. Recently, research has turned its attention to preparing functional COF films with an appropriate aperture size/functionality, facile preparation process, and superior stability. In this Perspective, we outline the recent advances in designing and preparing functional COF films based on surface and interfacial chemistry. On top of that, current obstacles and opportunities in the scaling-up preparation of functional COF films and their industrial applications are proposed and discussed. This Perspective strives to inspire the development of functional COF films with tailored structures and functionalities and promote their practical applications in diverse molecular separation processes.

Abstract
Highly permselective and durable membranes are desirable for massive separation applications. However, currently most membranes prepared using nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) suffer from low permeability and a high fouling tendency due to the great challenges in a rational design and also practical approach for membrane optimization. Inspired by the natural Murray network from vascular plants, we developed a hierarchical membrane via a straightforward yet robust strategy, using isocyanate as a multifunctional additive. Thanks to the integrated functions of a phase separation regulator, blowing agent, cross-linker, and functionalization anchor of isocyanate, our strategy is featured as a perfect combination of a phase separation and chemical reaction, and it enables synchronous engineering of the membrane hierarchy on porosity and components. The representative membrane exhibits superior water permeance (334 L/m2·h·bar), protein retention (>98%), and antifouling ability (flux recover ratio ∼ 98%). This work highlights a versatile path for pursuing a highly enhanced performance of NIPS-made membranes, from the fancy perspective of Murray bionics.

Abstract
Since the discovery of single-layer graphene in 2004, the family of 2D inorganic nanosheets is considered as ideal membrane materials due to their ultrathin atomic thickness and fascinating physicochemical properties. However, the intrinsically nonporous feature of 2D inorganic nanosheets hinders their potential to achieve a higher flux to some extent. Recently, 2D polymer nanosheets, originated from the regular and periodic covalent connection of the building units in 2D plane, have emerged as promising candidates for preparing ultrafast and highly selective membranes owing to their inherently tunable and ordered pore structure, light weight, and high specific surface. In this review, the synthetic methodologies (including top-down and bottom-up methods) of 2D polymer nanosheets are first introduced, followed by the summary of 2D polymer nanosheets-based membrane fabrication as well as membrane applications in the fields of gas separation, water purification, organic solvent separation, and ion exchange/transport in fuel cells and lithium-sulfur batteries. Finally, based on their current achievements, the authors' personal insights are put forward into the existing challenges and future research directions of 2D polymer nanosheets for membrane separation. The authors believe this comprehensive review on 2D polymer nanosheets-based membrane separation will definitely inspire more studies in this field.

Abstract
Functional additives have been widely utilized for the membrane structure modulation and performance improvement during the nonsolvent-induced phase separation process, but the resulted membranes easily suffer from additives' inhomogeneous dispersity and compatibility with the polymer matrix. Herein, a facile and robust strategy, i.e., one-step water-induced phase separation, was proposed for the preparation of polyelectrolytes-contained composite membranes. Polyanion (dopamine modified polyacrylic acid) and polycation (quaternized chitosan paired with bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl)imide) were first premixed in dimethyl sulfoxide and used as polyelectrolyte additives in a polysulfone (PSF) solution, and then a uniform PSF-based casting solution was readily obtained. During the solvent-water exchange process, polymer solidification and polyelectrolyte complexation were simultaneously triggered, in situ generating a polyelectrolyte complex fixed within the membrane matrix. Ultrafiltration membranes with hierarchical structures were notably tailored through altering the concentration, molecular weight, and type of polyelectrolytes. The obtained membrane exhibited a water flux of 672 L·m-2·h-1, three times over the raw PSF membrane, while almost maintaining high bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection. This work paves a straightforward and convenient path for the preparation of composite membranes with tunable architecture and properties.

Abstract
We report a new synthetic protocol for preparing highly ordered two-dimensional nanoporous covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) based on a quinoxaline backbone. The quinoxaline framework represents a new type of COF that enables postsynthetic modification by placing two different chemical functionalities within the nanopores including layer-to-layer cross-linking. We also demonstrate that membranes fabricated using this new 2D-COF perform highly selective separations resulting in dramatic performance enhancement post cross-linking.

