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.

[PMID: 38611894 PMCID: PMC11013246 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The sustainable management of wastewater through recycling and utilization stands as a pressing concern in the trajectory of societal advancement. Prioritizing the elimination of diverse organic contaminants is paramount in wastewater treatment, garnering significant attention from researchers worldwide. Emerging metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), bridging organic and inorganic attributes, have surfaced as novel adsorbents, showcasing pivotal potential in wastewater remediation. Nevertheless, challenges like limited water stability, elevated dissolution rates, and inadequate hydrophobicity persist in the context of wastewater treatment. To enhance the performance of MOFs, they can be modified through chemical or physical methods, and combined with membrane materials as additives to create membrane composite materials. These membrane composites, derived from MOFs, exhibit remarkable characteristics including enhanced porosity, adjustable pore dimensions, superior permeability, optimal conductivity, and robust water stability. Their ability to effectively sequester organic compounds has spurred significant research in this field. This paper introduces methods for enhancing the performance of MOFs and explores their potential applications in water treatment. It delves into the detailed design, synthesis strategies, and fabrication of composite membranes using MOFs. Furthermore, it focuses on the application prospects, challenges, and opportunities associated with MOF composite membranes in water treatment.

Abstract
Membrane separation plays a crucial role in the current increasingly complex energy environment. Membranes prepared by metal-organic framework (MOF) materials usually possess unique advantages in common, such as uniform pore size, ultra-high porosity, enhanced selectivity and throughput, and excellent adsorption property, which have been contributed to the separation fields. In this comprehensive review, we summarize various designs and synthesized strategies of free-standing MOF and composite MOF-based membranes for water treatment. Special emphases are given not only on the effects of MOF on membrane performance, removal efficiencies, and elimination mechanisms, but also on the importance of MOF-based membranes for the applications of oily and micro-pollutant removal, adsorption, separation, and catalysis. The challenges and opportunities in the future for the industrial implementation of MOF-based membranes are also discussed.

Graphitic carbon nitride membranes intercalated with nano-sized Fe-MOF for enhanced water purification via synergistic separation and Fenton-like processes. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139937. [PMID: 37619754 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Versatile two-dimensional nanomaterials have offered a promising prospect to enhance the water purification efficiency and overcome the fouling obstacle in membrane technology. In this work, a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet membrane intercalated with the nano-sized Fe-based metal-organic framework (MIL-100(Fe)) is developed for the enhanced removal of aqueous organic contaminants by synergically promoting separation and Fenton-like processes. The g-C3N4/MIL-100(Fe) membrane is constructed through a self-assembly route in which the nano-MIL-100(Fe) is anchored into g-C3N4 layers by the coordination bonds between Fe nodes and pyridinic N. The MIL-100(Fe) intercalation not only enlarges the interlayer spacing to raise the membrane permeability, but also expedites the electron transfer between Fe2+ and Fe3+ to improve the Fenton-like activity. With a stable water flux of 98.2 L m2·h-1·bar-1 under wide-range pH and pressures, the g-C3N4/MIL-100(Fe) membrane shows high dye removal efficiency (≥99%) and prominent self-cleaning ability. Mechanism insight proposes a combination of size exclusion, electrostatic interaction and steady radical generation. The intercalation of nano-MIL-100(Fe) into g-C3N4 membranes can realize the mutual promotion between separation and Fenton-like processes, the synergistic effect of which provides an effective and feasible strategy for aqueous pollution abatement.

Abstract
In existing separation membranes, it is difficult to quickly produce large-area graphene oxide (GO) nanofiltration membranes with high permeability and high rejection, which is the bottleneck of industrialization. In this study, a pre-crosslinking rod-coating technique is reported. A GO-P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) suspension was obtained by chemically crosslinking GO and PPD for 180 min. After scraping and coating with a Mayer rod, the ultra-thin GO-PPD nanofiltration membrane with an area of 400 cm2 and a thickness of 40 nm was prepared in 30 s. The PPD formed an amide bond with GO to improve its stability. It also increased the layer spacing of GO membrane, which could improve the permeability. The prepared GO nanofiltration membrane had a 99 % rejection rate for dyes such as methylene blue, crystal violet, and Congo red. Meanwhile, the permeation flux reached to 42 LMH/bar, which was 10 times that of the GO membrane without PPD crosslinking, and it still maintained excellent stability under strongly acidic and basic conditions. This work successfully solved the problems of GO nanofiltration membranes, including the large-area fabrication, high permeability and high rejection.

