This work describes the development of ZIF-8 membranes supported on alumina hollow fiber via electroless deposition (ELD) of ZnO followed by solvothermal synthesis for water desalination. The relatively low operating temperature of ELD of ZnO provided an alternative method to fabricate pure-phase ZI...
