We present the fabrication and electrical characterization of a flexible hybrid composite structure using aligned multiwall carbon nanotube arrays in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrix. Using lithographically patterned arrays, one can make these structures at any length scale from submicrometer levels to bulk quantities. The PDMS matrix undergoes excellent conformal filling within dense network, giving rise extremely conducting with unique electromechanical properties. demonstrate its...
While reverse osmosis (RO) is the leading technology to address global challenge of water scarcity through desalination and potable reuse wastewater, current RO membranes fall short in rejecting certain harmful constituents from seawater (e.g., boron) wastewater [e.g., N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)]. In this study, we develop an ultraselective polyamide (PA) membrane by enhancing interfacial polymerization with amphiphilic metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoflakes. These MOF nanoflakes...
In this study, we develop Janus membranes comprising a hydrophilic zwitterionic polymer layer and an omniphobic (all-liquid-repelling) porous substrate that simultaneously possess fouling wetting resistances. An membrane was first fabricated by attaching silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) to the fibers of quartz fiber mat, creating multilevel re-entrant structures, followed surface fluorination reduce energy. The then grafting brush via surface-initiated atom-transfer radical-polymerization (ATRP)...
We report the interfacial tension between carbon dioxide and aqueous solutions of mixed salt system (0.864 NaCl + 0.136 KCl) with total molalities (0.98 4.95) mol·kg–1. The measurements were made at temperatures (298 473) K various pressures up to 50 MPa by means imaging a pendant drop CO2-saturated brine surrounded water-saturated CO2 phase. expanded uncertainties 95 % confidence are 0.05 in temperature, 70 kPa pressure, for γ, larger 0.016γ 0.6 mN·m–1. results study indicate that increases...
Widespread applications of reverse osmosis (RO)-based processes call for high-performance thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. In this study, a TFC membrane by incorporating an ultrathin 2D metal–organic framework (MOF) (ZnTCPP) interlayer was developed water purification, and the mechanisms in enhancing permeability selectivity were revealed. The introduction MOF nanosheet nearly tripled permeance (4.82 ± 0.55 L m–2 h–1 bar–1) with simultaneous increase NaCl rejection (97.4 0.6%) compared...
Membrane distillation (MD) has been receiving considerable attention as a promising technology for desalinating industrial wastewaters. While hydrophobic membranes are essential the process, increasing membrane surface hydrophobicity generally leads to reduction of water vapor flux. In this study, we investigate mechanisms responsible trade-off relation in MD. We prepared with different degrees wetting resistance through coating quartz fiber series alkylsilane molecules while preserving...
While capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technology for the recovery of nutrients from wastewater, selective phosphate wastewater containing high concentrations competing ions still huge challenge. Herein, we reported ferrocene-polyaniline-functionalized carbon nanotube (Fc-PANI/CNT) electrode prepared through amidation reaction and chemical oxidation polymerization, aiming highly phosphorus wastewater. The Fc-PANI/CNT with unique structure conductivity could efficiently adsorb...
Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are playing increasingly crucial roles in addressing emerging environmental challenges by precise separation, yet understanding of the selective transport mechanism is still limited. In this work, underlying mechanisms governing selectivity polyamide NF membrane were elucidated using a series monovalent cations with minor hydrated radius difference. The observed single cation was neither correlated nor hydration energy, which could not be explained widely...
