Nanoporous organosilica membranes are successfully coated on porous alumina tubes and tested for desalination via membrane distillation. The membranes produced pure water (up to 13 L m h) across an extreme range of salt concentrations (10-150 g L NaCl) at moderate temperatures (≤ 60 °C) without exhibiting the characteristic flux decay of competing materials.
