Great anchors and seeds : Hetero‐seeding growth processes and anchored nanorod arrays were successfully utilized in the synthesis of HKUST‐1 membranes. These arrays were firmly anchored on porous substrates by using a MIL‐110 nanorod array as both the anchor and seed (see scheme). The resulting HKUST‐1 membranes demonstrated good separation factors for binary gases exceeding the Knudson selectivity.
