Summary
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) can now be processed into membranes using interface engineering. This overcomes limitations of traditional POF materials, enabling advanced applications.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Nanotechnology
- Chemical Engineering
Background:
- Porous organic frameworks (POFs) offer high surface area, tunable pores, and stability.
- Conventional POFs as large particles or insoluble powders hinder recycling and mass transfer.
- Processing POFs into membranes is crucial for advanced applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent advances in preparing porous organic framework (POF) membranes using interface engineering.
- To discuss the challenges and potential applications of these POF membranes.
Main Methods:
- Interface engineering strategies for POF membrane formation.
