Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have emerged as a breakthrough technology for gas separation, offering unparalleled selectivity and permeability due to their high surface area, tuneable pore size, and versatile chemical functionalities. Encompassing the immense recent progress in the development of MOF-based membranes as supported thin layers as well as mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), this review is focussed on recent developments such as electrodeposition, use of glassy MOFs, two-dimensional (2D) MOF nanosheets and use of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in the design of MOF membranes. Each type of MOF membrane presents unique advantages: polycrystalline membranes excel in molecular sieving, thin-film composite membranes provide enhanced gas permeance, MMMs combine MOF properties with polymer flexibility, and MOF glass membranes offer exceptional stability under harsh conditions. The comprehensive development of MOF membranes promises to revolutionize gas separation technologies, significantly contributing to environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Finally, future advances in MOF membranes will focus on improving stability, scalability, and integration into industrial processes, with key research areas including improving chemical and thermal stability, developing scalable synthesis methods, and employing AI and machine learning for material optimization
期刊介绍:
Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications.
The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms.
Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC).
Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
