“…Organic-inorganic hybrid materials are a new field of composite materials that combine many excellent properties of organic and inorganic materials, such as the low density, good viscoelasticity, high toughness, and good processability of organic materials, and the high hardness, high modulus of elasticity, high strength, better light transmission, and high refractive index of inorganic materials [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Organic-inorganic hybrid membrane materials combine the excellent properties of both organic and inorganic components, and their rapid development provides new ideas for the design and development of membrane materials [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In 1985, Schmidt H successfully prepared a class of amorphous solids using organically modified alkoxysilanes R′ n Si(OR) 4−n (n = 1–3, R is alkyl and R′ is an organic short chain) as precursors via a sol-gel reaction [ 19 ].…”
