Synthesis of covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) with high aspect ratio is crucial to their assembly into advanced membranes. Nonetheless, the π-π stacking between covalent organic framework (COF) layers often leads to thick CONs. Herein, inspired by biomineralization process, a series of aspect ratio CONs >15 000 is synthesized by multifunctional polyelectrolytes which not only provide the nucleation sites for pre-assembly with COF monomer, but also suppress π-π interaction for anisotropic growth through protonation. The membrane assembled from CONs exhibited water permeance of 341 kg m h and salt rejection of 99.5% in desalination, outperforming ever-reported membranes. This method establishes a platform for the synthesis of crystalline nanosheets.
合成具有高纵横比的共价有机框架纳米片(CONs)对于将其组装成先进的膜至关重要。然而,共价有机框架(COF)层之间的π-π堆积通常会导致CONs变厚。在此,受生物矿化过程的启发,通过多功能聚电解质合成了一系列纵横比>15000的CONs,这些聚电解质不仅为与COF单体的预组装提供成核位点,还通过质子化抑制π-π相互作用以实现各向异性生长。由CONs组装而成的膜在脱盐过程中表现出341 kg m⁻² h⁻¹的水渗透通量和99.5%的盐截留率,优于以往报道的膜。该方法为结晶纳米片的合成建立了一个平台。
