Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of organic–inorganic hybrid microporous crystalline materials formed by the self‐assembly of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Due to their high specific surface area, tunable pore structures, good thermal stability, and exceptional porosity, MOFs are introduced as novel fillers for incorporation in the polymeric matrix to form composite membranes for different applications. In this review, the synthesis methods of MOFs and the preparation methods of MOFs‐based membranes are summarized, focusing on the application of MOFs‐based membranes in water purification. In addition, the perspectives of MOFs‐based membranes in the separation field are proposed.
