Abstract
The scarcity of freshwater resources is a major global challenge causedby population and economic growth. Water desalination using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane is a promising technology to supply potable water from seawater and brackish water. The advancement of RO desalination highly depends on new membrane materials. Currently, the RO technology mainly relies on polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) membranes, which suffer from several drawbacks (e.g., low water permeability, permeability-selectivity tradeoff, and low fouling resistance) that hamper their real-world applications. Nanoscale fillers with specific characteristics can be used to improve the properties of TFC membranes. Embedding nanofillers into TFC membranes using interfacial polymerization allows the creation of thin-film nanocomposite (TFNC) membranes, and has become an emerging strategy in the fabrication of high-performance membranes for advanced RO water desalination. To achieve optimal design, it is indispensable to search for reliable methods that can provide fast and accurate predictions of the structural and transport properties of the TFNC membranes. However, molecular understanding of permeability-selectivity characteristics of nanofillers remains limited, partially due to the challenges in experimentally exploring microscopic behaviors of water and salt ions in confinement. Molecular modeling and simulations can fill this gap by generating molecular-level insights into the effects of nanofillers' characteristics (e.g., shape, size, surface chemistry, and density) on water permeability and ion selectivity. In this review, we summarize molecular simulations of a diverse range of nanofillers including nanotubes (carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanotubes, and aquaporin-mimicking nanochannels) and nanosheets (graphene, graphene oxide, boron nitride sheets, molybdenum disulfide, metal and covalent organic frameworks) for water desalination applications. These simulations reveal that water permeability and salt rejection, as the major factors determining the desalination performance of TFNC membranes, significantly depend on the size, topology, density, and chemical modifications of the nanofillers. Identifying their influences and the physicochemical processes behind, via molecular modeling, is expected to yield important insights for the fabrication and optimization of the next generation high-performance TFNC membranes for RO water desalination.

Abstract
Polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes have been applied widely for desalination and wastewater reuse in the last 5-10 years. A novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane featuring a nanomaterial interlayer (TFNi) has emerged in recent years and attracted the attention of researchers. The novel TFNi membranes are prepared from different nanomaterials and with different loading methods. The choices of intercalated nanomaterials, substrate layers and loading methods are based on the object to be treated. The introduction of nanostructured interlayers improves the formation of the PA separation layer and provides ultrafast water molecule transport channels. In this manner, the TFNi membrane mitigates the trade-off between permeability and selectivity reported for polyamide composite membranes. In addition, TFNi membranes enhance the removal of metal ions and organics and the recovery of organic solvents during nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, which is critical for environmental ecology and industrial applications. This review provides statistics and analyzes the developments in TFNi membranes over the last 5-10 years. The latest research results are reviewed, including the selection of the substrate and interlayer materials, preparation methods, specific application areas and more advanced characterization methods. Mechanistic aspects are analyzed to encourage future research, and potential mechanisms for industrialization are discussed.

Abstract
Solar-driven seawater desalination is considered a promising method for alleviating the water crisis worldwide. In recent years, significant efforts have been undertaken to optimize heat management and minimize salt blockage during solar-driven seawater desalination. However, it remains challenging to achieve an efficient and stable seawater evaporator simply and practically. Here, we designed and prepared a novel three-dimensional (3D) water channel evaporator (3D WCE) equipped with a Janus CNT@PBAT fabric (JCPF). The as-prepared Janus CNT@PBAT fabric has broad-band light absorption (∼97.8%), excellent superhydrophobicity (∼162°), and photothermal properties. After optimizing the structure of the thermal insulator, our designed evaporator could realize the equilibrium between enhanced thermal management and sufficient water supply. As a result, the as-prepared evaporator achieved an excellent evaporation rate of 1.576 kg·m-2·h-1 and an energy efficiency of over 92.7% under 1 sun irradiation in 3.5 wt % saline water. Moreover, this evaporator also revealed good salt rejection performance compared to the traditional two-dimensional (2D) water channel evaporator (2D WCE) in high saline water, which could maintain stable evaporation rates under long-term evaporation of 8 h. Our study may develop a simple method for the design and fabrication of a low-cost, effective, and stable solar-driven evaporator for seawater desalination.