Abstract
Problems such as increasingly serious water pollution attracted widespread concern. The underwater OCAs of the samples became larger with increasing pH and the under-oil WCAs of the samples did not vary regularly with increasing pH. Nanoneedle structures were grown on metal foam by anodization. Cellulose is fixed to the frame by cross-linking with supramolecular binder poly(vinyl alcohol)/tannin. A cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)/tannin porous composite framework with special wettability is prepared. This porous composite framework can be used for the continuous separation of oil/water mixtures with high separation efficiency, high throughput, excellent reusability, and mechanical durability. In addition, due to the coating of cellulose and the supramolecular binder, the pore size of the frame is reduced, and the cagelike structure of the porous framework can promote its demulsification effect. Therefore, the cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)/tannic acid porous composite frame can also be used for the separation of oil/water emulsions. This porous frame material has broad application prospects in oil spill treatment and sewage purification.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple solvothermal synthesis method was proposed for the preparation of metal organic framework/graphene oxide hybrid nanocomposite (UiO-67/GO). A series of UiO-67/GO composites were prepared by varying the addition forms and amounts of GO, and the optimal synthesis conditions were screened. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS), water contact angles (CA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption capacity and the adsorption process of toluene were investigated by dynamic adsorption and adsorption kinetics, respectively. The results indicated that 67/GO-0.5% reached the maximum adsorption capacity (876 mg g-1), which far exceeded the other adsorbents. Kinetic model and the Weber-Morris model correlated satisfactorily to the experimental data. The improved adsorption performance was attributed to GO, which enhanced π-π interaction, promoted defect generation and provided more adsorption sites. Finally, the excellent regeneration performance of the adsorbent was verified by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and cyclic adsorption-desorption experiments. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism was further revealed. Combined with the related adsorption experiments and the density functional theory (DFT) analysis, the efficient removal of toluene by UiO-67/GO was attributed to the cooperation of defects, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are significantly tunable materials that can be exploited in a wide range of applications. In recent years, a large number of studies have been focused on synthesizing nano-scale MOFs (nanoMOFs), thus taking advantage of these unique materials in various applications, especially those that are only possible at nano-scale. One of the technologies where nanoMOF materials occupy a central role is the membrane technology as one of the most efficient separation techniques. Therefore, numerous reports can be found on the enhancement of the physicochemical properties of polymeric membranes by using nanoMOFs, leading to remarkably improved performance. One of the most considerable applications of these nanoMOF-based membranes is in water treatment systems, because freshwater scarcity is now an undeniable crisis facing humanity. In this in-depth review, the most prominent synthesis and post-synthesis methods for the fabrication of nanoMOFs are initially discussed. Afterwards, different nanoMOF-based composite membranes such as thin-film nanocomposites (TFN) and mixed-matrix membranes (MMM) and their various fabrication methods are reviewed and compared. Then, the impacts of using MOFs-based membranes for water purification through growing metal-organic frameworks crystals on the support materials and utilization of metal-organic frameworks as fillers in mixed matrix membrane (MMM) are highlighted. Finally, a summary of pros and cons of using nanoMOFs in membrane technology for water treatment purposes and clear future prospects and research potentials are presented.

Abstract
Graphene-based layered materials have got significant interest in membrane technology for water desalination, gas separation, organic nanofiltration, pervaporation, proton exchange applications, etc. and show remarkable results. Up to date, various methods have been developed for fabrication of high performance membrane. Most of them are only suitable for research purposes, but not appropriate for mass transport barrier and membrane applications that require large-area synthesis. In this comprehensive review, we summarized the current synthesis and fabrication methods of graphene-based membranes. Emphasis will be given on fabrication of both graphene-based nanoporous and lamellar membranes. Finally, we discuss the current engineering hurdles and future research directions yet to be explored for fabrication of such membranes.

Abstract
Tremendous progress in two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial chemistry affords abundant opportunities for the sustainable development of membranes and membrane processes. In this review, we propose the concept of mixed dimensional membranes (MDMs), which are fabricated through the integration of 2D materials with nanomaterials of different dimensionality and chemistry. Complementing mixed matrix membranes or hybrid membranes, MDMs stimulate different conceptual thinking about designing advanced membranes from the angle of the dimensions of the building blocks as well as the final structures, including the nanochannels and the bulk structures. In this review, we survey MDMs (denoted nD/2D, where n is 0, 1 or 3) in terms of the dimensions of membrane-forming nanomaterials, as well as their fabrication methods. Subsequently, we highlight three kinds of nanochannels, which are 1D nanochannels within 1D/2D membranes, 2D nanochannels within 0D/2D membranes, and 3D nanochannels within 3D/2D membranes. Strategies to tune the physical and chemical microenvironments of the nanochannels as well as the bulk structures based on the size, type, structure and chemical character of nanomaterials are discussed. Some representative applications of MDMs are illustrated for gas molecular separations, liquid molecular separations, ionic separations and oil/water separation. Finally, current challenges and a future perspective on MDMs are presented.

