Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based membranes hold great potential for water purification but are not used in practical applications due to challenges in scaling them up. The nanoreactor-confined crystallization strategy enables rapid and roll-to-roll fabrication of high-performance ultra-thin (∼25 nm) MOF hybrid membranes (0.33 m × 35 m) that show high performance in separating close-size solutes present in aqueous solutions.
