Abstract：

Microwave-assisted heating technique has been widely used in energy-efficient synthesis of zeolite membranes due to its unique properties like uniform bulk heating, nucleation-related bottleneck effect, thermal effect, and non-thermal effect. This review briefly introduces the basic principle and heating characteristics regarding microwave-assisted synthesis of zeolite membranes and systematically summarizes the most recent progress in microwave-assisted synthesis of zeolite membranes, including single-mode microwave-assisted synthesis of zeolite membranes, microwave-assisted microstructural modulation of zeolite membranes, and typical application cases of industrial-scale batch production of zeolite membranes by microwave-assisted heating. Finally, we highlight the future direction and application prospects of microwave-assisted synthesis of zeolite membranes.