Abstract
Thin film composite (TFC) membranes of the prototypical polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) have been prepared by dip-coating on a highly porous electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous support. Prior to coating, the support was impregnated in a non-solvent to avoid the penetration of PIM-1 inside the PVDF network. Different non-solvents were considered and the results were compared with those of the dry support. When applied for the separation of n-butanol/water mixtures by pervaporation (PV), the developed membranes exhibited very high permeate fluxes, in the range of 16.1-35.4 kg m-2 h-1, with an acceptable n-butanol/water separation factor of about 8. The PV separation index (PSI) of the prepared membranes is around 115, which is among the highest PSI values that have been reported so far. Hybrid PV-distillation systems have been designed and modeled in Aspen HYSYS using Aspen Custom Modeler for setting up the PIM-1 TFC and commercial PDMS membranes as a benchmark. The butanol recovery cost for the hybrid systems is compared with a conventional stand-alone distillation process used for n-butanol/water separation, and a 10% reduction in recovery cost was obtained.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) based membranes are promising for advanced nanofiltration in water treatments but there is a need to improve water flux and membrane stability. Although the interlayer distance of GO membranes can be expanded using intercalants to improve permeability, achieving uniform intercalation without the added complication of water-induced swelling is challenging. Herein, we report the fabrication of GO hybrid lamellar membranes with controllable layer structures to achieve high performance in nanofiltration. The interlayer spacing of the GO hybrid membrane is regulated using TiO2 intercalants of different sizes, while the stability of GO membranes is enhanced by encapsulating with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The optimal composite membrane delivers a pure water-flux up to 26.0 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 with a 99.9% rejection of methylene blue and eosin under an ultra-low pressure nanofiltration condition. More importantly, the composite membrane sustains good cycling stability after 5 filtration cycles of dye, which enables the potential industrial application in realizing ultra-stable GO based membranes.

Abstract
Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have attracted widespread attention due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, abundant metal active sites and excellent hydrothermal stability. However, Zr-MOFs materials are mostly powdery in nature and thus difficult to separate from aqueous media, which limits their application in wastewater treatment. In this study, PDA/Zr-MOFs/PU foam was constructed by growing Zr-MOFs nanoparticles on a dopamine-modified polyurethane foam substrate by in-situ hydrothermal synthesis as an adsorbent for removing dyes from wastewater. The results demonstrated that the polydopamine coating improves the dispersion of the Zr-MOFs nanoparticles on the substrate and enhances the interaction between the Zr-MOFs nanoparticles and the PU foam substrate. As a result, compared with Zr-MOFs/PU foam, the prepared PDA/Zr-MOFs/PU foam exhibits higher adsorption capacity for crystal violet (CV) (63.38 mg/g) and rhodamine B (RB) (67.73 mg/g), with maximum adsorption efficiencies of CV and RB of 98.4% (pH=11) and 93.5% (pH=7), respectively, at a concentration of 10 mg/L. The PDA/Zr-MOFs/PU foam can simultaneously remove CV and RB from the mixed solution. Moreover, the PDA/Zr-MOFs/PU foam still exhibits high stability and reusability after five cycles.

Abstract
Separation of water/alcohol miscible mixtures via direct filtration only under gravity is a great challenge. Here, different alkyl chain grafted-reduced graphene oxide (alkyl-RGO) is synthesized and characterized. The hydrophobic alkyl chains can considerably modify the oil-wettability of the membranes and avoid water permeation. The alkyl-RGO membrane obtained by vacuum filtration can separate water/oil immiscible mixtures. Importantly, water/alcohol miscible mixtures could also be separated solely under gravity, where alcohols efficiently permeate the alkyl-RGO membrane while water is prevented through the membrane. The separation efficiency of C12H-RGO membrane reaches up to about 0.04 vol% of water content for the case of separating an n-propanol/water (90:10 v/v) mixture with high n-propanol permeability of approx. 685 mL m−2 h−1. Molecular simulations indicate that the selective absorption ability and diffusion rate also affect water/alcohol separation. The alkyl-RGO membranes via gravity driven filtration can extend the applications of separation of water/alcohol miscible mixtures.

