Area of Science:

Supramolecular chemistry
Materials science
Nanotechnology

Background:

Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) are versatile supramolecular materials with applications in biomedicine, separations, and catalysis.
Current limitations include challenges in creating thick, robust MPN coatings resistant to harsh conditions and a lack of understanding in mixed-solvent assembly.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel strategy for constructing thick and robust MPN coatings.
To investigate the interfacial assembly of MPNs in mixed solvents.
To enhance the stability and applicability of MPN coatings.

Main Methods:

A solvent-regulated gradient assembly strategy using a water/ethylene glycol mixture was employed.
Coordination kinetics of MPNs were regulated by mediating polyphenol interactions.
The assembly process involved lateral and longitudinal cross-linking.

Main Results:

Thick (up to 1.5 μm) and robust MPN coatings were successfully fabricated on various substrates.
The coatings demonstrated excellent performance in oil/water separation, with high oil intrusion pressure (2.0 kPa) and water flux (2.59 × 10⁵ L m⁻²h⁻¹).
The MPN coatings exhibited long-term stability and tolerance to harsh conditions and thick oil fouling.

Conclusions:

The solvent-regulated gradient assembly strategy enables the creation of highly stable and functional MPN coatings.
This method overcomes previous limitations in MPN coating fabrication and expands their potential applications, particularly in separation technologies.
The study provides valuable insights into the fundamental assembly mechanisms of MPNs.
