Abstract
Poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) is a premier engineering plastic, which has gained considerable attention in recent years. Our prior research investigated crystallization template techniques and pore formation mechanisms within the PEEK/poly (ether imide) system, paving the way for the development of hierarchically porous membranes (HPMs). Compared to single-porous membranes, HPMs demonstrate enhanced flux and high mass transfer efficiency simultaneously, effectively mitigating the trade-off effects. In this study, we focused on fabricating PEEK HPMs through precise manipulation of a polymer ternary blend system. The meticulous tuning enables intricate control of the hierarchical pore morphology of PEEK at two distinct scales. The finite element simulations not only underscored the crucial role of hierarchical pores in bolstering separation efficiency, but also exhibited strong concordance with the experimental findings. This study provides guidance for future optimization of HPMs with superior separation performance.