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
Flow batteries (FBs) are one of the most attractive candidates for stationary energy storage and vital in realizing the wide application of renewable energies. Membranes play an important role in isolating redox couples while transporting ions to close the internal electrical circuit. Therefore, membranes with high selectivity and conductivity are highly important. Among different membranes, a composite membrane with independent design of support layer and thin selective top layer becomes one of the most promising candidates to break the trade-off between selectivity and conductivity. In this Review, recent studies on composite membranes for FBs and the principles of membrane design in different systems are discussed and summarized. Finally, the future direction on membrane design for different FBs is presented, which will provide an extensive, comprehensive reference to design and construct high-performance composite membranes for FBs.

Abstract
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membranes are widely used for bioethanol separation. However, the network cavity size r3 of PDMS membranes is generally smaller than the ethanol kinetic radius (0.225 nm), which limits the transport of ethanol molecules and weakens the pervaporation performance. Herein, we proposed a particle-driven, ultrafast-cured strategy to overcome the above key issue: (1) Incorporating particles into PDMS for preventing polymer chains from packing tightly, (2) freezing particles within a PDMS layer by the ultrafast UV-cross-linking for improving its distribution and increasing the chain extension of the polymer, and (3) covalently bonding particles with PDMS to enhance their compatibility. Consequently, r3 was increased to 0.262 nm, and an extremely high loading membrane (50 wt %) with an ultrashort curing time (20 s) was prepared, which is difficult to be realized by the conventional thermally driven approach. As a result, a separation factor of 13.4 with a total flux of 2207 g m-2 h-1 for separating ethanol from a 5 wt % aqueous solution at 60 °C was obtained. This strategy shows the feasibility of recovery of different bioalcohols and the large-scale continuous membrane preparation.

Abstract
Photocatalytic nanofiltration (NF) membranes with enhanced flux and anti-fouling properties were prepared from a layered in situ nanocomposite of metal organic framework (i.e., UiO-66) and graphene oxide (UiO-66_GO) on a polyamide NF membrane using a pressure-assisted self-assembly method. For filtering pure water and humic acid, the composite membrane with a 10% UiO-66_GO loading (UiO-66_GO/NF-10%) showed a higher water flux (up to 63 kg/m2 h bar), flux recovery (80%), and total fouling resistance (33%) than the pristine NF membrane. Physical and chemical characterization revealed that this performance was attributed to improvements in hydrophilicity, porosity, surface smoothness, and charge repulsion. The UiO-66_GO/NF-10% composite membrane exhibited better physical stability with a relatively low mass loss (8.64%) after five washes than the membranes with mass loadings of 5 and 15 wt%. Furthermore, the UiO-66_GO/NF-10% composite membrane exhibited considerable photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (bandgap: 3.45 eV), which reduced irreversible fouling from 20.7% to 2.4% and increased flux recovery to 98%. This study demonstrated that surface modification with the UiO-66_GO nanocomposite produced a high-flux anti-fouling photocatalytic NF membrane, which is promising for water purification.

Abstract
The instability of graphene oxide (GO) membranes in aqueous solutions restricts their application in wastewater treatment through the membrane separation technology. In this work, a nanocomposite membrane (Sm-MOF/GO) composed of samarium metal–organic frameworks (Sm-MOFs) and GO nanosheets was successfully fabricated via the filtration of the corresponding Sm-MOF/GO dispersions. The in situ growth of Sm-MOF with aqueous stability on the GO sheets prevented the adjacent GO layers from expanding in aqueous solutions, thus endowing the prepared Sm-MOF/GO membrane with a stable membrane skeleton structure. Besides, the successful loading of Sm-MOF enlarged the layer space of the composite membrane, which was beneficial for higher permeance. The optimization of the Sm-MOF loading contents was also investigated to prepare M-X (where X represents the mass ratio of the MOF raw material to the total mass of the reactants). Subsequently, the fabricated M-0.31 possessed a high permeance of 26 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, which was 3 times higher than that of a pure GO membrane; moreover, high rejections (>91%) to rhodamine B and methylene blue were obtained. After continuous 5.5 h filtration, the excellent rejection was still maintained as expected, indicating the long-term stability of M-0.31. A nanocomposite membrane composed of samarium metal-organic frameworks and graphene oxide nanosheets was fabricated for organic dye removal.![]()

