Abstract
There is an urgent demand for flexible, lightweight, mechanically robust, excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) have been potential candidates for the construction of excellent EMI shielding materials due to their great electrical electroconductibility, favorable mechanical nature such as flexibility, large aspect ratios, and simple processability in aqueous media. The applicability of MXenes for EMI shielding has been intensively explored; thus, reviewing the relevant research is beneficial for advancing the design of high-performance MXene-based EMI shields. Herein, recent progress in MXene-based macrostructure development is reviewed, including the associated EMI shielding mechanisms. In particular, various structural design strategies for MXene-based EMI shielding materials are highlighted and explored. In the end, the difficulties and views for the future growth of MXene-based EMI shields are proposed. This review aims to drive the growth of high-performance MXene-based EMI shielding macrostructures on basis of rational structural design and the future high-efficiency utilization of MXene.

Abstract
Recent development in separation technologies has envisioned a green and sustainable future that encouraged energy preservation and waste minimization. The concept of a clean future emphasizes on retrieval and reutilization of valuable products from waste streams to improve the water quality. Membrane-based separations are currently explored as an auspicious substitution over traditional separation processes. The present study is designed to purify water using aluminum and gallium mixed matrix membranes from toxic metals (Lead and Mercury) and dyes (Rhodamine B, and Reactive Blue-4). Facile protocol i.e., immersion precipitation phase inversion method was used for the fabrication of mixed matrix membrane. The aluminium and gallium hybrids act as a filler and create heterogeneity and hydrophilicity within the membrane, affirming better water permeability and mechanical strength. The performance of fabricated mixed matrix membranes is evaluated using a lab-based dead-end membrane filtration unit. The result showed 30-71% rejection of Mercury, 24-65% rejection of Lead, 12-66% rejection of Reactive Blue-4, and 15-80% rejection of Rhodamine B.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:3728. [PMID: 34771283 PMCID: PMC8588481 DOI: 10.3390/polym13213728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Fouling not only deteriorates the membrane structure but also compromises the quality of the permeate and has deleterious consequences on the membrane operation. In the current study, a commercial thin film composite nanofiltration membrane (NF90) was modified by sequentially depositing oppositely charged polycation (poly(allylamine hydrochloride)) and polyanion (poly(acrylic acid)) polyelectrolytes using the layer-by-layer assembly method. The water contact angle was decreased by ~10° after the coating process, indicating increased hydrophilicity. The surface roughness of the prepared membranes decreased from 380 nm (M-0) to 306 nm (M-10) and 366 nm (M-20). M-10 membrane showed the highest permeate flux of 120 L m-2 h-1 with a salt rejection of >98% for MgSO4 and NaCl. The fabricated membranes M-20 and M-30 showed 15% improvement in fouling resistance and maintained the initial permeate flux longer than the pristine membrane.

Abstract
Non-modified (ZnO) and modified (Fe2O3@ZnO and CuO@ZnO) structured films are deposited via aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. The surface modification of ZnO with iron or copper oxides is achieved in a second aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition step and the characterization of morphology, structure, and surface of these new structured films is discussed. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and X-ray diffraction corroborate the formation of ZnO, Fe2O3, and CuO and the electron microscopy images show the morphological and crystalline characteristics of these structured films. Static water contact angle measurements for these structured films indicate hydrophobic behavior with the modified structures showing higher contact angles compared to the non-modified films. Overall, results show that the modification of ZnO with iron or copper oxides enhances the hydrophobic behavior of the surface, increasing the contact angle of the water drops at the non-modified ZnO structures from 122 to 135 and 145 for Fe2O3@ZnO and CuO@ZnO, respectively. This is attributed to the different surface properties of the films including the morphology and chemical composition.

Sci Rep 2014; 4:4016.

Abstract
In this work we presented a general strategy for the fabrication of membranes with well-defined ions transport channels through solvent-responsive layer-by-layer assembly (SR-LBL). Multilayered poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) complexes were first introduced on the inner pore wall and the surface of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone)/poly (ether sulfone) (PES/SPEEK) nanofiltration membranes to form ions transport channels with tuned radius. This type of membranes are highly efficient for the separators of batteries especially vanadium flow batteries (VFBs): the VFBs assembled with prepared membranes exhibit an outstanding performance in a wide current density range, which is much higher than that assembled with commercial Nafion 115 membranes. This idea could inspire the development of membranes for other flow battery systems, as well as create further progress in similar areas such as fuel cells, electro-dialysis, chlor-alkali cells, water electrolysis and so on.
