Figure 1

Illustration showing polyvinyl alcohol/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (PVA/ZIF-8) composite membrane with molecular screening effect: easy penetration of smaller hydroxide ions and suppression of larger methanol molecules. The methanol may transfer through the ZIF-8 external surface but has a limited diffusion rate in PVA matrix.
