Continuous Covalent Organic Frameworks Membranes: From Preparation Strategies to Applications (Small 44/2023)

Continuous Covalent Organic Frameworks Membranes Advanced covalent organic frameworks (COFs) membranes have received a lot of attention and a better trade-off between selectivity and permeability can be achieved due to the tunable pore size, high porosity, unique pore structure and the abundance of molecular/ion-specific functional groups on the framework. In article number 2303757, Li Gao, Xiaoming Yan, Gaohong He, and co-workers classify and summarize the preparation strategies of continuous COFs membranes and the applications in separation fields. Depending on the application environment and system, the applications are divided into three main chutes: gas phase, aqueous phase and charged environment.
