Abstract
Metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for addressing critical issues such as petrochemical separation, water purification, energy storage and drug delivery. Their large-scale deployment, however, is hampered by a limited processability due to their powdery nature. Recently, the hybridization of MOFs with biopolymers has emerged as a greener, biocompatible strategy to shape MOFs composites into more processable membranes, films, and porous materials. In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were used in combination with ZIF-8 (a widely used synthetic zeolite) to produce hybrid composites through ultrafiltration. Results showed that small quantities of CNCs (1 to 20 CNC:ZIF-8 volume ratio) were sufficient to form a self-supported, dense deposit with high ZIF-8 loadings. Compared to classical MOF in situ growth strategies, this approach allowed the tuning of the composition of the final nanocomposite by controlling the nature and quantities of particles in the suspension. The fabrication of the deposit was strongly dependent on the physiochemical properties of the suspension, which were fully characterized with a set of complementary techniques, including in situ SAXS. This technique was employed to investigate the filtration process, which exhibited a homogeneous deposition of ZIF-8 particles mediated by CNC self-assembly. Finally, the available pore volume and integrity of the internal porosity of ZIF-8 were characterized by water porosimetry, demonstrating that the presence of CNCs did not alter the properties of the supported ZIF-8.

Cascaded compression of size distribution of nanopores in monolayer graphene. Nature 2023; 623:956-963.

Abstract
Monolayer graphene with nanometre-scale pores, atomically thin thickness and remarkable mechanical properties provides wide-ranging opportunities for applications in ion and molecular separations1, energy storage2 and electronics3. Because the performance of these applications relies heavily on the size of the nanopores, it is desirable to design and engineer with precision a suitable nanopore size with narrow size distributions. However, conventional top-down processes often yield log-normal distributions with long tails, particularly at the sub-nanometre scale4. Moreover, the size distribution and density of the nanopores are often intrinsically intercorrelated, leading to a trade-off between the two that substantially limits their applications5-9. Here we report a cascaded compression approach to narrowing the size distribution of nanopores with left skewness and ultrasmall tail deviation, while keeping the density of nanopores increasing at each compression cycle. The formation of nanopores is split into many small steps, in each of which the size distribution of all the existing nanopores is compressed by a combination of shrinkage and expansion and, at the same time as expansion, a new batch of nanopores is created, leading to increased nanopore density by each cycle. As a result, high-density nanopores in monolayer graphene with a left-skewed, short-tail size distribution are obtained that show ultrafast and ångström-size-tunable selective transport of ions and molecules, breaking the limitation of the conventional log-normal size distribution9,10. This method allows for independent control of several metrics of the generated nanopores, including the density, mean diameter, standard deviation and skewness of the size distribution, which will lead to the next leap in nanotechnology.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124672.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be used as adsorbent to efficiently adsorb organic pollutants. However, the hydrophobicity of the ZIFs may be easily to form ZIFs nanoparticles aggregates, hampering the effective and practical application in adsorption. In this study, novel spherical composites of ZIF-8 incorporated with lignosulfonate (LS) were synthesized by in-situ growth method. The effects of different mass ratios of LS and Zn in ZIF-8-LS composites were evaluated with respect to structural characteristics and adsorption properties. As an adsorbent for adsorptive removing Congo Red (CR) and tetracycline (TC) from water, the prepared ZIF-8-LS4 shows the best adsorption capacity of 31.5 mg g-1 and 48 mg g-1, respectively. The spherical structure facilitates the contact between the ZIF-8 and the adsorbed substance, in addition to the H-bonding, electrostatic and π-π stacking interactions also contribute to the improvement of the adsorption performance of the ZIF-8-LS4 composite. The outstanding adsorption capacity and good reusability of the ZIF-8-LS4 composite provide a good prospect for the effective removal of other contaminants from water.

Organic solvent-free constructing of stable zeolitic imidazolate framework functional layer enhanced by halloysite nanotubes and polyvinyl alcohol on polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber membranes for treating dyeing wastewater. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 636:378-387.

