| description | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recognized as promising materials for membrane-based separation technologies due to their exceptional porosity, structural tunability, and chemical stability. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the advancements in structure engineering and design strategies that have been employed to optimize UiO-66 membranes for enhanced separation performance. Various synthesis methods for UiO-66 membranes are explored, with a focus on modulated approaches that incorporate different modulators to fine-tune nucleation rates and crystallization processes. The influence of preferred orientation, membrane thickness, pore size, pore surface chemistry, and hierarchical structures on the separation performance is concluded. By providing a consolidated overview of current research efforts and future directions in UiO-66 membrane development, this review aims to inspire further advancements in the field of separation technologies. |