Abstract
The data shared in this work represent aspects of the performance of reverse osmosis membranes during filtration. We present pressure, permeate flux, and solute rejection data gathered during cross-flow filtration experiments, which were used to (i) model water and solute permeation through the membranes and (ii) calculate concentration polarization moduli and a suite of transport properties, including water permeance, solute permeance, and water-solute selectivity. Membrane transport properties were calculated with the different approaches commonly used to simplify transport property calculations. Typical calculations of these transport properties often use simplifying assumptions (e.g., negligible concentration polarization and solute rejection close to 100%). However, the extent of the errors associated with using simplifying assumptions in this context were not previously known or quantified. This publication and corresponding dataset pertain to figures presented in the accompanying work (Armstrong et al., 2022) [1].

Abstract
Supramolecular metal-organic materials are considered as the ideal candidates for membrane fabrication due to their excellent film forming characteristics, diverse metal centers and ligand sources, and designable structure and function. However, it remains challenging to rapidly construct highly permeable supramolecular metal-organic membranes with high salt rejection. Herein, a novel ultrafast interfacial self-assembly strategy to prepare supramolecular metal-organic films through the strong coordination interaction between highly active 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TFP) ligands and Fe3+ , Sc3+ , or Cu2+ at the organic-aqueous interface is reported. Benefiting from the self-completing and self-limiting characteristics of this interfacial self-assembly, the new kind of supramolecular membrane with optimized composition can be assembled within 3.5 min and exhibits ultrathin, dense, defect-free features, and thus shows an excellent water permeance (21.5 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 ) with a high Na2 SO4 rejection above 95%, which outperforms almost all of the non-polyamide membranes and commercially available nanofiltration membranes. This strong-coordination interfacial self-assembly method will open up a new way for the development of functional metal-organic supramolecular films for high-performance membrane separation and beyond.

Abstract
Despite the large number of studies addressing the effect of acrylic resin polymerization concerning flexural properties, limited research has been conducted on the manufacturing impact on a polymer’s mechanical properties. Photosensitive resinous materials are used in various engineering applications where they may be exposed to multiple detrimental environments during their lifetime. Therefore, there is a need to understand the impact of an environment on the service life of resins. Thus, flexural tests were conducted to study the effects of exposure time and angle on the flexural strength of resins. Herein, the main objective was to explore the strength, stability, and flexural durability of photosensitive resin (EPIC-2000ST) fabricated at different exposure times (E) and angle deviation varying from 0° to 85° with a 5° increment. The samples in circular rings were manufactured and divided into five groups according to their exposure time (E): 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, and 50 s. In each exposure time, we designed rings via SolidWorks software and experimentally fabricated at different oblique angles (OA) varying from 0° to 85° with a 5° increment during each fabrication, i.e., OA = 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, and 85°. Flexural strength was evaluated using a three-point bending test. Optical electron microscopy was used to examines the samples’ exterior, interior, and ruptured surfaces. Our experimental analysis shows that flexural strength was significantly enhanced by increasing exposure time and at higher oblique angles. However, at lower angles and less exposure time, mechanical flexural resilience declines.

Abstract
The permeance and selectivity of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane are governed by its ultrathin polyamide film, yet the growth of this critical film during interfacial polymerization (IP) has not been fully understood. This study investigates the evolution of a polyamide nanofilm at the aqueous/organic interface over time. Despite its thickness remaining largely constant (∼15 nm) for the IP reaction time ranging from 0.5 to 60 min, the density of the polyamide nanofilm increased from 1.25 to 1.36 g cm-3 due to the continued reaction between diffused m-phenylenediamine and dangling acyl chloride groups within the formed polyamide film. This continued growth of the polyamide nanofilm led to a simultaneous increase in its crosslinking degree (from 50.1 to 94.3%) and the healing of nanosized defects, resulting in a greatly enhanced rejection of 99.2% for NaCl without sacrificing water permeance. Using humic acid as a molecular probe for sealing membrane defects, the relative contributions of the increased crosslinking and reduced defects toward better membrane selectivity were resolved, which supports our conceptual model involving both enhanced size exclusion and healed defects. The fundamental insights into the growth mechanisms and the structure-property relationship of the polyamide nanofilm provide crucial guidance for the further development and optimization of high-performance RO membranes.