Abstract
In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) loose nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by constructing ZIF-8 functional layer on the PVDF supporting membranes based on the vacuum-assisted assembly process. The ZIF-8 synthesis was completed in a water system, and the synthesized ZIF-8 suspension was directly added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) aqueous solution system without drying to prepare the casting solution, which could solve the agglomeration and poor dispersion problem of ZIF-8 particles. In addition, the embedded HNTs and the loaded PVA among the ZIF-8 layer could improve the bonding strength between the ZIF-8 layer and the supporting membranes. After constructing ZIF-8 functional layer, the pore size of supporting membranes decreased from more than 300 nm to several nanometers. Furthermore, the water contact angle reduced from 91.1° to 54.2°. Applied to treat dye wastewater, the prepared ZIF-8/PVDF membranes maintained high dye rejection (˃99.0 %) for Congo red (CR), but low salt rejection for NaCl (about 2 %). In addition, the flux could reach 21.6 L m-2h-1 after continuous filtration 360 min, exhibiting a potential for treating the dye/salt wastewater. In particular, there were no organic solvents used in the work, which provided a promising idea for solvent-free fabrication of loose NF membranes.

Abstract
Graphyne and its family members (GFMs) are allotropes of carbon (a class of 2D materials) having unique properties in form of structures, pores and atom hybridizations. Owing to their unique properties, GFMs have been widely utilized in various practical and theoretical applications. In the past decade, GFMs have received considerable attention in the area of water purification and desalination, especially in theoretical and computational aspects. More recently, GFMs have shown greater prospects in achieving optimal separation performance than the experimentally derived commercial polyamide membranes. In this review, recent theoretical and computational advances made in the GFMs research as it relates to water purification and desalination are summarized. Brief details on the properties of GFMs and the commonly used computational methods were described. More specifically, we systematically reviewed the various computational approaches employed with emphasis on the predicted permeability and selectivity of the GFM membranes. Finally, the current challenges limiting their large-scale practical applications coupled with the possible research directions for overcoming the challenges are proposed.

Abstract
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) is an emerging technology for the separation of organic solvents that are relevant to the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and fine chemical industries. The separation performance of OSN membranes has continued to push the boundary up through advanced membrane fabrication techniques and novel materials for fabricating the membranes. Despite the many advantages, OSN membranes still face such challenges as low solvent permeability and durability in harsh organic solvent conditions. To overcome these limitations, attempts have been made to incorporate nanomaterial fillers into OSN membranes to improve their overall performance. This review analyzes the potential and use of nanomaterials for OSN membranes, including covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides (MOs) and carbon-based materials (CBMs). Recent advances in the state-of-the-art nano-based OSN membranes, in the form of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes and mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), are reviewed. Moreover, the separation mechanisms of OSN with nano-based membranes are discussed. The challenges faced by these OSN membranes are also elaborated, and recommendations for further research in this field are provided.

Abstract
Membrane-based separations have garnered considerable attention owing to their high energy efficiency, low capital cost, small carbon footprint, and continuous operation mode. As a class of highly porous crystalline materials with well-defined pore systems and rich chemical functionalities, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated great potential as promising membrane materials over the past few years. Different types of MOF-based membranes, including polycrystalline membranes, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), and nanosheet-based membranes, have been developed for diversified applications with remarkable separation performances. In this comprehensive review, we first discuss the general classification of membranes and outline the historical development of MOF-based membranes. Subsequently, particular attention is devoted to design strategies for MOF-based membranes, along with detailed discussions on the latest advances on these membranes for various gas and liquid separation processes. Finally, challenges and future opportunities for the industrial implementation of these membranes are identified and outlined with the intent of providing insightful guidance on the design and fabrication of high-performance membranes in the future.

