Thin-Film Composite Membrane with Interlayer Decorated Metal–Organic Framework UiO-66 toward Enhanced Forward Osmosis Performance

This study reports a new interlayer decoration method for fabricating thin film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membranes. Metal–organic framework (UiO-66) particles were dispersed at the aqueous–organic interface before interfacial polymerization. Both the TFC membrane without UiO-66 and the conventionally UiO-66 incorporated membrane prepared by interfacial polymerization were fabricated as the control for comparison. Compared with the...
