Nevertheless, the challenge lies in constructing MOF membranes with high crystallinity and effectively utilizing their ordered crystal channels for molecular separation. Drawing inspiration from natural biomineralization processes, an in-situ trace graphene oxide (GO)-mediated crystallization strategy was adopted here to manipulate the crystallization of Zr-MOF (MIP-202(Zr)) membranes.

The molar ratio of the two ketone comonomers used in copolymerization, trifluoroacetophenone (TFAp) and N,N-dimethylamino trifluoroacetophenone (dMATFAp), was systematically varied to produce five copolymers with different dMATFAp contents ranging from 12 to 73 %. The influence of dMATFAp content on physicochemical and mechanical properties as well as pure gas and water vapor separation performance was studied. All synthesized copolymers displayed excellent film forming ability, high thermal stability and high T&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt; values (T&lt;sub&gt;gs&lt;/sub&gt; &gt; 380 °C). Pure gas permeability measurements revealed that the increase of dMATFAp molar content from 12 % to 34 % resulted in improved gas permeability, while, on the contrary, further increase of dMATFAp content from 34 to 73 % led to substantial gas permeability decrease ascribed to FFV decrease. In particular, among copolymers, the one with dMATFAp content of 34 % presented the highest CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; permeability value of 290 Barrer due to its highest CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; diffusion and CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; solubility coefficients associated with its higher FFV value. The CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/CH&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; performance of synthesized copolymers fell very close to 2008 upper bound limit and exceeded most of the super-acid catalyzed copolymer membranes reported in the literature and commercial membranes.

The study of the effect of dMΑTFA on water permeability unveiled that the membrane with the highest dMΑTFAp molar content (73 %) showed the highest water permeability value (23,100 Barrer) as well. This was attributed to the increased concentration of N-methyl substituent of dMΑTFAp which can interact with water molecules thereby increasing solubility.

Herein, inspired by mussel adhesion combined with in-situ coupling technique, a silane-modulated biomimetic amination strategy is proposed to construct an anion-exchange membrane adsorber for efficient DNA separation. The coupling of polyethyleneimine to the biomimetic interlayer formed by the co-coating of pyrogallol and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane onto polyethersulfone membranes provides high coverage of DNA-binding ligands for the resulting membrane adsorber. Furthermore, its surface charge properties are tailored by the tunable content of epoxy groups in the biomimetic interlayer, resulting in the pH-responsive reversible DNA binding capacity. Consequently, the resulting membrane adsorber exhibits unprecedented DNA adsorption capacity (396.2 mg g<sup>−1</sup>), which is renewable and requires no external binding agent. More importantly, this membrane adsorber in the form of spin columns achieves outstanding DNA recovery efficiency up to 88 %, which is 32 % improvement over commercial silica matrices.

A significant change in the electro-hydrodynamic response of a laboratory-scale electrodialysis cell was observed at overlimiting current densities for different corrugation sizes on the membrane. Experiments reveal that there is a relationship between the size of the corrugation features, the size of electroconvective vortices, and their effect on ion transport. We identified for the first time the coexistence of small and large electroconvective vortices, as foreseen by recent simulations, each moving at unique velocities. Additionally, it was found that the usually chaotic electroconvective vortices are stabilized by the electroosmotic forces induced by the membrane corrugation. More extensive membrane features led to more stable vortices, aligning their counter-rotation with the membrane’s geometry. A threshold for stable and unstable vortices was determined, and a characterization of transitioning to a chaotic and destabilized state was derived. Finally, the contribution of stable vortices to ion transport was evaluated, finding that stable, larger vortices lead to enhanced transport.

To overcome this challenge, we used the polar solvent ethanol (ETOH) as a co-solvent for the interfacial polymerization (IP) process to achieve precise modulation of the microstructural properties of NF membranes. The presence of ETOH enriched the piperazine (PIP) monomers on the organic side of the IP reaction zone, contributing to enhanced local reaction heat release and the formation of nanobubbles.

However, due to the similar thermophysical properties between shale gas components, energy-intensive cryogenic distillation is used to separate the heavier hydrocarbons from methane. Compared to distillation, membrane-based technology could yield an order of magnitude improvement in energy efficiency. Nevertheless, this requires membranes capable of operating at high transmembrane pressures. Here, we report supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) that operate within industrially relevant operating pressures (i.e., 7–30 bar) without experiencing blowout—a loss of ionic liquid (IL) and subsequent membrane defects at elevated transmembrane pressures. By considering the effect of the pore size distribution on capillary pressure, described by the Young-Laplace equation, we developed polyethersulfone-based SILMs that operate above 16 bar. To our knowledge, this is the highest reported blowout pressure for a SILM using a commercial membrane support. Pure-gas permeation experiments indicate promising C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> permselectivity values as high as 4 for SILMs with larger pores (30–100 nm). Yet, this reverse-selectivity is not observed for SILMs with smaller pores (4 nm), partly due to their lower surface porosity, which results in significantly higher mass transfer resistance from the polymeric support and, consequently, reduced permselectivity. Additionally, trends in glass transition temperature and melting point of the imbued ILs, as well as increased CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> permselectivity suggest that nanoconfinement effects may also play a significant role in the separation performance of these membranes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science","volume":"717 ","pages":"Article 123624"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143156311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