Abstract
Breaking the trade-off between filtration performance and antifouling property is critical to enabling a thin-film nanocomposite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membrane for a wide range of feed streams. We proposed a novel design route for TFC NF membranes by grafting well-defined zwitterionic copolymers of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AEMA) on the polyamide surfaces via an in situ surface chemical modification process. The successful grafting of a zwitterionic copolymer imparted the modified NF membranes with better surface hydrophilicity, a larger actual surface area (i.e., nodular structures), and a thinner polyamide layer. As a result, the water permeability of the modified membrane (i.e., TFC-10) was triple that of the pristine TFC membrane while maintaining high Na2SO4 rejection. We further demonstrated that the TFC-10 membrane possessed exceptional antifouling properties in both static adsorption tests and three cycles of dynamic protein and humic acid fouling tests. To recap, this work provides valuable insights and strategies for the fabrication of TFC NF membranes with simultaneously enhanced filtration performance and antifouling property.

Abstract
Long-term continuous monitoring (LTCM) of water quality can provide high-fidelity datasets essential for executing swift control and enhancing system efficiency. One roadblock for LTCM using solid-state ion-selective electrode (S-ISE) sensors is biofouling on the sensor surface, which perturbs analyte mass transfer and deteriorates the sensor reading accuracy. This study advanced the anti-biofouling property of S-ISE sensors through precisely coating a self-assembled channel-type zwitterionic copolymer poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate-random-sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PTFEMA-r-SBMA) on the sensor surface using electrospray. The PTFEMA-r-SBMA membrane exhibits exceptional permeability and selectivity to primary ions in water solutions. NH4+ S-ISE sensors with this anti-fouling zwitterionic layer were examined in real wastewater for 55 days consecutively, exhibiting sensitivity close to the theoretical value (59.18 mV/dec) and long-term stability (error <4 mg/L). Furthermore, a denoising data processing algorithm (DDPA) was developed to further improve the sensor accuracy, reducing the S-ISE sensor error to only 1.2 mg/L after 50 days of real wastewater analysis. Based on the dynamic energy cost function and carbon footprint models, LTCM is expected to save 44.9% NH4+ discharge, 12.8% energy consumption, and 26.7% greenhouse emission under normal operational conditions. This study unveils an innovative LTCM methodology by integrating advanced materials (anti-fouling layer coating) with sensor data processing (DDPA).

