    Abstract The membrane process stands as a promising and transformative technology for efficient gas separation due to its high energy efficiency, operational simplicity, low environmental impact, and easy up-and-down scaling. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine MOFs' superior gas-separation performance with polymers' processing versatility, offering the opportunity to address the limitations of pure polymer or inorganic membranes for large-scale integration. However, the incompatibility between the rigid MOFs and flexible polymer chains poses a challenge in MOF MMM fabrication, which can cause issues such as MOF agglomeration, sedimentation, and interfacial defects, substantially weakening membrane separation efficiency and mechanical properties, particularly gas separation. This review focuses on engineering MMMs' interfaces, detailing recent strategies for reducing interfacial defects, improving MOF dispersion, and enhancing MOF loading. Advanced characterisation techniques for understanding membrane properties, specifically the MOF-polymer interface, are outlined. Lastly, it explores the remaining challenges in MMM research and outlines potential future research directions.

    Abstract The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.

    Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), sometimes also known as coordination polymers, are a very versatile group of materials consisting of metal nodes and organic linkers forming a tunable porous structure that can exist in different structural phases. The capability to synthesise MOF films allows for application in many different fields such as separation, energy, and catalysis. This perspective aims to explore the transport mechanism and tuning strategies in different types of MOF thin films tailored for different applications. Intracrystalline transport, which has been widely studied, has been shown to successfully aid in the selective transport of different molecules by adjusting the MOF's pore structure and environment. However, in the context of thin film, it is also important to consider interframework (for mixed matrix membrane (MMM) thin film) or intercrystalline (for polycrystalline thin film) based transport as it also directly impacts the overall transport of the thin film. Here we highlight the current intracrystalline and intercrystalline/interframework transport tuning strategies, as well as chart a course for future transport tuning strategies tailored for current and future applications.

    Abstract The past few decades have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of sustainable energy technologies. As a new bio- and eco-friendly energy source, enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) have garnered significant research interest due to their capacity to power implantable bioelectronics, portable devices, and biosensors by utilizing biomass as fuel under mild circumstances. Nonetheless, numerous obstacles impeded the commercialization of EBFCs, including their relatively modest power output and poor long-term stability of enzymes. To depict the current progress of EBFC and address the challenges it faces, this review traces back the evolution of EBFC and focuses on contemporary advances such as newly emerged multi or single enzyme systems, various porous framework-enzyme composites techniques, and innovative applications. Besides emphasizing current achievements in this field, from our perspective part we also introduced novel electrode and cell design for highly effective EBFC fabrication. We believe this review will assist readers in comprehending the basic research and applications of EBFCs as well as potentially spark interdisciplinary collaboration for addressing the pressing issues in this field.

    Abstract Enzyme catalysis has clear advantages in the process of oxidizing glucose to produce gluconic acid. In the enzyme cascade, the improvement of the cascade efficiency is desired but challenging. Graphene oxide (GO) and ZIF-8 composites as enzyme support offer the promising opportunity that not only the cascade efficiency can be improved by control the distance between two enzymes, but also the stability can be improved. Here, a new strategy of GO assisted co-growth of ZIF-8 and enzyme was carried in a one-pot synthesis. Glucose oxidase&catalase immobilized in the ZIF-8/GO composites can obtain 98% residual activity after 15 days of storage with almost no enzyme shedding. The residual activity is still higher than 75% after 5 repeated uses. The presented method of controllable growth of metal organic frameworks on 2D nanosheet can also be extended for renewable energy devices, gas storage and separation of small molecules.

    Abstract Strong interfacial interactions between the filler(s) and chosen polymer in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is a crucial factor in obtaining high gas separation efficiency. However, it is challenging to obtain excellent filler/polymer contact simply by direct incorporation of micron-sized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into a polymer matrix without modification. In this study micron-sized ZIF-67 particles were coated with a thin layer of 3 different ionic liquids (ILs) and characterized for the change in adsorption properties. The coated ZIF-67 particles were then incorporated into 6FDA-durene polymer at different loadings to fabricate MMMs for gas separation. Playing the role of interfacial binder, all ILs effectively enhanced the polymer/ZIF adhesion, minimizing the formation of non-selective interfacial defects, which was evidenced by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as by the focus ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), leading to an increment in CO2/N2, CO2/CH4 and C3H6/C3H8 selectivity. The successful combination of ZIF-67/IL is proposed as a potential method to overcome the interfacial issues in MMMs, particularly in the application of larger micron-sized fillers.

    Abstract This research involved carrying out a unique micro-mesoporous carbon particle incorporation into P84 co-polyimide membrane for improved gas separation performance. The carbon filler was prepared using a hard template method from zeolite and known as zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC). This research aims to study the loading amount of ZTC into P84 co-polyimide toward the gas separation performance. The ZTC was prepared using simple impregnation method of sucrose into hard template of zeolite Y. The SEM result showing a dispersed ZTC particle on the membrane surface and cross-section. The pore size distribution (PSD) of ZTC revealed that the particle consists of two characteristics of micro and mesoporous region. It was noted that with only 0.5 wt% of ZTC addition, the permeability was boosted up from 4.68 to 7.06 and from 8.95 to 13.15 barrer, for CO

    Abstract Nanodiamonds (ND) have recently emerged as excellent candidates for various applications including membrane technology due to their nanoscale size, non-toxic nature, excellent mechanical and thermal properties, high surface areas and tuneable surface structures with functional groups. However, their non-porous structure and strong tendency to aggregate are hindering their potential in gas separation membrane applications. To overcome those issues, this study proposes an efficient approach by decorating the ND surface with polyethyleneimine (PEI) before embedding it into the polymer matrix to fabricate MMMs for CO
