“…As a subclass of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), ZIFs possess both high specific surface area and ultrahigh porosity and have excellent chemical and thermal stability [2,3]. Owing to these fascinating physicochemical characteristics, ZIFs can be applied for various applications such as gas storage [4], adsorption/separation [5], sensors [6], biomedicine [7], supercapacitors [8,9], and catalysis [10,11]. To date, a large number of ZIFs, such as ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and ZIF-90, have been synthesized; among these, ZIF-90 is recognized as an attractive material for preparing gas separation membranes owing to its special pore structure [12].…”
