The ongoing pursuit of scientific research and industrial innovation aims to develop high-performance RO membranes. An effective approach to enhancing the performance of composite RO membranes is the use of interlayers. To simplify the construction process of the interlayer and improve its regulation effect on the interfacial polymerization process, we propose a construction scheme for an in-situ dynamic covalent interlayer. By adding glutaraldehyde (GA) to the aqueous solution containing cyclobutane tetraformylhydrazide (CBTH), we successfully synthesized a crosslinked acylhydrazone interlayer onto a polysulfone (PSF) substrate during the aqueous coating stage to optimize the interfacial polymerization process. In the early stage of interfacial polymerization, the crosslinked acylhydrazone interlayer can bind the amine monomer, preventing the initial polyamide layer from becoming too dense and creating a self-regulating mechanism. In the later stages, it continuously supplies amine monomers to the reaction zone, compensating for defects in the polyamide layer and establishing a self-perfection mechanism. The in-situ simultaneous dynamic covalent interlayer increased the permeation flux of the CBTH-TMC membrane by 3 times (4.0 L m<sup>−2</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>⋅bar<sup>−1</sup>) with NaCl rejection of 99.14 % by effectively controlling the membrane formation process.

However, the dense nature of the polyamide (PA) layer presents a challenge in breaking through the permeance bottleneck, significantly hindering its further application. In this study, 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (AEP) was first incorporated into the PEI solution as a structural regulator to adjust the microstructure of the PA separation layer. The structure of the PA selective layer was fine-tuned with the incorporation of AEP, enlarging the spacing between the long-chain molecules of PEI, and established hydrogen bonding interactions with PEI. This led to the generation of Turing structures on the membrane surface, which enhanced permeance. Meanwhile, the primary amine groups in AEP were protonated in water, aiding in boosting positive membrane charge and subsequently elevating its rejection capability for divalent cations. The ingenious combination of large molecule PEI and small molecule AEP served a dual purpose in promoting the membrane construction and performance.
