The two-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) membrane material TpOMe-BMTH was prepared on the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrate with 2, 5-di-(2-methoxy-methoxy-ethoxy)-phenylmethylhydrazide (BMTH) and 2, 4, 6-trimethoxy-1, 3, 5-benzenetricarbaldehyde (TpOMe) condensation based on interfacial polymerization. The separation properties of the obtained membrane material for lithium and magnesium ions were investigated. Results showed that the TpOMe-BMTH/AAO membranes possessed high crystallization, good stability, and excellent metal ion selectivity, with a separation factor of up to 258 for Li⁺/Mg²⁺ in a binary salt system consisting of LiCl (0.1 mol·L^-1) and MgCl₂ (0.1 mol·L^-1). The plane wave pseudopotential method calculation based on the density functional theory showed that the binding energy of the oxygen-rich oligoether chains in the material pore for Li⁺ and Mg²⁺ was -282.69 or -13.46 kJ·mol^-1. This result means that the obtained membrane has stronger lithium-philic properties and promotes Li⁺ adsorption diffusion along the one-dimensional pore of the COF membrane, finally enabling the efficient separation of lithium and magnesium ions.