Abstract
Developing an effective and stable separation membrane for water treatment is of much interest while challenging because of the restrictions of membrane fouling and water flux reduction. To minimize this problem, in this work, highly porous and hydrophilic nanostructure of NH2-modified MCM-41 (NH2-MCM-41) was embedded successfully into the nanofiltration (NF) membrane body via commonly used phase inversion method. The unmodified and modified nanofiller was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-Ray powder diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. Furthermore, the modified membranes were characterized through surface and cross section FE-SEM images, the membrane surface roughness, hydrophilicity, antifouling properties and dye rejection. Benefiting from porous networks and enhanced hydrophilicity, the mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) revealed more prominent hydrophilic property as well as higher pure water flux (PWF) compared with naked membrane. The polysulphone (PSf) membrane modified with NH2-MCM-41-1.0 exhibited the highest pure water flux (PWF) of 65.43 kg/m2.h and superior antifouling characteristics with a flux recovery ratio (FRR) of around 97.0% and an irreversible fouling resistance (Rir) of 3.2%. Furthermore, the optimal membrane possessed high dye rejection (100%) and antifouling capacity (FRR of 97%) while filtering a field sample, effluent from a local stabilization pond treating municipal wastewater. The fabricated membrane in this study is believed to pave pathways for constructing NF membranes with superior effectiveness for other municipal and industrial wastewaters treatment.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging crystalline polymeric materials with highly ordered intrinsic and uniform pores. Their synthesis involves reticular chemistry, which offers the freedom of choosing building precursors from a large bank with distinct geometries and functionalities. The pore sizes of COFs, as well as their geometry and functionalities, can be pre-designed, giving them an immense opportunity in various fields. In this mini-review, we will focus on the use of COFs in the removal of environmentally hazardous metal ions and chemicals through adsorption and separation. The review will introduce basic aspects of COFs and their advantages over other purification materials. Various fabrication strategies of COFs will be introduced in relation to the separation field. Finally, the challenges of COFs and their future perspectives in this field will be briefly outlined.

Abstract
Thin polymer coatings covering on porous substrates are a common composite structure required in numerous applications, including membrane separation, and there is a strong need to push the coating thicknesses down to the nanometer scale to maximize the performances. However, producing such ultrathin polymer coatings in a facile and efficient way remains a big challenge. Here, uniform ultrathin polymer covering films (UPCFs) are realized by a facile and general approach based on rapid solvent evaporation. By fast evaporating dilute polymer solutions spread on the surface of porous substrates, we obtain ultrathin coatings (down to ∼30 nm) exclusively on the top surface of porous substrates, forming UPCFs with a block copolymer of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinyl pyridine) at room temperature or a homopolymer of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) at elevated temperatures. Upon selective swelling of the block copolymer and crosslinking of PVA, we obtain highly permeable membranes delivering ∼2–10 times higher permeance in ultrafiltration and pervaporation than state-of-the-art membranes with comparable selectivities. We have invented a very convenient but highly efficient process for the direct preparation of defective-free ultrathin coatings on porous substrates, which is extremely desired in different fields in addition to membrane separation. Fast solvent evaporation is developed to produce UPCFs on porous substrates Selective swelling to cavitate block copolymers to form interconnected mesopores UPCFs enable the preparation of highly permeable membranes

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are relatively recent materials. They have received great attention due to their interesting properties. However, the application of microwaves in their synthesis, despite its advantages such as faster and more reproducible processes, is a minority. Herein, a comprehensive compilation of the research results published in the microwave-assisted synthesis (MAS) of COFs is presented. This review includes articles of 2D and 3D COFs prepared using microwaves as source of energy. The articles have been classified depending on the functional groups including boronate ester, imines, enamines, azines, and triazines, among others. It compiles the main parameters of synthesis and characteristics of the materials together with some general issues related with COFs and microwaves. Additionally, current and future perspectives of the topic have been discussed.

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have been of increasing interest in the past decade due to their porous structures that ideally can be highly ordered. One of the most common routes to these polymers relies on Schiff-base chemistry, i.e., the condensation reaction between a carbonyl and an amine. In this report, we elaborate on the condensation of 3,6-dibromobenzene-1,2,4,5-tetraamine with hexaketocyclohexane (HKH) and the subsequent carbonylation of the resulting COF, along with the possibility that the condensation reaction on HKH can result in a trans configuration resulting in the formation of a disordered 2D-COF. This strategy enables modification of COFs via bromine substitution reactions to place functional groups within the pores of the materials. Ion-sieving measurements using membranes from this COF, reaction of small molecules with unreacted keto groups along with modeling studies indicate disorder in the COF polymerization process. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation that demonstrates the influence of even small amounts of disorder upon both the 2D and 3D structure of the resulting COF.

Abstract
Inorganic microporous materials have shown promise for the fabrication of membranes with chemical stability and resistance to high temperatures. Silicon-carbide (SiC) has been widely studied due to its outstanding mechanical stability under high temperatures and its resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This study is the first to prepare mesoporous SiC membranes for use in sulphuric acid decomposition to achieve thermochemical water splitting in the iodine–sulfur process. Single-gas permeation was carried out to confirm the stability of this mesoporous membrane under exposure to steam and H2SO4 vapor. Benefiting from the excellent chemical stability of the α-Al2O3 membrane support and the SiC particle layer, the SiC membrane exhibited stable gas permeance without significant degradation under H2SO4 vapor treatment at 600 °C. Additionally, with extraction, the membrane reactor exhibited an increased conversion from 25 to 41% for H2SO4 decomposition at 600 °C. The high performance combined with outstanding stability under acidic conditions suggests the developed SiC membrane is a promising candidate for H2SO4 decomposition in a catalytic membrane reactor. In the present study, SiC particles derived mesoporous membrane was discovered and applied to membrane reactor for H2SO4 decomposition. The reaction equilibrium was moved the to the product side by membrane reactor with extraction at 600 °C.![]()

