Abstract

Polyamide (PA) nanofiltration membranes have demonstrated versatile applications in water treatment and critical resources extraction. However, PA membranes commonly fabricated via interfacial polymerization (IP) often suffer from a permeability-selectivity trade-off, largely due to the limited precision in controlling the pore size and physicochemical properties of the PA layer. This review systematically outlines the formation mechanisms of PA membranes. Moreover, it discusses the regulation strategies and key factors affecting IP process and PA structure, including monomers, solvents, additives, substrates and reaction conditions, with emphasis on the monomer diffusion kinetics, interfacial properties and micro-structure optimization. The correlations among preparation factors, PA micro-structure and nanofiltration performance are investigated to identify effective strategies for overcoming the permeability-selectivity trade-off. Finally, current challenges and future prospects of PA membranes were presented, which may offer some valuable insights for the rational design of high-performance membranes for overcoming the intrinsic trade-off limitation of PA membranes through multidimensional regulation of interfacial polymerization.

界面聚合多维调控对聚酰胺纳滤膜结构-性能协同优化的影响

聚酰胺（PA）纳滤膜在水处理和关键资源提取方面具有广泛的应用。然而，通常通过界面聚合（IP）制备的聚苯乙烯膜经常受到渗透率和选择性权衡的影响，这主要是由于在控制聚苯乙烯层的孔径和物理化学性质方面的精度有限。本文系统地综述了PA膜的形成机制。此外，还讨论了影响IP过程和PA结构的调控策略和关键因素，包括单体、溶剂、添加剂、底物和反应条件，重点讨论了单体扩散动力学、界面性能和微观结构优化。研究了制备因素、PA微观结构和纳滤性能之间的相关性，以确定克服渗透-选择性权衡的有效策略。最后，提出了聚酰胺膜目前面临的挑战和未来的发展前景，以期通过对界面聚合的多维调控来克服聚酰胺膜固有的权衡限制，从而为合理设计高性能膜提供一些有价值的见解。
