Abstract

Phyllosilicates Phyllosilicates, abundant layered clay minerals, are reimagined as scalable and cost-effective candidates for advanced membrane technologies. This work highlights their tunable interlayer properties, enabling molecular-scale separations for applications in water purification, resource recovery, and energy systems. The cover illustrates the dynamic interplay of natural materials and engineered structures, symbolizing the transformative potential of phyllosilicate membranes. More details can be found in the Review Article by Seth B. Darling and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500510).
