Nanoporous membranes exhibit wide applications in the fields of energy, environmental, and analytical science. Among all nanoporous membrane materials, degradable block copolymers (DBCP) have attracted attention due to their well-defined nanopores, high porosity, narrow pore size distributions, and abundant functional end-groups. In this review, the fabrication strategies of DBCP-derived nanoporous membranes are described first, including degradation of sacrificial blocks, cleavage of block-linkers, and the removal of pore-forming agents. Secondly, the extensive applications of DBCP-derived nanoporous membranes are discussed. Generally, they have been used for separation membranes, nanotemplates, etched masks, catalysis, electronics, biomedicine, etc. Finally, the possible development directions and challenges of DBCP-derived nanoporous membranes in various applications are proposed. |
