range of appealing properties are observed on MOFs, such as high surface areas and porosity, ordered open channels, and tunable functionalities, making them attractive for applications in gas storage, [2,3] separation, [4,5] catalysis, [6,7] sensing, [8] and environmental decontamination. [9] However, their utilization in above applications is limited due to the brittle nature in powder phase. As a result, further handling and processing is required for industrial applications. As reported in literature, MOF-membrane integration is a robust strategy to extend the exceptional properties of MOFs by providing them the required structural integrity, this can be achieved by growing MOF layers on substrates [10][11][12] or by incorporating MOF crystals into mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). [13][14][15] The later approach is the most attractive scenario, because high MOF loadings can be achieved. The MMMs show marked advantages to the single component, since MOF crystals provide rich molecular sieving sites and the polymeric membrane substrates are easy to handle and process.While the MOF-based MMMs exhibit excellent priorities, there still remain limitations on the mixed-matrix approach: [14,16] i) trade-offs between MOF loadings and membrane functions. Specifically, high MOF loadings generally increase the possibility of phase separation, decreasing strength, and creating cracks, while low loadings usually result in insufficient selectivity due to the reduced number of active sites; and ii) the existence of by-pass caused by interfacial voids between polymers and MOFs would inevitably hinder the real separation performance, which leads to an unpredictable and low selectivity.In order to eliminate these concerns, we propose a robust methodology to produce substrate-free MOF membranes via a pseudomorphic replication synthesis route. Pseudomorphic replication, stemmed from the natural pseudomorphic mineral replacement phenomenon, had been initially introduced by Kitagawa and his coworkers concerning shaped and assembled synthesis of MOF structures. [17] Through the coordination-driven pseudomorphic replication of MOF conversion, precise spatial localization of MOF crystal crystallization can be achieved. [18] Additionally, it was observed that the MOF replica would retain the original physical structure, including shapes and dimensions from its parent phase. Inspired by Metal organic framework (MOF)-based adsorptive membranes are attractive materials in high flux separation and/or in abatement of hazardous materials. However, fabrication of continuous MOF membrane with ultra-high loading and anti-solvent property is a challenging task. Here, the authors report a coordination replication synthetic approach via a morphological replacement procedure that employs pre-shaped Al 2 O 3 microfiltration membrane to produce freestanding MOF multifunctional membrane (FMMMs). The authors achieve precise control of crystal size, morphology, and orientation on the FMMMs. Moreover, the intrinsic porous structure inherited from Al 2 O 3 p...
