Advances in high-throughput screening (HTS) metrologies could accelerate discovery of superior polymeric membranes for separation of liquid mixtures. However, HTS remains underexploited in membrane materials research. This review examines relevant advances in membrane materials and HTS techniques made since 2000, including both predictive and direct screening approaches that are applicable to membranes for liquid mixture separation. Advances in dense polymeric and mixed-matrix materials for hydrophilic and organophilic membranes are discussed. Recent studies demonstrating predictive and direct HTS approaches on membranes for separation of liquid mixtures are summarized. The synergistic combination of HTS with molecular simulations and machine learning is suggested as a potentially powerful approach to accelerating discovery of polymeric and mixed-matrix membranes that exhibit exceptional performance.
