Abstract
During the last decade, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been applied in various fields due to their unique chemical and functional advantages. One of the widespread research hotspots is MOF-based membranes for separations, specifically continuous defect-free MOF membranes, which are usually grown on porous substrates. The substrate not only serves as the MOF layer support but also has a great influence on the membrane fabrication process and the final separation performance of the resultant membrane. In this review, we mainly introduce the progress focused on the substrates for MOF membranes fabrication. The substrate modifications and seeding methods aimed at synthesizing high-quality MOF membranes are also summarized systematically.