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) with a two-dimensional lamellar structure and single-atom thickness has exhibited advantages in water purification by stacking to a continuous membrane. However, a proper method to further increase the separation property of the GO membrane is still urgently needed. Besides, damage to the membrane during the full-scale application processes and the resulted consequential loss are prevalent problems need to be solved. Here, a hierarchically assembled GO composite membrane was developed that can achieve high-efficiency water purification performance and self-healing property via the synergistic effect of the metal-organic framework (MOF) and the coated hydrophilic layer of chitosan. The intercalated MOF effectively expanded the channel space of GO and endowed the channels with molecular-sieving property. Meanwhile, the coated chitosan layer can selectively adsorb water and achieve self-healing through the cross-linking reaction. The prepared GO composite membrane shows largely improved water flux (14.62 L m-2 h-1 bar-1), increased 344% than the water flux of the GO membrane, high rejection ratio (>99% for dyes), and good antifouling performance. In addition, the damaged GO composite membrane can recover its water flux (95%) and rejection ratio (96%) through a facile self-healing process.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membrane, bearing well-aligned interlayer nanochannels and well-defined physicochemical properties, promises fast proton transport. However, the deficiency of proton donor groups on the basal plane of GO and weak interlamellar interactions between the adjacent nanosheets often cause low proton conduction capability and poor water stability. Herein, we incorporate sulfonated graphene quantum dots (SGQD) into GO membrane to solve the above dilemma via synergistically controlling the edge electrostatic interaction and in-plane π-π interaction of SGQD with GO nanosheets. SGQD with three different kinds of electron-withdrawing groups are employed to modulate the edge electrostatic interactions and improve the water swelling resistant property of GO membranes. Meanwhile, SGQD with abundant proton donor groups assemble on the sp2 domain of GO via in-plane π-π interaction and confer the GO membranes with low-energy-barrier proton transport channels. As a result, the GO membrane achieves an enhanced proton conductivity of 324 mS cm-1, maximum power density of 161.6 mW cm-2, and superior water stability when immersed into water for one month. This study demonstrates a strategy for independent manipulation of conductive function and nonconductive function to fabricate high-performance proton exchange membranes.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) strategy for the fabrication of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVAL) membranes with a dynamic surface was developed based on sliding supramolecular polymer brushes (SSPBs). The SSPBs with a 3D hydrophilic structure were introduced into the alkyne-EVAL membrane matrix via an azide-alkyne click coupling reaction. The self-mobile hydrophilic slide-rings in the SSPB provided a proactive exclusion system. This resulted in reduced direct contact of the membrane surface with multiple pollutants such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) and oil droplets. The EVAL-SSPB membrane demonstrated increased surface hydrophilicity, underwater oleophobicity, and antifouling properties. More importantly, the abundant hydrophilic rings in the membrane matrix result in supramolecular assembly and efficient hydrophilic sliding channels. This resulted in a dramatic increase in the water flux [2000 L/(m2 h)] while retaining a 96% rejection of BSA and oil/water emulsions. The results of the study indicate that three effects of the cyclodextrins rings, i.e., the hydrophilic effect, the exclusion effect, and the sliding effect, enabled the improved membrane performance. The demonstrated 3D fabrication strategy is versatile, facile, and scalable, which allows for its application to various other membranes. The fabricated materials possess excellent permeability and separation efficiencies, which make them attractive candidates for use as separation membranes with novel functions.

Abstract
The elimination of small amounts of water from alcohols is by no means a trivial issue in many practical applications like, for instance, the dehumidification of biocombustibles. The use of carbonaceous materials as sorbents has been far less explored than that of other materials because their hydrophobic character has typically limited their water uptake. Herein, we designed a synthetic process based on the use of eutectic mixtures that allowed the homogeneous dispersion of graphene oxide (GO) in the liquid containing the carbon precursor, e.g., furfuryl alcohol. Thus, after polymerization and a subsequent carbonization process, we were able to obtain porous carbon-GO composites where the combination of pore diameter and surface hydrophilicity provided a remarkable capacity for water uptake but extremely low methanol and ethanol uptake along the entire range of relative pressures evaluated in this work. Both the neat water uptake and the uptake difference between water and either methanol or ethanol of our carbon-GO composites were similar or eventually better than the uptake previously reported for other materials, also exhibiting preferential water-to-alcohol adsorption, e.g., porous coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks, polyoxometalates, and covalent two-dimensional nanosheets embedded in a polymer matrix. Moreover, water versus alcohol uptake was particularly remarkable at low partial pressures in our carbon-GO composites.
