Three diamine monomers (ethylenediamine, butylenediamine, and p-phenylenediamine) were selected for cross-linking graphene oxide (GO) to prepare composite oxide-framework (GOF) membranes through filtration using a pressure-assisted self-assembly technique. The applied separate an ethanol–water mixture by pervaporation. Unmodified GO comprised only hydrogen bonds π–π interactions, but after it with diamine, attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared X-ray photoelectron...

Abstract Separating molecules or ions with sub-Angstrom scale precision is important but technically challenging. Achieving such a precise separation using membranes requires Angstrom pores high level of pore size uniformity. Herein, we demonstrate that solute-solute can be achieved polyamide formed via surfactant-assembly regulated interfacial polymerization (SARIP). The dynamic, self-assembled network surfactants facilitates faster and more homogeneous diffusion amine monomers across the...

Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were engineered to be assembled into laminar structures having fast and selective transport channels for gas separation. With molecular-sieving interlayer spaces straight diffusion pathways, the GO laminates endowed as-prepared membranes with excellent preferential CO2 permeation performance (CO2 permeability: 100 Barrer, CO2/N2 selectivity: 91) extraordinary operational stability (>6000 min), which are attractive implementation of practical capture.

Abstract Water transport rate in network membranes is inversely correlated to thickness, thus superior permeance achievable with ultrathin prepared by complicated methods circumventing nanofilm weakness and defects. Conferring ultrahigh easily thicker remains challenging. Here, a tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) monomer discovered that enables straightforward modification of polyamide composite membranes. the modified membrane ≈6 times improved, give rising permeability...

Interfacial polymerization (IP) and self-assembly are two thermodynamically different processes involving an interface in their systems. When the systems incorporated, will exhibit extraordinary characteristics generate structural morphological transformation. In this work, ultrapermeable polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane with crumpled surface morphology enlarged free volume was fabricated via IP reaction introduction of self-assembled surfactant micellar system. The mechanisms...
