Abstract
Tailor-made structure and morphology are critical to the highly permeable and selective polyamide membranes used for water purification. Here we report an asymmetric polyamide nanofilm having a two-layer structure, in which the lower is a spherical polyamide dendrimer porous layer, and the upper is a polyamide dense layer with highly ordered nanovoids structure. The dendrimer porous layer was covalently assembled in situ on the surface of the polysulfone (PSF) support by a diazotization-coupling reaction, and then the asymmetric polyamide nanofilm with highly ordered hollow nanostrips structure was formed by interfacial polymerization (IP) thereon. Tuning the number of the spherical dendrimer porous layers and IP time enabled control of the nanostrips morphology in the polyamide nanofilm. The asymmetric polyamide membrane exhibits a water flux of 3.7−4.3 times that of the traditional monolayer polyamide membrane, showing an improved divalent salt rejection rate (more than 99%), which thus surpasses the upper bound line of the permeability−selectivity performance of the existing various structural polyamide membranes. We estimate that this work might inspire the preparation of highly permeable and selective reverse osmosis (RO), organic solvent nanofiltration (OSNF) and pervaporation (PV) membranes. Structure and morphology are critical to the performance of permeable and selective polyamide membranes in water purification. Here, the authors report a two layer asymmetric polyamide nanofilm in which a spherical polyamide dendrimer porous lower and a polyamide dense upper layer form hierarchical nanovoids.

Abstract
Engineering membranes for molecular separation in organic solvents is still a big challenge. When the selectivity increases, the permeability tends to drastically decrease, increasing the energy demands for the separation process. Ideally, organic solvent nanofiltration membranes should be thin to enhance the permeant transport, have a well-tailored nanoporosity and high stability in harsh solvents. Here, we introduce a trianglamine macrocycle as a molecular building block for cross-linked membranes, prepared by facile interfacial polymerization, for high-performance selective separations. The membranes were prepared via a two-in-one strategy, enabled by the amine macrocycle, by simultaneously reducing the thickness of the thin-film layers (<10 nm) and introducing permanent intrinsic porosity within the membrane (6.3 Å). This translates into a superior separation performance for nanofiltration operation, both in polar and apolar solvents. The hyper-cross-linked network significantly improved the stability in various organic solvents, while the amine host macrocycle provided specific size and charge molecular recognition for selective guest molecules separation. By employing easily customized molecular hosts in ultrathin membranes, we can significantly tailor the selectivity on-demand without compromising the overall permeability of the system. Engineering thin membranes for molecular separation with well tailored nanoporosity and which can withstand harsh conditions is still a big challenge. Here, the authors introduce a trianglamine macrocycle as a molecular building block for cross-linked membranes, prepared by facile interfacial polymerization, for high performance selective separations.

Abstract
Stacked graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets with plentiful nanopores incorporated onto polymeric membrane are promising for water purification. However, maintaining high water permeability without sacrificing separation efficiency remains a challenge. Delamination of the GO layer from the membrane surface is another bottleneck affecting the efficiency of the material. To solve those problems, we immobilized a chemically crosslinked GO composite layer with enlarged interlayer space on the surface of a novel catalytic membrane, which served as the support. The modified GO nanosheets-coated catalytic membranes showed excellent separation robustness with withstanding strong lateral shear force during 6 h filtration in a crossflow model. The as-prepared membrane showed high removal efficiencies to Congo red and Basic blue (99 % and 96 %, respectively) due to the surface-coated GO composite layer. Furthermore, while launching the catalytic function of the membrane with a trace amount of reducing agent (NaBH4), the GO-coated composite membrane successfully purified 50 ppm Methyl orange, 50 ppm Methylene blue, 50 ppm Rhodamine B and 0.272 mmol/L 4-Nitrophenol to break through the membrane rejection limitation of 500 Mw. Combining nano-filtration and catalysis, the GO-coated composite membranes showed great potential for the continuous purification of chemically contaminated water.

Abstract
Despite the commercial success of thin film composite polyamide membranes, further improvements to the water permeation of polyamide membranes without degradation in product water quality remain a great challenge. Herein, we report the fabrication of an interfacially polymerized polyamide nanofiltration membrane with a novel 3D honeycomb-like spatial structure, which is formed from a tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) porous protein nanosheet-coated microfiltration membrane support. TMV nanosheets with uniform pores and appropriate hydrophilicity deposited inside the support membrane pores facilitate the construction of a localized water-oil reaction interface with evenly distributed monomers and guide the formation of a defect-free polyamide layer with a spatial structure that copies the geometry of the membrane cavities. Such a 3D morphology possesses ultrahigh specific surface area, leading to unprecedented membrane water permeance as high as 84 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, high MgSO4 rejection of 98%, and monovalent/divalent ion sieving selectivity up to 89.

