“…In recent years, various porous nanomaterials were categorized as a new class of additives in the membranes. To date, several types of inorganic nanomaterials have been embedded in polymer membranes, such as zeolites [61], metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [62], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [63], porous organic cages (POCs) [64], silicas (mesoporous MCM-41) [65], graphene oxide (GO) [66], MOF-silica hybrid particles [67], titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) [68], magnesium oxide [69] and Ag-based particles [70]. All these materials possess specific intrinsic features that enable them to provide enhanced properties to composite membranes.…”
