Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes, which are recognized as state-of-the-art platforms applied in various separation processes, have attracted widespread attention. Nonetheless, to overcome the trade-off between permeability and selectivity, which is crucial for achieving efficient separation, it is important to rationally design and manipulate MOF membrane structure. Given remarkable advances in the past decade, a timely summary of recent advancement in this field has become indispensable. This review introduces major strategies for fabricating oriented MOF membranes, including in situ growth, contra-diffusion method, interface-assisted approach, and laminated nanosheet assembly. New insights into their updated progress and potential are elucidated. Of particular note, recent development and emerging applications of oriented MOF membranes, illustrating their potential to address environmental and energy challenges, are highlighted. Finally, remaining challenges facing their bath production and practical applications are discussed.

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

Abstract
Ion-selective membranes are considered as the promising candidates for osmotic energy harvesting. However, the fabrication of highly perm-selective membrane is the major challenge. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-defined nanochannels along functional charged groups show great importance to tackle this problem. Here, a series of dense sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) incorporated MOFs composite membranes (PSS@MOFs) on a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane via in situ anodic electrodeposition process are developed. Benefiting to the novel structural design of the confined Ag layer, PSS@MOFs dense composite membrane with less defects formed. The sulfonated nanochannels of the PSS@MOFs composite membrane provided rapid and selective transport of cations due to the enhanced electrostatic interaction between the permeating ions and MOFs. While osmotic energy conversion, 860 nm thick negatively charged PSS@MOFs composite membrane achieves an ultrahigh cation transfer number of 0.993 and energy conversion efficiency of 48.8% at a 100-fold salinity gradient. Moreover, a large output power of 2.90 µW has been achieved with an ultra-low internal resistance of 999 Ω, employing an effective area of 12.56 mm2 . This work presents a promising strategy to construct a high-performance MOFs-based osmotic energy harvesting system for practical applications.

Abstract
Recently, pillar-layered MOF materials have attracted much attention and shown great potential in separation application due to their fine pore size/channel and pore surface chemistry tunability and designability. In this work, we reported an effective and universal synthesis strategy for preparing ultra-microporous Ni-based pillar-layered MOF [Ni2(L-asp)2(bpy)] (Ni-LAB) and [Ni2(L-asp)2(pz)] (Ni-LAP) (L-asp = L-aspartic acid, bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, pz = pyrazine) membranes on a porous α-Al2O3 substrate with high performance and good stability by secondary growth. Through this strategy, the seed size reduction and screening engineering (SRSE) is proposed to obtain uniform sub-micron size MOF seeds by high-energy ball milling-combined solvent deposition. This strategy not only effectively addresses the issue of obtaining the uniform small seeds being significant for secondary growth but also provides an approach for the preparation of Ni-based pillar-layered MOF membranes where the freedom of synthesizing small crystals is lacking. Based on reticular chemistry, the pore size of Ni-LAB was narrowed by making use of shorter pillar ligands of pz instead of the longer pillar ligand of bpy. The prepared ultra-microporous Ni-LAP membranes exhibited a high H2/CO2 separation factor of 40.4 with H2 permeance of 9.69 × 10-8 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 under ambient conditions and good mechanical and thermal stability. The superiority of the tunable pore structure and the remarkable stability of these MOF materials showed great potential for industrial H2 purification. More importantly, our synthesis strategy demonstrated the generality for preparation of MOF membranes, enabling the regulation of membrane pore size and surface functional groups by reticular chemistry.

Abstract
Next-generation materials for fast ion conduction have the potential to revolutionize battery technology. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for achieving this goal. Given their structural diversity, the design of efficient MOF-based conductors can be accelerated by a detailed understanding and accurate prediction of ion conductivity. However, the polycrystalline nature of solid-state materials requires consideration of grain boundary effects, which is complicated by challenges in characterizing grain boundary structures and simulating ensemble transport processes. To address this, we have developed an approach for modeling ion transport at grain boundaries and predicting their contribution to conductivity. Mg2+ conduction in the Mg-MOF-74 thin film was studied as a representative system. Using computational techniques and guided by experiments, we investigated the structural details of MOF grain boundary interfaces to determine accessible Mg2+ transport pathways. Computed transport kinetics were input into a simplified MOF nanocrystal model, which combines ion transport in the bulk structure and at grain boundaries. The model predicts Mg2+ conductivity in the MOF-74 film within chemical accuracy (<1 kcal/mol activation energy difference), validating our approach. Physically, Mg2+ conduction in MOF-74 is inhibited by strong Mg2+ binding at grain boundaries, such that only a small fraction of grain boundary alignments allow for fast Mg2+ transport. This results in a 2-3 order-of-magnitude reduction in conductivity, illustrating the critical impact of the grain boundary contribution. Overall, our work provides a computation-aided platform for molecular-level understanding of grain boundary effects and quantitative prediction of ion conductivity. Combined with experimental measurements, it can serve as a synergistic tool for characterizing the grain boundary composition of MOF-based conductors.

