Light‐Programmable Interfaces: From Molecular Photoswitching to Adaptive Membrane Separations
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This review advances an interface‐centered framework for light‐responsive membranes, linking molecular photoswitches (azobenzene (AZO), spiropyran (SP), diarylethene (DAE), donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA), photoacid) to integration strategies in polymeric, porous, self‐assembled, and mixed‐matrix systems.