Abstract
Membrane-on-chip is of growing interest in a wide variety of high-throughput environmental and water research. Advances in membrane technology continuously provide novel materials and multi-functional structures. Yet, the incorporation of membrane into microfluidic devices remains challenging, thus limiting its versatile utilization. Herein, via micro-stereolithography 3D printing, we propose and fabricate a "fish gill" structure-integrated on-chip membrane device, which has the self-sealing attribute at structure-membrane interface without extra assembling. As a demonstration, metallic micromesh and polymeric membrane can also be easily embedded in 3D printed on-chip device to achieve anti-fouling and anti-clogging functionality for wastewater filtration. As evidenced from in-situ visualization of structure-fluid-foulant interactions during filtration process, the proposed approach successfully adopts the fish feeding mechanism, being able to "ricochet" foulant particles or droplets through hydrodynamic manipulation. When benchmarked with two common wastewater treatment scenarios, such as plastic micro-particles and emulsified oil droplets, our biomimetic filtration devices exhibit 2 ~ 3 times longer durability for high-flux filtration than devices with commercial membrane. This proposed 3D printing-on-membrane approach, elegantly bridging the fields of microfluidics and membrane science, is instrumental to many other applications in energy, sensing, analytical chemistry and biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Ultrathin membranes are at the forefront of membrane research, offering great opportunities in revolutionizing separations with ultrafast transport. Driven by advanced nanomaterials and manufacturing technology, tremendous progresses are made over the last 15 years in the fabrications and applications of sub-50 nm membranes. Here, an overview of state-of-the-art ultrathin membranes is first introduced, followed by a summary of the fabrication techniques with an emphasis on how to realize such extremely low thickness. Then, different types of ultrathin membranes, categorized based on their structures, that is, network, laminar, or framework structures, are discussed with a focus on the interplays among structure, fabrication methods, and separation performances. Recent research and development trends are highlighted. Meanwhile, the performances and applications of current ultrathin membranes for representative separations (gas separation and liquid separation) are thoroughly analyzed and compared. Last, the challenges in material design, structure construction, and coordination are given, in order to fully realize the potential of ultrathin membranes and facilitate the translation from scientific achievements to industrial productions.

Abstract
Polymeric membranes, such as polyamide thin film composite membranes, have gained increasing popularity in wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, as well as the purification and concentration of chemicals for their high salt-rejection and water flux properties. Membrane biofouling originates from the attachment or deposition of organic macromolecules/microorganisms and leads to an increased operating pressure and shortened service life and has greatly limited the application of polymeric membranes. Over the past few years, numerous strategies and materials were developed with the aim to control membrane biofouling. In this review, the formation process, influence factors, and consequences of membrane biofouling are systematically summarized. Additionally, the specific strategies for mitigating membrane biofouling including anchoring of hydrophilic monomers, the incorporation of inorganic antimicrobial nanoparticles, coating/grafting of cationic bactericidal polymers, and the design of multifunctional material integrated multiple anti-biofouling mechanisms, are highlighted. Finally, perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in anti-biofouling polymeric membranes are shared, shedding light on the development of even better anti-biofouling materials in near future.

Abstract
Polymer membranes are central to the proper operation of several processes used in a wide range of applications. The production of these membranes relies on processes such as phase inversion, stretching, track etching, sintering, or electrospinning. A novel and competitive strategy in membrane production is the use of additive manufacturing that enables the easier manufacture of tailored membranes. To achieve the future development of better membranes, it is necessary to compare this novel production process to that of more conventional techniques, and clarify the advantages and disadvantages. This review article compares a conventional method of manufacturing polymer membranes to additive manufacturing. A review of 3D printed membranes is also done to give researchers a reference guide. Membranes from these two approaches were compared in terms of cost, materials, structures, properties, performance. and environmental impact. Results show that very few membrane materials are used as 3D-printed membranes. Such membranes showed acceptable performance, better structures, and less environmental impact compared with those of conventional membranes.

Abstract
The application of sulfate radical advanced oxidation for organic pollutant removal has been hindered by some shortages such as the recycling difficulty of a powered catalyst, the low utilization efficiency of oxidants, and the secondary pollution (including soil acidification) after reaction. Herein, we fabricate a selective separation catalysis membrane (SSCM) for a highly efficient and environment-friendly persulfate-based advanced oxidation process. The SSCM comprises a top polydimethylsiloxane layer which is selectively penetrable to hydrophobic organic pollutants, followed by a catalyst layer with a magnetic nitrogen-doped porous carbon material, targeting the advanced oxidation of the selected pollutants. Compared with the catalyst in powder form, such SSCM devices significantly reduced the dosage of peroxymonosulfate by more than 40% and the catalyst dosage by 97.8% to achieve 80% removal of phenol with the coexistence of 20 mg L-1 humic acid (HA). The SSCM can extract target pollutants while rejecting HA more than 91.43% for 100 h. The pH value in the receiving solution demonstrated a significant reduction from 7.01 to 3.00. In comparison, the pH value in the feed solution varied from 6.05 to a steady 4.59. The results can be ascribed to the specific functionality for the catalyst anchored, natural organic matter isolation, and reaction compartmentation provided by SSCMs. The developed SSCM technology is beneficial for catalysts reused in remediation practices, saving oxidant dosage, and avoiding acidification of soil and water, thus having tremendous application potential.

