Enhanced Dye Separation With Mixed Matrix Membranes Incorporating <scp>ZIF</scp>‐8@<scp>COF</scp> Binary Nanofillers

ABSTRACT Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have emerged as a promising solution for the treatment of dye wastewater. A key challenge in advancing MMMs is how to effectively integrate two nanofillers with distinct advantages to mitigate the limitations of single‐nanofiller systems. In this study, we present a binary nanofiller strategy, utilizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), to fabricate polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based MMMs. By systematically adjusting the mass ratio of ZIF‐8 MOF and TFB‐BD(Me) 2 COF, the separation efficiency of membranes for dyes with different charges, capitalizing on the molecular sieving properties of MOFs and the superior compatibility of COFs was evaluated. The optimized membrane demonstrated a rejection of 91.66% for Congo red (CR), along with a water permeance of 641.9 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 . This work represents a novel attempt in the design of binary‐nanofiller MMMs, offering new insights into the synergistic effects of hybrid nanofillers in membrane technology.
