Abstract Polysulfone (PSf) is a favorite polymer for the production of membrane due to its excellent physicochemical properties, including thermal stability; good chemical resistance to different materials such as different bases, acids, and chlorine; sufficient mechanical strength; and good processability. The present study offers an overview of the recent development in the application and modification of PSf membranes, focusing on some applications such as water and wastewater treatment, membrane distillation, pollutant removal, gas separation, separator for lithium ion battery, and support of composite membranes. In general, there are two major difficulties in the use of membranes made of PSf: membrane fouling and membrane wetting. Therefore, PSf membrane with good anticompaction and antifouling properties is reviewed. Finally, important issues related to the modification of PSf membranes for real applications are discussed. This article provides an intelligent direction for the progress of PSf membranes in the future.
