Covalent organic framework membranes for efficient separation of monovalent cations

Membrane technology holds great promise in separating monovalent cations but the sub-nanometer ion size and the small difference in ion size makes separation of monovalent cations a challenging task. Here, the authors demonstrate the efficient separation of monovalent cations using a COF membrane.