Abstract
Membrane fouling is one of the persistent headaches for water desalination because of the significant detriment to membrane performance and operating cost control. It is a great challenge to overcome such crisis in a facile and robust manner. This work was dedicated to customizing an antifouling thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane with a polydopamine (PDA)/β-alanine (βAla)/Cu2+ ternary homogeneous metal-organic hybrid coating. The metal ions were evenly distributed in a continuous organic network via polydentate coordination. The incorporation of βAla enabled a substantial promotion of the Cu2+ loading capacity on the membrane surface. The involved one-step codeposition protocol made the surface engineering practically accessible. The deposition time was optimized to afford an uncompromising permselectivity of the membrane. This novel trinity was a smart blend of anti-adhesive and bactericidal factors, and each component in the all-in-one layer performed its own function. The hydrophilic PDA/βAla phase induced weak deposition propensity of organic foulant and bacteria onto the modified membrane, as elucidated by water flux variation, foulants adhesion profile, and interfacial interaction energy. Meanwhile, the Cu2+-loaded surface strongly inactivated the attached bacteria to further alleviate biofouling. Excellent sustainability and stability implied the reliable performance of such trinity-coated membrane in practical service. Given the simplicity and robustness, this work opened a promising avenue for in situ fouling control of TFC RO membranes during water desalination.

Abstract
Ultrathin and smooth polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have attracted significant interest due to their potential advantages of high permeance and low fouling propensity. Although a layered interfacial polymerization (LIP) technique aided by the insertion of a polyelectrolyte interlayer has proven effective in fabricating ultrathin and uniform membranes, the RO performance and pH stability of the fabricated LIP membrane remain inadequate. In this study, a poly(piperazineamide) (PIPA) layer prepared via interfacial polymerization (IP) was employed as an interlayer to overcome the limitations of the prototype LIP method. Similar to the control polyelectrolyte-interlayered LIP membrane, the PIPA-interlayered LIP (pLIP) membrane had a much thinner (~20 nm) and smoother selective layer than the membrane fabricated via conventional IP due to the highly surface-confined and uniform LIP reaction. The pLIP membrane also exhibited RO performance exceeding that of the control LIP and conventional IP-assembled membranes, by enabling denser monomer deposition and a more confined interfacial reaction. Importantly, the chemically crosslinked PIPA interlayer endowed the pLIP membrane with higher pH stability than the control polyelectrolyte interlayer. The proposed strategy enables the fabrication of high-performance and pH-stable PA membranes using hydrophilic supports, which can be applied to other separation processes, including osmosis-driven separation and organic solvent filtration.

Abstract
Thin-film composite membranes formed by conventional interfacial polymerization generally suffer from the depth heterogeneity of the polyamide layer, i.e., nonuniformly distributed free volume pores, leading to the inefficient permselectivity. Here, we demonstrate a facile and versatile approach to tune the nanoscale homogeneity of polyamide-based thin-film composite membranes via inorganic salt-mediated interfacial polymerization process. Molecular dynamics simulations and various characterization techniques elucidate in detail the underlying molecular mechanism by which the salt addition confines and regulates the diffusion of amine monomers to the water-oil interface and thus tunes the nanoscale homogeneity of the polyamide layer. The resulting thin-film composite membranes with thin, smooth, dense, and structurally homogeneous polyamide layers demonstrate a permeance increment of ~20-435% and/or solute rejection enhancement of ~10-170% as well as improved antifouling property for efficient reverse/forward osmosis and nanofiltration separations. This work sheds light on the tunability of the polyamide layer homogeneity via salt-regulated interfacial polymerization process.