Abstract
Concurrent regulation of crystallographic orientation and thickness of zirconium metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) membranes is challenging but promising for their performance enhancement. In this study, we pioneered the fabrication of uniform triangular-shaped, 40 nm thick UiO-66 nanosheet (NS) seeds by employing an anisotropic etching strategy. Through innovating confined counter-diffusion-assisted epitaxial growth, highly (111)-oriented 165 nm-thick UiO-66 membrane was prepared. The significant reduction in thickness and diffusion barrier in the framework endowed the membrane with unprecedented CO2 permeance (2070 GPU) as well as high CO2 /N2 selectivity (35.4), which surpassed the performance limits of state-of-the-art polycrystalline MOF membranes. In addition, highly (111)-oriented 180 nm-thick NH2 -UiO-66 membrane showing superb H2 /CO2 separation performance with H2 permeance of 1230 GPU and H2 /CO2 selectivity of 41.3, was prepared with the above synthetic procedure.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are emerging materials with fantastic properties and wide applications. The release of metal ions from MOF materials is usually regarded as the origin of soluble MOF toxicity. However, whether the stable MOF particulates would induce environmental hazards is not clear. Herein, we aimed to reveal the particulate toxicity of MOF materials using the insoluble UiO-66 as the representative MOF and Phanerochaete chrysosporium as the model microorganism. UiO-66 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by solvothermal method and their diameter was 68.4 ± 8.5 nm. UiO-66 NPs were stable in the culture system and the dissolution rate of 500 mg/L group was 0.26% after 14 d incubation. UiO-66 NPs did not affect the fungus growth according to the fresh weight increases and unchanged dry weights. Fungus mycelia kept even at concentrations up to 500 mg/L. Ultrastructural observation showed that UiO-66 NPs did not enter the fungal cells, but slightly destroyed the cell wall. UiO-66 NPs inhibited the laccase activity and promoted the activity of manganese peroxidase. The overall impact on the decomposition activity of P. chrysosporium was low in dye coloration test and sawdust degradation assay. Meaningful oxidative stress was aroused by UiO-66 NPs, as indicated by the decreases of catalase, glutathione, and total superoxide dismutase, and the increases of H2O2. Our results collectively suggested that the MOF particulates could induce mild mechanical damage to fungi and the toxicity was low comparing to other instable MOF materials.

Abstract
UiO-66 is a benchmark metal-organic framework that holds great promise for the design of new functional materials. In this work, we perform two-dimensional infrared measurements on polycrystalline membranes of UiO-66 grown on c-sapphire substrates. We study the symmetric and antisymmetric stretch vibrations of the carboxylate groups of the terephthalate linker ions and find that these vibrations show a rapid energy exchange and a collective vibrational relaxation with a time constant of 1.3 ps. We also find that the symmetric vibration of the carboxylate group is strongly coupled to a vibration of the aromatic ring of the terephthalate ion. We observe that the antisymmetric carboxylate vibrations of different terephthalate linkers show rapid resonant (Förster) energy transfer with a time constant of ∼1 ps.

Abstract
Complete suppression of twin crystal formation in oriented metal-organic framework (MOF) film remains a great challenge. In this study, we successfully avoided the twin generation in c-oriented NH2-MIL-125 film through simple competitive metal ion-based coordination modulation. Simultaneously, relevant mechanism associated with twin suppression was elucidated.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) is effective for C3H6/C3H8 separation because of the "sieving effect" of a six-membered (6-M) window. Here, we demonstrate that ZIF-8 is a versatile material that could effectively separate C2H4 from C2H6 via its 4-M window along the <100> direction. We established a facile and environmentally friendly carbon nanotube (CNT)-induced oriented membrane (CNT-OM) approach to fabricate a {100}-oriented ZIF-8 membrane (100-M). In this approach, 2-methyimidazole was anchored onto the CNT surface followed by 3-hour in situ growth in aqueous solution at room temperature. The obtained 100-M, whose 4-M window is aligned along the transport pathway, showed ~3 times higher C2H4/C2H6 selectivity than a randomly oriented membrane. Thus, this work demonstrates that the membrane orientation plays an important role in tuning selectivity toward different gas pairs. Furthermore, 100-M exhibited excellent mechanical stability that could sustain the separation performance after bending at a curvature of ~109 m-1.

