Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes still suffer from fouling and biofouling. In this work, by incorporating a graphene oxide (GO)-silver-based metal-organic framework (Ag-MOF) into the TFC selective layer, we synthesized thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane that has notably improved anti-biofouling antifouling properties. The TFN more negative surface charge, higher hydrophilicity, water permeability compared with membrane. Fluorescence imaging revealed GO-Ag-MOF kills Escherichia (E.)...
MXenes have significantly impacted materials science and nanotechnology since their discovery in 2011. Theoretical calculations predicted more than 100 possible compositions of lab-scale fabrication 40 MXene structures has been reported to date. The unique characteristics made them an ideal fit for a wide variety applications, including energy storage, environmental, electronics, communications, gas liquid separations adsorption, biomedical, optoelectronics. attracted many researchers, as...
Abstract This work describes the fabrication of a novel electroconductive membrane made Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene) nanosheet coating through one‐step pressure‐assisted technique. ‐MXene is firmly attached over polyamide–imide (PAI) microfilter by employing binder composed carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/glutaraldehyde (GA). Through proper amount multilayer ‐MXene, electrical conductivity 174 ± 0.16 S m −1 achieved. The rejection rates reactive red 120 (RR120), black (RB), and methyl orange (MO)...
Abstract Silver‐based nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention due to their antimicrobial activities. In this work, a silver (Ag)‐based metal organic framework (Ag‐MOF) is embellished with graphene‐oxide (GO), leading the fabrication of novel Ag‐based nanocomposite (GO‐Ag‐MOF) whose biocidal activity higher than those Ag‐MOF and GO nanomaterials. The characterized using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning microscope, Fourier transform...
In this study, a polyamide forward osmosis membrane was functionalized with zwitterions followed by the in situ growth of metal–organic frameworks silver as metal core (Ag-MOFs) to improve its antibacterial and antifouling activity. First, 3-bromopropionic acid grafted onto surface after activation N,N-diethylethylenediamine. Then, Ag-MOFs achieved simple immersion sequentially nitrate solution ligand (2-methylimidazole), exploiting underlying binding sites for metal. The successful...
In this work, nanorods with high antibacterial properties were synthesized silver acetate as the metal source and 2-aminoterephthalic acid organic linker then embedded into thin-film composite (TFC) membranes to amend their performance well alleviate biofouling. Silver metal–organic framework (Ag-MOF) a length smaller than 40 nm incorporated within polyamide thin selective layer of during interfacial polymerization. The interaction was favored because presence amine-containing functional...
In this study, a hydrophilic metal–organic framework (MOF) was applied to improve the performance of cellulosic membrane for forward osmosis (FO) desalination application.
This work shows that incorporating highly compatible polyrhodanine nanoparticles (PRh-NPs) into a polyamide (PA) active layer allows for fabricating forward osmosis (FO) thin-film composite (TFC)-PRh membranes have simultaneously improved antimicrobial, antifouling, and transport properties. To the best of our knowledge, this is first reported study its kind to date. The presence PRh-NPs on surface TFC-PRh layers evaluated using FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, XPS. microscopic interactions their...
MXenes, 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, have been investigated for diverse applications since their discovery; however, life-cycle assessment (LCA) has not studied.