Abstract
The study deals with the investigation of the effect of the modification of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) flat sheet membranes for ultrafiltration using oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNT) in order to enhance membrane permeability and antifouling performance. The effect of O-MWCNT loading to the PPSU-polyethylene glycol (PEG-20,000, Mn = 20,000 g·mol−1)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K-30, Mn = 40,000 g·mol−1)-N-methy-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) colloid systems on the phase state and viscosity was studied. It was found that PPSU-PEG-20,000-PVP K-30-O-MWCNT-NMP colloid systems feature a gel point (T = 35–37 °C) and demixing temperature (T = 127–129 °C) at which two bulk phases are formed and a polymer system delaminates. According to the study of the phase state and viscosity of these colloid systems, a method for the preparation of high flux PPSU membranes is proposed which includes processing of the casting solution at the temperature higher than gel point (40 °C) and using a coagulation bath temperature lower than gel point (25 °C) or lower than demixing temperature (40 °C and 70 °C). Membrane structure, topology and hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle measurements. The effect of coagulation bath temperature and O-MWCNT concentration on the membrane separation and antifouling performance in ultrafiltration of human serum albumin and humic acids solutions was studied. It was found that the modification of PPSU ultrafiltration membranes by O-MWCNTs yielded the formation of a thinner selective layer and hydrophilization of the membrane surface (water contact angle decreased from 53–56° for the reference PPSU membrane down to 33° for the nanocomposite membrane with the addition of 0.19 wt.% O-MWCNT). These changes resulted in the increase in membrane flux (from 203–605 L·m−2·h−1 at transmembrane pressure of 0.1 MPa for the reference membrane up to 512–983 L·m−2·h−1 for nanocomposite membrane with the addition of 0.19 wt.% O-MWCNT depending on coagulation bath temperature) which significantly surpasses the performance of PPSU ultrafiltration membranes reported to date while maintaining a high level of human serum albumin rejection (83–92%). It was revealed that nanocomposite membrane demonstrated better antifouling performance (the flux recovery ratio increased from 47% for the reference PPSU membrane up to 62% for the nanocomposite membrane) and higher total organic carbon removal compared to the reference PPSU membrane in humic acids solution ultrafiltration.

Abstract
The aggravation of environmental problems such as water scarcity and air pollution has called upon the need for a sustainable solution globally. Membrane technology, owing to its simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, has emerged as one of the favorable technologies for water and air purification. Among all of the membrane configurations, hollow fiber membranes hold promise due to their outstanding packing density and ease of module assembly. Herein, this review systematically outlines the fundamentals of hollow fiber membranes, which comprise the structural analyses and phase inversion mechanism. Furthermore, illustrations of the latest advances in the fabrication of organic, inorganic, and composite hollow fiber membranes are presented. Key findings on the utilization of hollow fiber membranes in microfiltration (MF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO), pervaporation, gas and vapor separation, membrane distillation, and membrane contactor are also reported. Moreover, the applications in nuclear waste treatment and biomedical fields such as hemodialysis and drug delivery are emphasized. Subsequently, the emerging R&D areas, precisely on green fabrication and modification techniques as well as sustainable materials for hollow fiber membranes, are highlighted. Last but not least, this review offers invigorating perspectives on the future directions for the design of next-generation hollow fiber membranes for various applications. As such, the comprehensive and critical insights gained in this review are anticipated to provide a new research doorway to stimulate the future development and optimization of hollow fiber membranes.

Abstract
Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) membranes are of fundamental importance for many applications such as water treatment, gas separation, energy, electronics, and biomedicine, due to their low cost, controlled crystallinity, chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. Numerous research studies have shown that modifying surface properties of PPSU membranes influences their stability and functionality. Therefore, the modification of the PPSU membrane surface is a pressing issue for both research and industrial communities. In this review, various surface modification methods and processes along with their mechanisms and performance are considered starting from 2002. There are three main approaches to the modification of PPSU membranes. The first one is bulk modifications, and it includes functional groups inclusion via sulfonation, amination, and chloromethylation. The second is blending with polymer (for instance, blending nanomaterials and biopolymers). Finally, the third one deals with physical and chemical surface modifications. Obviously, each method has its own limitations and advantages that are outlined below. Generally speaking, modified PPSU membranes demonstrate improved physical and chemical properties and enhanced performance. The advancements in PPSU modification have opened the door for the advance of membrane technology and multiple prospective applications.