Abstract
Fluorinated metal-organic framework materials (NbOFFIVE-1-Ni, also referred to as KAUST-7) have attracted widespread attention because of their high chemical stability and thermal stability, outstanding tolerance with water and H2S, and high CO2-adsorption selectivity over H2 and CH4. KAUST-7 was expected to be a new membrane material candidate for H2/CO2 separation because of the hindered permeation of CO2 resulting from the interaction between CO2 and (NbOF5)2- of the KAUST-7 framework. A highly H2 perm-selective KAUST-7 membrane was first achieved using a novel strategy of inorganic pillar center-facilitated counterdiffusion (IPCFCD) proposed by us. The IPCFCD method not only effectively avoided the corrosion of hydrofluoric acid to α-Al2O3 tubes in the process of preparing KAUST-7 membranes, but also better reduced grain boundary defects because of the faster nucleation rate and resultant high crystallinity. The KAUST-7 membrane exhibited a high H2/CO2 separation factor (SF) of 27.30 for the 1:1 H2/CO2 binary gas mixture with a high H2 permeance of 5.30 × 10-7 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 under ambient conditions and a slight decrease of the H2/CO2 SF with increasing operation temperature and presence of steam. This study highlighted the importance of pre-synthesizing inorganic pillar centers (NiNbOF5 intermediate) and the innovation of a membrane formation process for synthesizing polycrystalline KAUST-7 membranes. Most important of all, our study provided a novel approach to overcome the challenge in fabricating metal-organic framework membranes containing corrosive reactants for the corresponding supports.

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
Graphdiyne (GDY), with uniform pores and atomic thickness, is attracting widespread attention for application in H2 separation in recent years. However, the challenge lies in the rational design of GDYs for fast and selective H2 permeation. By MD and DFT calculations, several flexible GDYs were constructed to investigate the permeation properties of four pure gas (H2, N2, CO2, and CH4) and three equimolar binary mixtures (H2/N2, H2/CO2, and H2/CH4) in this study. When the pore size is smaller than 2.1 Å, the GDYs acted as an exceptional filter for H2 with an approximately infinite H2 selectivity. Beyond the size-sieving effect, in the separation process of binary mixtures, the blocking effect arising from the strong gas-membrane interaction was proven to greatly impede H2 permeation. After understanding the mechanism, the H2 permeance of the mixtures of H2/CO2 was further increased to 2.84 × 105 GPU by reducing the blocking effect with the addition of a tiny amount of surface charges, without sacrificing the selectivity. This theoretical study provides an additional atomic understanding of H2 permeation crossing GDYs, indicating that the GDY membrane could be a potential candidate for H2 purification.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks constructed from multiple (≥3) components often exhibit dramatically increased structural complexity compared to their 2 component (1 metal, 1 linker) counterparts, such as multiple chemically unique pore environments and a plurality of diverse molecular diffusion pathways. This inherent complexity can be advantageous for gas separation applications. Here, we report two isoreticular multicomponent MOFs, bMOF-200 (4 components; Cu, Zn, adeninate, pyrazolate) and bMOF-201 (3 components; Zn, adeninate, pyrazolate). We describe their structures, which contain 3 unique interconnected pore environments, and we use Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) along with the climbing image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method to predict potential H2/CO2 separation ability of bMOF-200. We examine the H2/CO2 separation performance using both column breakthrough and membrane permeation studies. bMOF-200 membranes exhibit a H2/CO2 separation factor of 7.9. The pore space of bMOF-201 is significantly different than bMOF-200, and one molecular diffusion pathway is occluded by coordinating charge-balancing formate and acetate anions. A consequence of this structural difference is reduced permeability to both H2 and CO2 and a significantly improved H2/CO2 separation factor of 22.2 compared to bMOF-200, which makes bMOF-201 membranes competitive with some of the best performing MOF membranes in terms of H2/CO2 separations.

Abstract
Layered molecular sieve membranes containing uniform interlayer galleries have offered unprecedented opportunities to reach a performance far beyond the Robeson upper bound line. In this study, we took the initiative to prepare layered zirconium phenylphosphonate (ZrPP) molecular sieve membranes with optimized microstructure on tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) buffer layer-modified porous α-Al2O3 substrates by facile in situ hydrothermal growth. Relying on the 3.2 Å-sized gallery height and preferential CO2 adsorption behavior, prepared ZrPP membranes showed exceptional H2/CO2 selectivity (>100) as well as considerable H2 permeability. Furthermore, extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability of ZrPP membranes made them potentially attractive for long-term operations under harsh conditions.
