For example, the increase of permeability inevitably leads to the decrease of membrane selectivity, which greatly limits the development and application thereof. Therefore, how to improve the trade-off effect of the membrane and simultaneously improve the permeability and selectivity of the membrane is the key to the preparation of the high-performance nanofiltration membrane.
