A homochiral MOF membrane was successfully and facilely synthesized using an in situ growth method, which had the advantages of cheap raw materials, simple operation and high thermal stability. A diol isomer mixture was used to test the separation efficiency of the membrane at different temperatures and pressures. A homochiral MOF membrane with high thermal stability was facilely prepared using an in situ growth. For the first time, chiral separation by a pervaporation process on MOF membranes was carried out at different temperatures and pressures.
