Ultrathin-film composite membranes comprising an ultrathin polymeric active layer have been extensively explored in gas separation applications benefiting from their extraordinary permeation flux for high-throughput separation. However, the practical realization of an ultrathin active layer in liquid separations is still impeded by the trade-off effect between the membrane thickness (permeation flux) and structural stability (separation factor). Herein, we report a general multiple and alternate spin-coating strategy, collaborating with the interface-decoration layer of copper hydroxide nanofibers (CHNs), to obtain ultrathin and robust polymer-based membranes for high-performance liquid separations. The structural stability arises from the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)/CHN interpenetrated structure, which confers the synergistic effect between PDMS and CHNs to concurrently resist PDMS swelling and avoid CHNs from collapsing, while the ultrathin thickness is enabled by the sub-10 nm pore size of the CHN layer, the rapid cross-linking reaction during spin-coating, and the small thickness of the CHN layer. As a result, the as-prepared membrane possesses an exceptional butanol/water separation performance with a flux of 6.18 kg/(m(2) h) and a separation factor of 31, far exceeding the state-of-the-art polymer membranes. The strategy delineated in this work provides a straightforward method for the design of ultrathin and structurally stable polymer membranes, holding great potential for the practical application of high-efficiency separations.