Abstract
Thin-film composite (TFC) structured membranes based on polyamide (PA) chemistry is the gold standard of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis-based technologies for water purification and desalination. Constructing interlayer between porous substrate and PA layer is a promising strategy to address the ubiquitous trade-off between permeability and selectivity, which is typically encountered by conventional TFC PA membranes. The progress in the interlayer benefits the precise control of interfacial polymerization process, which therefore can tailor the structure and performance of advanced TFC PA membranes. This review critically summarizes the recent advances in TFC PA membranes mediated by interlayer. The mechanisms of interlayer regulating the IP process and PA structure are first discussed based on available literature. Structure and performance of novel TFC PA membranes based on three kinds of interlayers, i.e., organic coatings, nanomaterial and nanocomposite interlayers, are systematically reviewed. Finally, perspectives and future efforts needed are proposed for interlayer based TFC PA membranes. This review offers comprehensive understanding and useful guidance on the rational design of advanced membranes mediated by interlayers for desalination and water purification.

Abstract
The design of nanosheets interlayer between the substrate and polyamide layer has attracted growing attention to improve the performance of thin-film composite membranes. However, the membrane size is limited by current fabrication methods such as vacuum filtration. Herein, a high-performance MXene (Ti3C2Tx) interlayered polyamide forward osmosis (FO) membrane is fabricated based on a combination of a facile and scalable brush-coating of MXene on nylon substrates and the interfacial polymerization process. The as-prepared FO membrane shows high water permeability of 31.8 L m-2 h-1 and low specific salt flux of 0.27 g L-1 using 2.0 mol L-1 sodium chloride as the draw solution. This is attributed to the adjustment of substrate properties and the polyamide layer by coating of MXene as well as the facilitation of water transportation by the interlayer distances between Ti3C2Tx. The membrane also exhibits a good organic solvent forward osmosis performance with high ethanol flux as 9.5 L m-2 h-1 and low specific salt flux of 0.4 g L-1 using 2.0 mol L-1 lithium chloride as the draw solution. Moreover, the MXene interlayered FO membrane demonstrates a feasible application in real seawater desalination and industrial textile wastewater treatment. This work presents an effective approach to fabricating nanomaterials interlayered FO membranes with superior performance for both desalination and organic solvent recovery.

MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10080163. [PMID: 32722028 PMCID: PMC7466004 DOI: 10.3390/membranes10080163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Enhancing the water flux while maintaining the high salt rejection of existing reverse osmosis membranes remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we report the use of a porous carbon nitride (C3N4) nanoparticle to potentially improve both the water flux and salt rejection of the state-of-the-art polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC) membranes. The organic–organic covalent bonds endowed C3N4 with great compatibility with the PA layer, which positively influenced the customization of interfacial polymerization (IP). Benefitting from the positive effects of C3N4, a more hydrophilic, more crumpled thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane with a larger surface area, and an increased cross-linking degree of PA layer was achieved. Moreover, the uniform porous structure of the C3N4 embedded in the ”ridge” sections of the PA layer potentially provided additional water channels. All these factors combined provided unprecedented performance for seawater desalination among all the PA-TFC membranes reported thus far. The water permeance of the optimized TFN membrane is 2.1-folds higher than that of the pristine PA-TFC membrane, while the NaCl rejection increased to 99.5% from 98.0%. Our method provided a promising way to improve the performance of the state-of-art PA-TFC membranes in seawater desalination.

Abstract
A high-flux thin film nanocomposite (TFN) nanofiltration (NF) membrane for low pressure operation (3.5 bar) was fabricated by blending purified amino-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (NH2-SWCNTs) with piperazine (PIP) as aqueous phase monomers through interfacial polymerization (IP). The surface properties and structures of the polyamide (PA) active layer were suitably tailored by introducing different amounts of NH2-SWCNTs into the PA layer. It was found that the homogeneous incorporation of NH2-SWCNTs facilitated a more integral PA layer along with improved roughness, hydrophilicity, and surface charge of the modified membranes, which could be validated by membrane characterisation including SEM, AFM, ATR-FTIR, XPS, zeta potential and water contact angle measurements. Based on cross-flow NF tests, the optimized ultra-thin NH2-SWCNT-TFN membranes with 0.002 wt% of NH2-SWCNTs exhibited outstanding water permeability of up to 17.8 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, 71.1% higher than that of the pristine membrane, along with high MgSO4 rejection of 91.0% and Na2SO4 rejection of 96.34%. Meanwhile, NH2-SWCNT-TFN membranes also showed excellent long-term stability and antifouling ability. This work demonstrates a facile strategy to fabricate a scalable, low-pressure and ultra-thin TFN membrane with excellent performance. The surface properties and structures of the polyamide (PA) active layer were suitably tailored by introducing different amounts of NH2-SWCNTs into the PA layer.![]()

