Well-intergrown polycrystalline UiO-66 membranes were successfully synthesized on a polymeric substrate under mild synthesis conditions of a lower temperature and short synthesis time. The resulted UiO-66 membranes with fast water selective transport channels exhibited unprecedentedly high solvent dehydration performance with a permeation flux of ∼6100 g m-2 h-1 and a separation factor of ∼7500, showing great potential for intensification of esterification reaction.
