Abstract

Polymeric membranes have emerged as pivotal tools in advanced separation technologies due to their tunable properties, processability, and cost-effectiveness. This review critically evaluates recent advancements in membrane technologies, with a focus on their applications in water treatment, energy systems, and biomedical fields. Notable developments include nanocomposite membranes with enhanced performance, such as PSF/MXene membranes achieving > 95% rejection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and water permeabilities exceeding 400 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹·bar⁻¹. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes demonstrated flux values ranging from 6898 to 18,614 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹ for oily wastewater filtration. Functionalized UF membranes incorporating TiO₂-HNTs and Ag-PDA-HNTs achieved > 98% BSA rejection and superior antifouling capabilities. Smart membranes, such as PNIPAM-modified systems, showed reversible wettability changes and temperature-responsive permeability. Additionally, 3D-printed and TIPS-fabricated membranes showcased improved selectivity and mechanical robustness. Environmentally friendly fabrication using green solvents, such as Rhodiasolv PolarClean®, enabled the production of high-performance membranes with rejection rates of over 85% for NaCl and over 93% for MgCl₂. Despite these advancements, challenges like fouling, high fabrication costs, and the permeability-selectivity trade-off persist. Strategies such as nanomaterial integration, stimuli-responsive design, and circular economy-aligned biodegradable polymers are analyzed as pathways for next-generation sustainable membranes.

用于高级分离和传感的聚合物膜：新兴应用的材料和机制综述。

聚合物膜由于其可调特性、可加工性和成本效益，已成为先进分离技术的关键工具。本文综述了膜技术的最新进展，重点介绍了膜技术在水处理、能源系统和生物医学领域的应用。值得注意的发展包括性能增强的纳米复合膜，如PSF/MXene膜，可以达到95%的牛血清白蛋白（BSA）的排斥，透水性超过400 L·m（⁻2·h）·巴（⁻）。电纺丝纳米纤维膜用于过滤含油废水的通量值从6898到18614 L·m⁻2·h⁻。含有TiO 2 -HNTs和Ag-PDA-HNTs的功能化UF膜具有高达98%的BSA去除率和优异的防污能力。智能膜，如pnipam修饰的系统，表现出可逆的润湿性变化和温度响应性。此外，3d打印和tips制造的膜显示出更好的选择性和机械稳健性。使用绿色溶剂（如Rhodiasolv PolarClean®）进行环保制造，可以生产出高性能的膜，其对NaCl的去除率超过85%，对mcl2的去除率超过93%。尽管取得了这些进步，但诸如结垢、高制造成本以及渗透率-选择性权衡等挑战仍然存在。纳米材料集成、刺激响应设计和与循环经济相结合的可生物降解聚合物等策略被分析为下一代可持续膜的途径。
