Membrane technology plays a central role in advancing separation processes, particularly in water treatment. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have transformative potential in this field due to their adjustable structures and robustness. However, conventional COF membrane synthesis methods are often associated with challenges, such as time-consuming processes and limited control over surface properties. Our study demonstrates a rapid, microwave-assisted method to synthesize self-standing COF membranes within minutes. This approach allows control over the wettability of the surface and achieves superhydrophilic and near-hydrophobic properties. A thorough characterization of the membrane allows a detailed analysis of the membrane properties and the difference in wettability between its two faces. Microwave activation accelerates the self-assembly of the COF nanosheets, whereby the thickness of the membrane can be controlled by adjusting the time of the reaction. The superhydrophilic vapor side of the membrane results from -NH2 reactions with acetic acid, while the nearly hydrophobic dioxane side has terminal aldehyde groups. Leveraging the superhydrophilic face, water filtration at high water flux, complete oil removal, increased rejection with anionic dye size, and resistance to organic fouling were achieved. The TTA-DFP-COF membrane opens new avenues for research to address the urgent need for water purification, distinguished by its synthesis speed, simplicity, and superior separation capabilities.
