Three different Zr-MOFs, namely UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2 and MOF-808, were synthesized and anchored onto 2D MoS2 nanosheets forming MOF@MoS2 nanohybrids. These nanohybrids were integrated into PA TFC membranes using two distinct methods: (i) embedding them into the PA layer, resulting in thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes, and (ii) creating bilayered membranes with the nanohybrids beneath the PA layer. The membranes were evaluated for the removal of organic dyes, such as Rose Bengal (RB, 1017 Da), Sunset Yellow (SY, 452 Da) and Acridine Orange (AO, 265 Da), from water. The TFN membranes containing UiO-66@MoS2 nanohybrids exhibited the highest performance, with a water permeance of 12 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1 for the SY dye solution, representing a 140 % increase relative to the control PA TFC membrane. All membranes exhibited high rejection values (> 98 %), with performance strongly influenced by the dye size and charge. The characterization revealed that the porosity and sorption capacities of the nanohybrids are crucial to obtain more permeable membranes, but other factors such as negative surface charge, roughness and hydrophilicity play an important role. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T68-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FJC-2021-047822-I info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/CEX2023-001286-S info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/PID2022-138582OB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Luque-Alled, José Miguel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5002-7197 Téllez, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4954-1188 Coronas, Joaquín Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1512-4500 5005 555 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
