摘要
Crystalline imine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted great interest as next-generation water treatment materials owning to their numerous merits. The construction of COF layers with tunable pore sizes ranging from meso- to micropores, which can significantly broaden the membrane selectivity from ultra- (UF) to nanofiltration (NF), has remained unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate the controllable solvothermal synthesis of COF layers with adjustable pore sizes on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrates. With rising synthesis duration the modulation on pore sizes of AAO supports can be achieved till the formation of continuous COF layers, leading to a gradually enhanced selectivity. Importantly, the synthesized microporous COFs shrink the pore sizes of AAO substrates and provide additional nanochannels for water transporting, eventuating in a ~2–9 times higher permeance than other reported UF membranes with comparable rejections. Once forming continuous COF layers, more rigid selectivities based on COF inherent nanochannels (~1.83 nm) can be realized with capacities of removing dyes from water or organic solvent. This work provides a facile methodology to construct COF-based membranes with broadly tunable separation performance, recommending the membranes for removing targeted molecules including proteins, nanoparticles, and dyes.
