This review focuses on state-of-the-art solutions and strategies for MOF/polymer interface issues in mixed matrix membranes.

Stable emission in glass: Lead halide perovskites can exhibit bright, narrow band photoluminescence but have stability issues related to formation of inactive phases and the loss of lead ions. Hou et al . show that the black, photoactive phase of cesium lead iodide can be stabilized by forming a composite with a glassy phase of a metal-organic framework through liquid-phase sintering. The photoluminescence is at least two orders of magnitude greater than that of the pure perovskite. The glass stabilizes the perovskite under high laser excitation, and about 80% of the photoluminescence was maintained after 10,000 hours of water immersion. —PDS