Abstract
Forward osmosis membranes have a wide range of applications in the field of water treatment. However, the application of seawater desalination is restricted, so the research of forward osmosis membranes for seawater desalination poses new challenges. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was synthesized by a mechanical stirring method, and its crystal structure, surface morphology, functional group characteristics, thermochemical stability, pore size distribution and specific surface area were analyzed. The cellulose acetate (CA)/ZIF-8 mixed matrix forward osmosis membrane was prepared by using the synthesized ZIF-8 as a modified additive. The effects of the additive ZIF-8 content, coagulation bath temperature, mixing temperature and heat treatment temperature on the properties of the CA/ZIF-8 forward osmosis membrane were systematically studied, and the causes were analyzed to determine the best membrane preparation parameters. The structure of the CA membrane and CA/ZIF-8 mixed matrix forward osmosis membranes prepared under the optimal conditions were characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle and Atomic force microscope (AFM). Finally, the properties of the HTI membrane (Membrane manufactured by Hydration Technology Innovations Inc.), CA forward osmosis membrane and CA/ZIF-8 mixed matrix forward osmosis membrane were compared under laboratory conditions. For the CA membrane, the water flux and reverse salt flux reached 48.85 L·m-2·h-1 and 3.4 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. The reverse salt flux and water flux of the CA/ZIF-8 membrane are 2.84 g·m-2·h-1 and 50.14 L·m-2·h-1, respectively. ZIF-8 has a promising application in seawater desalination.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanofiltration is widely used for water treatment due to its advantages, such as energy-saving, sustainability, high efficiency, and compact equipment. In the present work, novel nanofiltration membranes based on the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 modified by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-MIL-140A and MIL-125-were developed to increase nanofiltration efficiency for the removal of heavy metal ions and dyes. The structural and physicochemical properties of the developed PIM-1 and PIM-1/MOFs membranes were studied by the spectroscopic technique (FTIR), microscopic methods (SEM and AFM), and contact angle measurement. Transport properties of the developed PIM-1 and PIM-1/MOFs membranes were evaluated in the nanofiltration of the model and real mixtures containing food dyes and heavy metal ions. It was found that the introduction of MOFs (MIL-140A and MIL-125) led to an increase in membrane permeability. It was demonstrated that the membranes could be used to remove and concentrate the food dyes and heavy metal ions from model and real mixtures.

Abstract
Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been widely developed as an attractive solution to overcome the drawbacks found in most polymer membranes, such as permeability-selectivity trade-off and low physicochemical stability. Numerous fillers based on inorganic, organic, and hybrid materials with various structures including porous or nonporous, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional, have been used. Demanded to further improve the characteristics and performances of the MMMs, the use of dual-filler instead of a single filler has then been proposed, from which multiple effects could be obtained. This article aims to review the recent development of MMMs with dual filler and discuss their performances in diverse potential applications. Challenges in this emerging field and outlook for future research are finally provided.

Abstract
Nanosized titanium oxide (TiO2)-based photocatalysts have exhibited great potential for the degradation of organic contaminants, while their weak absorption of visible light limits the photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, a novel reduced graphene oxide/TiO2-polyphenylenesulfone (rGO/TiO2-PPSU) hybrid ultrafiltration membrane has been successfully prepared via a non-solvent induced phase-separation method, in which the synergistic coupling between the rGO and TiO2 could endowed the fabricated membranes with visible-light-driven efficient photocatalytically degradation of organic pollutants and outstanding photocatalytic and antifouling properties. Compared with the PPSU membranes prepared with Graphene oxide and TiO2, respectively, the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane demonstrated significant photodegradation towards phenazopyridine hydrochloride (PhP) solution under ultraviolet light (improved about 71 and 43%) and visible light (improved about 153 and 103%). The permeability and flux recovery rates of the membrane indicated that the high flux of the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane can be greatly restored after fouling, due to the improved self-cleaning properties under visible light static irradiation. With the properties of high performance of photocatalytic degradation and good self-cleaning ability, the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane would have great potential in water treatment.

Abstract
Although various polymer membrane materials have been applied to gas separation, there is a trade-off relationship between permeability and selectivity, limiting their wider applications. In this paper, the relationship between the gas permeation behavior of polyphenylsulfone(PPSU)-based materials and their chemical structure for gas separation has been systematically investigated. A PPSU homopolymer and three kinds of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-biphenol (TMBP)-based polyphenylsulfone (TMPPSf) copolymers were synthesized by controlling the TMBP content. As the TMPPSf content increases, the inter-molecular chain distance (or d-spacing value) increases. Data from positron annihilation life-time spectroscopy (PALS) indicate the copolymer with a higher TMPPSf content has a larger fractional free volume (FFV). The logarithm of their O2, N2, CO2, and CH4 permeability was found to increase linearly with an increase in TMPPSf content but decrease linearly with increasing 1/FFV. The enhanced permeability results from the increases in both sorption coefficient and gas diffusivity of copolymers. Interestingly, the gas permeability increases while the selectivity stays stable due to the presence of methyl groups in TMPPSf, which not only increases the free volume but also rigidifies the polymer chains. This study may provide a new strategy to break the trade-off law and increase the permeability of polymer materials largely.

