Abstract
Supported membranes and mixed matrix membranes have a limitation of harming the mass transfer due to the incompatibility between the support layer or the matrix and the active components of the membrane. Self-standing membranes, which could structurally abandon the support layer, altogether avoid the adverse effect, thus greatly facilitating the transmembrane mass transfer process. However, the abandonment of the support layer also reduces the membrane's mechanical properties and formability. In this review, our emphasis will be on self-standing membranes within the realm of materials and separation engineering. We will explore the materials employed in the fabrication of self-standing membranes, highlighting their ability to simultaneously enhance membrane performance and promote self-standing characteristics. Additionally, we will delve into the diverse techniques utilized for crafting self-standing membranes, encompassing interfacial polymerization, filtration, solvent casting, Langmuir-Blodgett & layer-by-layer assembly, electrospinning, compression, etc. Throughout the discussion, the merits and drawbacks associated with each of these preparation methods were elucidated. We also provide a brief overview of the applications of self-standing membranes, including water purification, gas separation, organic solvent nanofiltration, electrochemistry, and membrane reactor, as well as a brief description of the general strategies for performance enhancement of self-standing membranes. Finally, the current status of self-standing membranes and the challenges they may encounter were discussed.

Abstract
Poor adsorption properties of nonadsorbing targets and competing adsorption of nontargets at a liquid interface always hamper the development of interface sensing techniques. There is a need to fabricate materials that are applicable to various interface assemblies and, meanwhile, could be employed as interfacial gating to improve the performance of interface sensing by separating, enriching, and recognizing targets at the liquid interface. Here, superhydrophobic zeolite imidazole frameworks-8@gold nanoparticles-1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol (ZIF-8@GNPs-PFDT) with a static water contact angle (WCA) of 155° was constructed via electrostatic self-assembly and surface graft modification. The plasmonic metal-organic framework (PMOF) nanohybrid realized all-purpose self-assembly at air/liquid and liquid/liquid interfaces and also facilely assembled on the surface of liquid droplets, hydrogels, and foams. The self-assembled porous materials displayed the capability for separating, enriching, and recognizing analytes at various oil/water interfaces and thus could be used to adsorb nonadsorbing targets and block the competing adsorption of nontargets. The self-assembled ZIF-8@GNPs-PFDT structures were employed as a three-in-one interfacial gating to endow the excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing capability and has become a promising tool for dye molecular analysis, oil/water separation, organic phase identification, and in situ cultivation and monitoring of bacterial quorum sensing (QS).

Abstract
Metal organic framework (MOF) films have attracted abundant attention due to their unique characters compared with MOF particles. But the high-temperature reaction and solvent corrosion limit the preparation of MOF films on fragile substrates, hindering further applications. Fabricating macro-sized continuous free-standing MOF films and transferring them onto fragile substrates are a promising alternative but still challenging. Here, a universal strategy to prepare transferrable macro-sized continuous free-standing MOF films with the assistance of oxide nanomembranes prepared by atomic layer deposition and studied the growth mechanism is developed. The oxide nanomembranes serve not only as reactant, but also as interfacial layer to maintain the integrality of the free-standing structure as the stacked MOF particles are supported by the oxide nanomembrane. The centimeter-scale free-standing MOF films can be transferred onto fragile substrates, and all in one device for glucose sensing is assembled. Due to the strong adsorption toward glucose molecules, the obtained devices exhibit outstanding performance in terms of high sensitivity, low limit of detection, and long durability. This work opens a new window toward the preparation of MOF films and MOF film-based biosensor chip for advantageous applications in post-Moore law period.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials characterized by their high porosity and chemical tailorability. To realize the full potential of synthesized MOFs, it is important to transform them from crystalline solid powders into materials with integrated morphologies and properties. One promising approach is facet-controlled assembly, which involves arranging individual crystalline MOF particles into ordered macroscale structures by carefully controlling the interactions between particles. The resulting assembled MOF structures maintain the characteristics of individual particles while also exhibiting improved properties overall. In this article, we emphasize the essential concepts of MOF assembly, highlighting the impact of building blocks, surface interactions, and Gibbs free energy on the assembly process. We systematically examine three methods of guiding facet-controlled MOF assembly, including spontaneous assembly, assembly guided by external forces, and assembly through surface modifications. Lastly, we offer outlooks on future advancements in the fabrication of MOF-based material and potential application exploration.

