In article number 1804138 , Karen De Clerck and co‐workers describe how silica nanofibrous membranes produced by direct electrospinning of a sol‐gel solution without a sacrificing polymer allow high‐end separation and purification due to a high thermal and chemical resistance. The water repellent or absorbing nature can be tuned by applying a humidity or thermal treatment. It is showcased that fast gravity driven membrane separation of heterogeneous azeotropes can be achieved.