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are increasingly utilized as doping agents for the design of advanced ultrafiltration mixed matrix membranes, thanks to their prominent nanoporosity and excellent polymer compatibility. However, current strategies are largely limited in the complicated postaddition of neutral COF particulates. Herein, cationic COFs, namely, TpEB, with sizes down to ∼39 nm are in situ synthesized in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solution as crystalline fillers for the production of highly permeable TpEB-PAN ultrafiltration membranes. After the condensation of monomer pairs, the growth of cationic TpEB crystallites is restrained due to the electrostatic interaction with negatively charged PAN chains, leading to the formation of a homogeneous TpEB-incorporated casting solution. During the subsequent nonsolvent-induced phase separation process, TpEB crystallites facilitate exchange between the solvent and the nonsolvent because of their hydrophilic and nanoporous nature, accelerating the rate of phase inversion to form a highly porous membrane surface. Thus-prepared TpEB-PAN membranes deliver a tight rejection of BSA with water permeance of up to 380 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, which is 35.6% higher than that of the original PAN membranes prepared without TpEB. The TpEB-PAN membranes also exhibit enhanced operation stabilities and fouling resistances. This in situ growth strategy suggests a new avenue for the preparation of advanced mixed matrix membranes.

Abstract
In the wake of sustainable development, materials research is going through a green revolution that is putting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials and methods in the limelight. In this quest for greener alternatives, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new generation of designable crystalline porous polymers for a wide array of clean-energy and environmental applications. In this contribution, we categorically review the merits and shortcomings of COF bulk powders, nanosheets, freestanding thin films/membranes, and membranes on porous supports in various separation processes, including separation of gases, pervaporation, organic solvent nanofiltration, water purification, radionuclide sequestration, and chiral separations, with particular reference to COF material pore size, host–guest interactions, stability, selectivity, and permeability. This review covers the fabrication strategies of nanosheets, films, and membranes, as well as performance parameters, and provides an overview of the separation landscape with COFs in relation to other porous polymers, while seeking to interpret the future research opportunities in this field.

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
Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes have found great application in sewage purification and desalination due to their high permeation flux and high rejection rate for contaminants under low-pressure conditions, but the flux and antifouling ability of UF membranes needs to be improved. Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) has good hydrophilicity, and it is protonated under strongly acidic conditions and then forms strong hydrogen bonds with N, O and S, so that the TCPP would be well anchored in the membrane. In this work, NaHCO3 was used to dissolve TCPP and TMC (trimesoyl chloride) was used to produce a strong acid. Then, TCPP was modified in a membrane with a different rejection rate by a method similar to interfacial polymerization. Performance tests of TCPP/polysulfone (PSf) membranes show that for the membrane with a high BSA (bovine serum albumin) rejection, when the ratio of NaHCO3 to TCPP is 16:1 (wt.%), the pure water flux of membrane Z1 16:1 is increased by 34% (from 455 to 614 Lm-2h-1bar-1) while the membrane retention was maintained above 95%. As for the membrane with a low BSA rejection, when the ratio of NaHCO3 to TCPP was 32:1, the rejection of membrane B2 32:1 was found to increase from 81% to 96%. Although the flux of membrane B2 32:1 decreased, it remained at 638 Lm-2h-1bar-1, which is comparable to the reported polymer ultrafiltration membrane. The above dual results are thought to be attributed to the synergistic effect of protonated TCPP and NaHCO3, where the former increases membrane flux and the latter increases the membrane rejection rate. This work provides a way for the application of porphyrin and porphyrin framework materials in membrane separation.

Abstract
In this work, a new protocol was developed for creating charge-tuned, hydrophilic hybrid ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with high flux, rejection rate, and fouling resistance. The membranes were fabricated using a combination of sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES) and aminated graphene (GO-SiO2-NH2) nanohybrid via the non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method. The GO-SiO2-NH2 nanohybrid was first synthesized using GO nanosheets and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) through the covalent condensation reaction at 80 °C and was thoroughly characterized. Then, 2-8 wt% of the nanohybrid was incorporated into the matrix of SPES for the fabrication of the hybrid membranes. The resulting membranes were characterized using an electrokinetic analyzer, a contact angle goniometer, and Raman, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (FESEM-EDX), and atomic force microscopy experiments. The porosity, charge density, and surface morphology were altered, and the hybrid membranes became more hydrophilic after the incorporation of the nanohybrid. The pure water flux of the hybrid membranes systematically increased with the loading amount of the nanohybrid. The pure water flux of the hybrid membrane containing 6 wt% GO-SiO2-NH2 nanohybrid at a 2 bar feed pressure was 537 L m-2 h-1, about 3-fold that of pristine membrane (186 L m-2 h-1). The fouling resistance of the hybrid membranes was evaluated and confirmed using several representative foulants, including bovine serum albumin, humic acid, sodium alginate, and a synthetic solution of natural organic matter (NOM). The fabricated membranes were capable of removing more than 97% of NOM, without a compromise of their rejection rate.