Abstract
As the majority of known metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess anisotropic crystal lattices and thus anisotropic physicochemical properties, a pressing practical challenge in MOF research is the establishment of robust and simple processing methods to fully harness the anisotropic properties of the MOFs in various applications. We address this challenge by applying an E-field to precisely align MIL-88A microcrystals and generate MIL-88A@polymer films. Thereafter, we demonstrate the impact of MOF crystal alignment on the actuation properties of the films as a proof of concept. We investigate how different anisotropies of the MIL-88A@polymer films, specifically, crystal anisotropy, particle alignment, and film composition, can lead to the synergetic enhancement of the film actuation upon water exposure. Moreover, we explore how the directionality in application of the external stimuli (dry/humid air stream, water/air interface) affects the direction and the extent of the MIL-88A@polymer film movement. Apart from the superior water-driven actuation properties of the developed films, we demonstrate by dynamometer measurements the higher degree of mechanical work performed by the aligned MIL-88A@polymer films with the preserved anisotropies compared to the unaligned films. The insights provided by this work into anisotropic properties displayed by aligned MIL-88A@polymer films promise to translate crystal performance benefits measured in laboratories into real-world applications. We anticipate that our work is a starting point to utilize the full potential of anisotropic properties of MOFs.

Abstract
ConspectusCompositing MOFs with polymers brings out the best properties of both worlds. The solubility and excellent mechanical properties of polymers endow the brittle, powdery MOFs with enhanced processability, thereby enriching their functions as solid sorbents, filters, membranes, catalysts, drug delivery vehicles, and so forth. While most MOF-polymer composites are random mixtures of two materials with little control over their fine structures, MOF@polymer core-shell particles have recently emerged as a new platform for precise composite design. The well-defined polymer coating can keep the rich pore characteristics of the MOF intact while furnishing the MOF with new properties such as improved dispersibility in various media, tunable surface energy, enhanced chemical stability, and regulated guest diffusion. Nevertheless, the structural and chemical complexity of MOFs poses a grand challenge to the development of a generalizable and feasible strategy for constructing MOF@polymer. Examples in the literature that showcase the presence of a well-defined polymer shell on the MOF with fully reserved porosity are rare. Moreover, methods for coating MOFs with condensation polymers (e.g., polyimide, polysulfone) are severely underexplored, despite their clear potential as membrane materials. In this Account, we present our group's effort over the past 4 years on the synthesis and applications of MOF@polymer composites. We first described a highly generalizable surface polymerization method that utilizes the rapid physisorption of a random copolymer (RCP) to carry initiating groups to the MOF surfaces. Subsequent controlled radical polymerization led to the formation of a uniform methacrylate or styrenic polymer on the MOF with tunable thickness and composition. To utilize the properties of condensation polymers, we pioneered the covalent grafting of polyimide (PI) brushes to UiO-66-NH2 surfaces. In addition, to circumvent the need for a covalent anchoring group, we further developed an MOF surface grafting method based on mechanical linkage. Instead of connecting to the ligand, polyimide (PI) oligomer was linked to a functionalized linear polymer physically entangled within an MOF, thus realizing surface grafting with PI. Alternatively, PIs, polysulfone (PSF), and polycarbonate (PC) can also be grafted to various MOF surfaces through a metal-organic nanocapsule (MONC)-mediated method using a combination of electrostatic interaction and coordination bonds. To find a rapid and low-cost surface coating method suitable for commercialization, a new approach called non-solvent-induced surface-aimed deposition (NISAP) was developed. The action of the solvent phase separation drives dianhydrides and polyamines to the MOF surface, thus realizing accelerated polymerization and the rapid formation of a polymer coating on the MOF. Finally, we provided an overview of the unique properties and potential applications of MOF@polymer composites, including improved stability, MMMs, porous liquids (PLs), and immobilizing homogeneous catalysts. We hope that this Account can inspire more researchers to further develop and optimize the synthetic strategies for MOF@polymer and uncover its full application potential.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) assembled from metal nodes and organic ligands have received significant attention over the past two decades for their fascinating porous properties and broad applications. Colloidal MOFs (CMOFs) not only inherit the intrinsic properties of MOFs, but can also serve as building blocks for self-assembly to make functional materials. Compared to bulk MOFs, the colloidal size of CMOFs facilitates further manipulation of CMOF particles in a single or collective state in a liquid medium. The resulting crystalline order obtained by self-assembly in position and orientation can effectively improve performance. In this review, we summarize the latest developments of CMOFs in synthesis strategies, self-assembly methods, and related applications. Finally, we discuss future challenges and opportunities of CMOFs in synthesis and assembly, by which we hope that CMOFs can be further developed into new areas for a wider range of applications.

