Abstract

Abstract:

As a new type of framework material with three-dimensional pore structure, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been widely used in the fields of catalysis, energy storage and separation. However, the water stability of MOFs is always a barrier to its application expansion. With the continuous emergence of water stable MOFs materials and the deepening understanding of the water stable mechanism of MOFs, many scholars begin to pay attention to the separation application of the MOFs separation membrane in the water system. This review focused on the separation and application of MOFs separation membranes in water system environment, summarized the factors affecting the water stability of MOFs, the preparation methods of MOFs separation membranes, and the application of MOFs separation membrane in dye wastewater, desalination and removal of heavy metal ions and ion selective separation. The future development trend of MOFs separation membrane was prospected.

Key words: MOFs separation membranes, water stability, separation, aperture sieving, desalination, selectivity
