▎ 摘  要

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have welldefined porosity and stability. Herein, we demonstrate that 2DCOFs can have three roles in nanolaminated graphene membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). The optimized hybrid nano laminate, assembled from 2D-COFs and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), shows a 162% enhancement in methanol permeance without sacrificing selectivity. When dry, intercalated 2D-COFs serve as a nanospacer to prevent the restacking of rGO. However, when wetted, 2D-COFs assume the additional roles of a stabilizer and a porous filler material. 2D-COFs alleviate rGO swelling in solvents because of a solvation-driven charge redistribution at the COF/ rGO interface, which induces an attractive stabilizing force between COF and rGO nanosheets. Further, 2D-COFs can reduce transport pathway length by 15.5% and deliver "shortcuts"for solvent permeance. This work unravels the tripartite role of 2D-COFs as nanospacers/stabilizers/porous fillers, offering new insights into shaping the development of hybrid nanolaminated membranes for OSN.
