Introduction

The separation process provides a vast variety of requisite chemical products and materials, and is the most concentrated procedure of energy and raw material consumption in the chemical industry, accounting for nearly 10–15% of the global energy demand [1,2,3,4]. Hereinto, high-performance separation and purification of structurally similar compounds is an intriguing research subject of chemical engineering, including the separation of bioactive homologues with high added value, the separation of light hydrocarbons, and the removal of industrial waste gases. The molecular structures of the substances for these systems are very similar, there remains daunting challenges associated with separation. Traditional separation methods often suffer from intensive cost, high energy consumption for regeneration, environmental pollution, which restrict the sustainable development of chemical industry [5, 6]. The design and deployment of novel materials with selective functional...