Abstract
As a sustainable, cost-effective and energy-efficient method, membranes are becoming a progressively vital technique to solve the problem of the scarcity of freshwater resources. With these critical advantages, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have great potential for membrane desalination given their high aspect ratio, large surface area, high mechanical strength and chemical robustness. In recent years, the CNT membrane field has progressed enormously with applications in water desalination. The latest theoretical and experimental developments on the desalination of CNT membranes, including vertically aligned CNT (VACNT) membranes, composited CNT membranes, and their applications are timely and comprehensively reviewed in this manuscript. The mechanisms and effects of CNT membranes used in water desalination where they offer the advantages are also examined. Finally, a summary and outlook are further put forward on the scientific opportunities and major technological challenges in this field.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been increasingly utilized in membrane processes. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great promise as emergent nanofillers to fabricate high-performance MMMs; however, only few studies about COF materials in MMMs have been reported where COFs are all used as nonreactive fillers. Herein, we propose using -NH2-functionalized COF nanosheets as reactive fillers (rCON) to fabricate MMMs. rCON altered the morphology and chemistry of MMMs by controlling the diffusion rate of piperazine through hydrogen bonding prior to the interfacial polymerization process and inducing the creation of ridges in the MMMs with subsequent increase in surface area (∼24%). rCON was chemically cross-linked to the trimesoyl chloride through amide bonding, subsequently elevating the hydrophilicity (∼35%) and fouling resistance of MMMs. The presence of -NH2 groups elevated the rCON-PA compatibility, ensuring the high rCON loading of 5 wt % in the MMMs without sacrificing salt rejection. Accordingly, the PA-rCON MMMs exhibited a flux of 46.5 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, which is 6.8 times higher than that of the pristine PA membrane, with a high rejection rate of 93.5% for Na2SO4.

Abstract
A thermal-sensitive "jelly" was used to control the diffusion of a diamine monomer for synthesizing polyamide free-standing nanofilms with an adjustable thickness of 5-35 nm. The reduced reaction rate of the interfacial polymerization at the hexane-"jelly" interface made the synthesized nanofilms show high water permeation flux and suitable salt rejection, and they also have highly negative surface charges and fairly smooth surfaces.

Abstract
Traditional polyamide-based interfacial polymerized nanofiltration (NF) membranes exhibit upper bound features between water permeance and salt selectivity. Breaking the limits of the permeability and rejections of these composite NF membranes are highly desirable for water desalination. Herein, a high-performance NF membrane (TFC-P) was fabricated via interfacial polymerization on the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) interlayered poly(ether sulfone) (PES) ultrafiltration support. Owing to the large surface area, great hydrophilicity, and high porosity of the PES-PVA support, a highly cross-linked polyamide separating layer was formed with a thickness of 9.6 nm, which was almost 90% thinner than that of the control membrane (TFC-C). In addition, the TFC-P possessed lower ζ-potential, smaller pore size, and greater surface area compared to that of the TFC-C, achieving an ultrahigh water permeance of 31.4 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and a 99.4% Na2SO4 rejection. Importantly, the PVA interlayer strategy was further applied to a pilot NF production line and the fabricated membranes presented stable water flux and salt rejections as comparable to the lab-scaled membranes. The outstanding properties of the PVA-interlayered NF membranes highlight the feasibility of the fabrication method for practical applications, which provides a new avenue to develop robust polyamide-based NF desalination membranes for environmental water treatment.

