Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for water desalination: Fast water permeation and excellent salt rejection. Their well-defined and highly tunable pore structures endow them with tremendous opportunities as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. This cover depicts a RO desalination process using a zirconium-based MOF membrane to effectively block the passage of salt ions (purple and green spheres) while allowing the permeation of water molecules through its sub-nanoscale channels. More details can be found in article number e202401544 by Qiang Lyu and Li-Chiang Lin.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews.
A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
