Abstract

Recent advances in the water-energy landscape hinge upon our improved understanding of the complex morphology of materials involved in water treatment and energy production. Due to their versatility and tunability for applications ranging from drug delivery to fuel cells, polymeric systems will play a crucial role in shaping the future of water-energy nexus applications. Electron tomography (ET) stands as a transformative approach for elucidating the intricate structures inherent to polymers, offering unparalleled insights into their nanoscale architectures and functional properties in three dimensions. In particular, the various morphological and chemical characteristics of polymer membranes provide opportunities for perturbations to standard ET for the study of these systems. We discuss the applications of transmission electron microscopy in establishing structure-function relationships in polymeric membranes with an emphasis on traditional ET and cryogenic ET (cryo-ET). The synergy between ET and cryo-ET to unravel structural complexities and dynamic behaviors of polymer membranes holds immense potential in driving progress and innovation across frontiers related to water-energy nexus applications. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering , Volume 15 is June 2024.

从电子断层扫描看聚合物膜的三维形态。

水-能源领域的最新进展取决于我们对参与水处理和能源生产的材料的复杂形态的进一步了解。由于聚合物系统在药物输送和燃料电池等应用领域具有多功能性和可调性，它们将在塑造水-能源关系应用的未来方面发挥至关重要的作用。电子断层扫描（ET）是阐明聚合物内在复杂结构的一种变革性方法，可提供对其纳米级结构和三维功能特性的无与伦比的深入了解。特别是，聚合物膜的各种形态和化学特性为研究这些系统提供了对标准 ET 进行扰动的机会。我们讨论了透射电子显微镜在建立聚合物膜结构-功能关系方面的应用，重点是传统 ET 和低温 ET（冷冻 ET）。透射电子显微镜和低温透射电子显微镜在揭示聚合物膜的结构复杂性和动态行为方面的协同作用，在推动与水-能源关系应用相关的前沿领域的进步和创新方面具有巨大潜力。化学与生物分子工程年度综述》第 15 卷的最终在线出版日期预计为 2024 年 6 月。修订后的预计日期请参见 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