Abstract
This study reported a series of thin film composite (TFC) membranes with single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) interlayers for the forward osmosis (FO) application. Pure SWCNTs with ultrahigh length-to-diameter ratio and without any functional group were applied to form an interconnect network interlayer via strong π-π interactions. Compared to the TFC membrane without SWCNTs interlayer, our TFC membrane with optimal SWCNTs interlayer exhibited more than three times the water permeability (A) of 3.3 L m−2h−1bar−1 in RO mode with 500 mg L−1 NaCl as feed solution and nearly three-fold higher FO water flux of 62.8 L m−2 h−1 in FO mode with the deionized water as feed solution and 1 M NaCl as draw solution. Meanwhile, the TFC membrane with SWCNTs interlayer exhibited significantly reduced membrane structure parameters (S) to immensely mitigate the effect of internal concentration polarization (ICP) in support layer with micro-sized pores in favor of higher water flux. It showed that the pure SWCNTs interlayer could be an effective strategy to apply in FO membranes.

Abstract
In this study, an outer surface modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane (HF-PVDF-CNT) was prepared by coating with dopamine (PD) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), to solve the problems of the instability of pure CNT mats fabricated by filter coating methods and membrane fouling in wastewater treatment. The modified membrane was assessed and characterized by various methods, including studies of its top surface and cross-sectional morphology, wettability, functional groups and electrical conductivity. The CNT material stability was evaluated during backwashing. The antifouling and filtering abilities of the unmodified and modified membranes were tested by monitoring the change in TMP and the rejection performance for different contaminants during filtration in bovine serum albumin solution (BSA), sodium alginate solution (SA) and humic acid solution (HA). Furthermore, HF-PVDF-CNT and electro-assisted HF-PVDF-CNT membranes were employed as the basic separation units in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) system and an anaerobic electrochemical membrane bioreactor (AnEMBR) system, respectively. Characterization of the HF-PVDF-CNT membrane indicated that the CNT mats exhibited good stability, electrical conductivity and wettability. In filtration experiments using BSA, SA and HA solutions, the HF-PVDF-CNT membrane showed an obvious improvement compared with the HF-PVDF membrane in antifouling performance. During its application in the AnMBR and AnEMBR systems, the electro-assisted HF-PVDF-CNT membrane had greater effects than the HF-PVDF-CNT membrane on reducing fouling.

Abstract
We demonstrated a two-in-one strategy for the fabrication of ultra-permeable polyamide layers featuring ultrathin thicknesses and increased water transport domains.
Polyamide-based thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes are widely used for potable water decontamination, brackish water desalination and wastewater reutilization. However, enhancing the water permeance of the polyamide layer within the thin-film composite nanofiltration membrane still remains a great challenge, because of the relatively large thickness and high transport resistance of the polyamide layer produced by intractable interfacial polymerization. Herein, we reported a two-in-one strategy to prepare ultra-permeable nanofiltration membranes via covalent organic framework (COF) nanofiber scaffold mediated interfacial polymerization. The highly porous and hydrophilic COF nanofiber scaffolds enhanced the controlled release of amine monomers, leading to ultrathin polyamide layers. Also, the relatively smooth COF nanofiber scaffolds can be spontaneously evolved into rugged and uneven architectures during interfacial polymerization, providing rough substrates for enlarging the actual areas of polyamide layers. Therefore, the increased areas of polyamide layers were employed as additional water permeable domains. Arising from the synergetic effect of the ultrathin and increased water permeation domains, the produced membranes exhibit exceptional nanofiltration performance with a water permeance of up to 31.1 L m–2 h–1 bar–1 and a Na2SO4 rejection rate of about 95%, outperforming most other nanofiltration membranes. This highly accessible technique opens a new avenue for the design and engineering of ultra-permeable thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes, highlighting its great potential in providing clean water.

Abstract
Membranes with high permeance and high rejection for di- and multivalent cation removal are highly desired for efficient brackish water and industrial water treatment. In this work, we report a facile strategy for constructing ultrathin nanofiltration (NF) membranes by in situ cross-linking of amine which is confined in a network film. The network made of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) serves as a framework for poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) to attach and stay, facilitating the formation of a polyamine (PA) layer with high quality and controlled thickness. Benefiting from the ultrathin thickness of the SWCNT network (∼31 nm), an active layer (∼34 nm thick) comes with a high permeance of 27 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 along with a high rejection of 97% to MgCl2, 2-5 times higher than the NF membranes with the same high rejection for MgCl2 reported so far. In addition, the SWCNT-interpenetrated PA structure endows the ultrathin NF membrane with good operational stability. This work demonstrates the capability to control the position, thickness, and even quality of the PA layer by using a confined framework and provides a feasible strategy for the fabrication of highly permeable ultrathin NF membranes with a reinforced active layer.
