TL;DR: This review will first introduce the major foulants and the principal mechanisms of membrane fouling, and then highlight the development, current status and future prospects of antifouling membranes, including ant ifouling strategies, preparation techniques and practical applications.

TL;DR: This review will highlight the recent progress in antifouling membrane surface construction with a focus on five promising classes of chemistries: bioinspired adhesion chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, mineralization chemistry, click chemistry and coupling chemistry.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrathin composite membrane with enhanced nanofiltration performance was achieved by interfacial polymerization mediated by polydopamine (PDA)-covalent organic framework (COF) interlayer.

TL;DR: In this article, a positively charged composite nanofiltration membranes were facilely prepared by polydopamine (PDA) deposition followed by poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) grafting on polyethersulfone (PES) substrates.

TL;DR: The emerging top-down and bottom-up methods to synthesize high-quality 2D nanosheets and to prepare high-performance 2DNCMs are discussed and the strategies for regulating the physical and chemical microenvironments in the nanochannels are emphasized.
