Abstract

The worldwide water demand has increased significantly, owing to overpopulation and extensive economic growth. Although global scientific community has addressed the water purification/desalination challenges using membrane filtration techniques, however, their applications are limited due to trade-off between selectivity and permeability. Therefore, new membrane materials with excellent filtration performance are required. Lately, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as potentially beneficial membrane materials due to their unique features. While the literature has reported the latest investigations regarding the applications of MOFs based membranes for water purification/desalination, herein, a comprehensive review of MOFs integrated polymeric membranes has been presented. This review elaborates the historical timeline of MOFs based membranes with deep insights into fabrication approaches for MOFs induced polymeric membranes followed by their key features for water purification/desalination. Furthermore, the latest findings of these membranes regarding water treatment/desalination have been presented focusing on the removal of heavy metals, antimicrobial activity, desalination, antifouling behavior, and synergetic catalytic/separation capability. Lastly, the challenges in developing such membranes for practical applications have been highlighted besides future perspectives. The overall theme of this review is to provide a deep evaluation on present research, constraints, and future directions regarding MOFs induced polymeric membranes for the water treatment/desalination.

金属有机骨架嵌入聚合物膜：在水净化和海水淡化中的应用综述

由于人口过剩和广泛的经济增长，世界范围内的水需求显著增加。尽管全球科学界已经利用膜过滤技术解决了水净化/海水淡化的挑战，但由于选择性和渗透性之间的权衡，其应用受到限制。因此，需要具有优良过滤性能的新型膜材料。近年来，金属有机框架（mof）由于其独特的特性而被认为是潜在的有益膜材料。虽然文献报道了mof基膜在水净化/海水淡化中的应用的最新研究，但本文对mof集成聚合物膜进行了全面的综述。这篇综述阐述了mof膜的历史时间线，深入了解了mof诱导聚合物膜的制造方法，以及它们在水净化/脱盐方面的主要特点。此外，这些膜在水处理/脱盐方面的最新发现也被介绍了，重点是去除重金属、抗菌活性、脱盐、防污性能和协同催化/分离能力。最后，除了未来的展望外，还强调了开发这种膜的实际应用所面临的挑战。本文对mof诱导聚合物膜用于水处理/海水淡化的研究现状、制约因素和未来发展方向进行了综述。
