Control over the Hydrophilicity in the Pores of Covalent Organic Framework Membranes for High-Flux Separation of Dyes from Water

Zhan Li et al.

Summary: Membrane separation plays a crucial role in water purification, and pore-size control is essential for molecular sieving. In this study, a covalent organic framework (COF) membrane called TUS-46 was precisely designed with appropriate pore metrics and functionalities. The TUS-46 COF membrane exhibited excellent rejection performance for anionic dyes due to its suitable pore sizes and negative electrostatic pore walls. Furthermore, the presence of free aldehyde functionalities in the framework resulted in a 10-fold higher water permeance compared to a similar COF membrane without these functionalities. The unique construction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanospaces within the TUS-46 COF structure enabled high water flux, making it a promising material for water separation applications.