Abstract
Binary nanoparticle (NP) superlattices exhibit distinct collective plasmonic, magnetic, optical, and electronic properties. Here, we computationally demonstrate how fluid-fluid interfaces could be used to self-assemble binary systems of NPs into 2D superlattices when the NP species exhibit different miscibility with the fluids forming the interface. We develop a basin-hopping Monte Carlo (BHMC) algorithm tailored for interface-trapped structures to rapidly determine the ground-state configuration of NPs, allowing us to explore the repertoire of binary NP architectures formed at the interface. By varying the NP size ratio, interparticle interaction strength, and difference in NP miscibility with the two fluids, we demonstrate the assembly of an array of exquisite 2D periodic architectures, including AB-, AB2-, and AB3-type monolayer superlattices as well as AB-, AB2-, A3B5-, and A4B6-type bilayer superlattices. Our results suggest that the interfacial assembly approach could be a versatile platform for fabricating 2D colloidal superlattices with tunable structure and properties.

Abstract
Polymer-grafted metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can combine the properties of MOFs and polymers into a single, matrix-free composite material. Herein, we examine polymer-grafted MOF particles (using UiO-66 as a model system) to examine how the molecular weight, grafting density, and chemical functionality of the polymer graft affects the preparation of free-standing self-assembled MOF monolayers (SAMMs). The physical properties of the monolayers are influenced by the choice of polymer, and robust, flexible monolayers were achieved more readily with poly(methyl acrylate) when compared to poly(methyl methacrylate) or poly(benzyl methacrylate). Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to provide insights into the orientation and ordering of MOFs in the monolayers with respect to MOF size, graft length, and hydrophobicity. The relationship between molecular weight and graft density of the polymer brush was investigated and related to polymer brush conformation, offering design rules for further optimizations to balance mechanical strength, MOF weight fraction, and processability for this class of hybrid materials.

Abstract
The self-assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is crucial for the functional design of materials, including energy storage materials, catalysts, selective separation materials and optical crystals. However, oriented self-assembly of MOFs is still a challenge. Herein, we propose a novel strategy to drive oriented self-assembly of MOF polyhedral particles at the water-liquid interface by photoinitiated monomer polymerization. The MOF polyhedral particles self-assemble into ordered close-packed structures with obvious orientation in the polymer film, and the orientation is determined by the casting solvent on the water surface. The prepared large-area MOF polymer films show a Janus structure, containing a MOF monolayer and a polymer layer, and can be easily transferred to a variety of substrates. In addition, mixed MOF particles with different sizes and morphologies can also be assembled by this method. This novel method can be foreseen to provide a powerful driving force for the development of MOF self-assembly and to create more possibilities for utilizing the anisotropic properties of MOFs.

Abstract
A simple one-step approach that only uses commercially available small-molecule reagents was developed for the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF)@polymer core-shell composite particles. Here, the MOF particles were incorporated into a typical reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization solution containing a solvent, a chain-transfer agent, an initiator, and a monomer mixture with at least one hydrogen-bond-donating monomer such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate or acrylic acid. The elongation of polymer chains during polymerization gradually increases MOF/polymer interfacial interaction and eventually results in the adsorption of a random copolymer onto the MOF surface through hydrogen-bond cross-linking and MOF/polymer interfacial interaction. The continuous growth of the polymer leads to a uniform polymer coating on the MOF. Benefiting from the tacky polymer surface, these well-defined MOF@polymer composite particles can be further assembled into highly ordered monolayer composite thin films either alone or with an additional polymer matrix through the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.
