State-of-the-art polymeric membranes are unable to perform the high-precision ion separations needed for technologies essential a circular economy and clean energy future. Coordinative interactions mechanism increase sorption of target species into membrane, but effects these on membrane permeability selectivity poorly understood. We use multilayered polymer assess how ion-membrane binding energies affect similarly sized cations: Cu 2+ , Ni Zn Co Mg . report that metals with higher...

Thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes have remained the gold standard technology for desalination and water purification nearly half a century. Polyamide films offer excellent permeability salt rejection but also suffer from poor chlorine resistance, high fouling propensity, low boron rejection. We addressed these issues by molecularly designing polyester thin-film membrane using co-solvent-assisted interfacial polymerization to react 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid with trimesoyl...

A novel positively charged nanofiltration membrane has been prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids on surface a polyamide thin film composite with poly(amidoamine) dendrimer in presence 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as an activating agent. The was excellent grafting efficiency and showed high isoelectric point pH 9.9. Because density free protonated amino groups, rejections toward various toxic elements including Cu2+, Ni2+ Pb2+. rejection order also followed size ions terms their...

A sulfonated thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration membrane was fabricated using 2,2′-benzidinedisulfonic acid (BDSA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a polyether sulfone substrate by conventional interfacial polymerization. Due to nascent barrier layer with loose architecture, the obtained TFC-BDSA-0.2 showed an ultrahigh pure water permeability of 48.1 ± 2.1 L–1 m–2 h–1 bar–1, considerably low NaCl retention ability <1.8% over concentration range 10–100 g L–1. The membrane, which...

Forward osmosis (FO) can potentially treat textile wastewaters with less fouling than pressure-driven membrane processes such as reverse and nanofiltration. However, conventional FO membranes asymmetric architecture experience severe flux decline caused by internal concentration polarization dye molecules accumulate on the surface. In this study, we present a new strategy for concentrating using self-standing, support-free symmetric structure. The was fabricated facile solution-casting...

The functional loss of membranes caused by pore wetting, mineral scaling, or structural instability is a critical challenge in membrane distillation (MD), which primarily hinders its practical applications. Herein, we propose novel and facile strategy to fabricate omniphobic with exceptionally robust MD performance. Specifically, substrate hierarchical re-entrant architecture was constructed via spray-water-assisted non-solvent-induced phase separation (SWNIPS), followed direct fluorinated...

Traditional food packaging has problems such as nondegradable and poor safety. Edible films play an important role in packaging, transportation storage, having become a focus of research due to their low cost, renewable, degradable, safe non-toxic characteristics. According the different materials edible substrate, are usually categorized into proteins, polysaccharides composite films. Functional properties prepared from substrate also vary, single defective some aspects. ingredients...

To improve proton conduction properties of conventional sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK), poly(2,5-benzimidazole)-grafted graphene oxide (ABPBI-GO) was prepared to fabricate nanocomposite membranes, which then were further doped with phosphoric acid (PA). The ABPBI-GO synthesized through the reaction 3,4-diaminobenzoic carboxyl groups present on GO surface. simultaneous incorporation and PA into SPEEK did not only physicochemical performance membranes in terms thermal stability,...
