Abstract
Esterification reactions are crucial in industries such as chemicals, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals but often face limitations due to high reversibility and low reactivity, leading to restricted yields. In this work, an electrified esterification pathway utilizing a Joule-heated interfacial catalysis (JIC) system is proposed, where a hydrophilic, sulfonic acid-functionalized covalent organic framework grown on carbon felt (COF─SO3H@CF) acts as the interfacial catalyst, and the carbon felt serves as the electric heat source. This approach achieves an acetic acid conversion of 80.5% at a heating power density of 0.49 W cm-3, without additional reagents by vaporizing reaction products, surpassing the theoretical equilibrium limit of 62.5% by 1.29 times. Comprehensive analysis indicates that the intimate contact between the electric heat source and the COF─SO3H catalyst enables efficient, localized Joule heating directly at catalytic sites, minimizing thermal losses and allowing precise control over reaction interfaces. This finding demonstrates that this JIC system not only enhances esterification efficiency but may also offer a sustainable, energy-efficient pathway for high-yield chemical processes.

Abstract
A catalytic composite membrane was developed for the enhancement of esterification by lyophilization for the first time. The catalytic composite membrane was composed of a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-sodium alginate (SA) separation layer and a spongy porous catalytic layer cross-linked by PVA and 4-sulfophthalic acid (SPA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated the successful synthesis of the catalytic composite membrane. The membrane properties were evaluated by ethanol dehydration and esterification. The conversion rate of acetic acid reached 95.9% after 12 h. Compared with batch reactions, the conversion rate increased by 24.4%. After five cycles, the membrane still maintained outstanding catalytic activity. The resistance of mass transfer was analyzed, and the results showed that the porous structure reduced the catalytic layer resistance to total resistance from 70.27 to 32.88%. The composite membrane with a spongy porous catalytic layer exhibited superior dehydration and catalytic performance.