Abstract
Solvent separation and dehydration are important operations for industries and laboratories. Processes such as distillation and extraction are not always effective and are energy-consuming. An alternate approach is offered by pervaporation, based on the solution-diffusion transport mechanism. Polymer-based membranes such as those made of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have offered good pervaporation performance. Attempts have been made to improve their performance by incorporating inorganic fillers into the PDMS matrix, in which metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be the most efficient. Among the MOFs, Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) based membranes have shown an excellent performance, with high values for flux and separation factors. Various studies have been conducted, employing ZIF-PDMS membranes for pervaporation separation of mixtures such as aqueous-alcoholic solutions. This paper presents an extensive review of the pervaporation performance of ZIF-based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), novel synthesis methods, filler modifications, factors affecting membrane performance as well as studies based on polymers other than PDMS for the membrane matrix. Some suggestions for future studies have also been provided, such as the use of biopolymers and self-healing membranes.

Abstract
In the last two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted overwhelming attention. With readily tunable structures and functionalities, MOFs offer an unprecedentedly vast degree of design flexibility from enormous number of inorganic and organic building blocks or via postsynthetic modification to produce functional nanoporous materials. A large extent of experimental and computational studies of MOFs have been focused on gas phase applications, particularly the storage of low-carbon footprint energy carriers and the separation of CO2-containing gas mixtures. With progressive success in the synthesis of water- and solvent-resistant MOFs over the past several years, the increasingly active exploration of MOFs has been witnessed for widespread liquid phase applications such as liquid fuel purification, aromatics separation, water treatment, solvent recovery, chemical sensing, chiral separation, drug delivery, biomolecule encapsulation and separation. At this juncture, the recent experimental and computational studies are summarized herein for these multifaceted liquid phase applications to demonstrate the rapid advance in this burgeoning field. The challenges and opportunities moving from laboratory scale towards practical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Due to their precisely modifiable microporosity and chemical functionality, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have revolutionized catalysis, separations, gas storage, drug delivery, and sensors. However, because of their rigid and brittle powder morphology, it is challenging to build customizable MOF shapes with tunable mechanical properties. Here, we describe a new three-dimensional (3D) printing approach to create stretchable and tough MOF hydrogel structures with tunable mechanical properties. We formulate a printable ink by combining prepolymers of a versatile double network (DN) hydrogel of acrylamide and alginate, a shear-thinning agent, and MOF ligands. Importantly, by simultaneous cross-linking of alginate and in situ growth of the HKUST-1 using copper ions, we are able to create composites with high MOF dispersity in the DN hydrogel matrix with high pore accessibility. We extensively characterize the inks and uncover parameters to tune modulus, strength, and toughness of the 3D prints. We also demonstrate the excellent performance of the MOF hydrogels for dye absorption. Our approach incorporates all of the advantageous attributes of 3D printing while offering a rational approach to merge stretchable hydrogels and MOFs, and our findings are of broad relevance to wearables, implantable and flexible sensors, chemical separations, and soft robotics.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) provide a unique pathway to treat hazardous industrial effluents. MMMs containing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as filler in polydimethoxysilane (PDMS) matrix were synthesized. ZIF-8 was prepared using a modified recipe and characterized by different techniques to evaluate its morphology, thermal stability, surface area, pore volume, and other characteristics. The performance of membranes was evaluated for their application in industrial dye-stuff wastewater treatment and solvent-resistant nanofiltration. The results demonstrated that increase in the percentage of ZIF-8 loading in PDMS led to simultaneous increase in the solvent permeability as well as solute rejection from wastewater. The permeability of MMMs increased up to 32% as compared with neat PDMS membrane. The organic dye rejection was achieved more than 87% with MMMs incorporated with 20% loading of nanofillers. Rejection of MMMs was 22% higher than that of unfilled PDMS membrane due to the effect of reduced polymer swelling and size exclusion of the nanofillers. Membrane swelling tests with toluene and isopropanol demonstrated that nanofiller amount has inverse relation with membrane swelling, which implied that nanofillers were in good interaction with polymer and allowed defect free membranes with higher solute rejections and reduced membrane swelling.
