Abstract

A submicron thick diboronic acid linked GOF/polyvinyl alcohol hybrid membrane was prepared for the first time. The uniform inter-spacing of the GOF membrane excludes the diffusion of large molecules based on a molecular sieving mechanism. It exhibits high stability and excellent sieving performance in solvent (≥C3) dehydration (SFs > 10,000).
