To improve operation efficiency, an interlayered thin-film composite forward osmosis (iTFC-FO) membrane was designed by introducing an ultrathin and porous interlayer based on aluminum tetra-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (a stable metal−organic framework nanosheet, Al-MOF). Surface characterization results revealed that Al-MOF spread evenly in the macro-porous substrate, and provided a flat and smooth reaction interface with moderate hydrophilicity and uniform small aperture. The resultant polyamide (PA) layer had a thin base (without intrusion into substrate) and crumpled surface (with abundant leaves). The leaves size and cross-linking degree of PA layer firstly increased and then decreased with the Al-MOF loading. Compared to the original membrane, the iTFC-FO showed an enhanced water permeability and a reduced reverse sodium flux in both modes of active layer facing feed solution (AL-FS) and active layer facing draw solution (AL-DS). To be specific, the specific reverse sodium flux (reverse sodium flux/pure water flux) decreased from 0.27 g/L to 0.04 g/L in the AL-FS mode, while from 1.36 g/L to 0.23 g/L in the AL-DS mode with 2 mol/L NaCl as DS. Moreover, the iTFC-FO maintained high stability and high permeability under high-salinity and contaminated environment. This study offers a new possibility for the rational fabrication of high-performance TFC-FO membranes.
