Abstract
The implementation of hydrophobicity on membranes is becoming crucial in current membrane technological development, especially in membrane gas absorption (MGA). In order to prevent membrane wetting, a polypropylene (PP) dense layer coating was deposited on a commercial poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane as a method of enhancing surface hydrophobicity. The weight concentration of PP pellets was varied from 10 mg mL-1 to 40 mg mL-1 and dissolved in xylene. A two-step dip coating was implemented where the PVDF membrane was immersed in a non-solvent followed by a polymer coating solution. The effects of the modified membrane with the non-solvent methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and without the non-solvent was investigated over all weight concentrations of the coating solution. The SEM investigation found that the modified membrane surface transfiguration formed microspherulites that intensified as PP concentration increased with and without MEK. To understand the coating formation further, the solvent-non-solvent compatibility with the polymer was also discussed in this study. The membrane characterizations on the porosity, the contact angle, and the FTIR spectra were also conducted in determining the polymer coating properties. Hydrophobic membrane was achieved up to 119.85° contact angle and peak porosity of 87.62% using MEK as the non-solvent 40 mg mL-1 PP concentration. The objective of the current manuscript was to test the hydrophobicity and wetting degree of the coating layer. Hence, physical absorption via the membrane contactor using CO2 as the feed gas was carried out. The maximum CO2 flux of 3.33 × 10-4 mol m-2 s-1 was achieved by 25 mg modified membrane at a fixed absorbent flow rate of 100 mL min-1 while 40 mg modified membrane showed better overall flux stability.

Abstract
A blended membrane based on poly(oxyphenylene benzimidazole) (PBI) and ethyl cellulose (EC) exhibits heat resistance and good electrochemical performance. The prepared blended polymer gel membranes show no visible dimensional change after being held at 350 °C for 30 min, whereas the polyethylene (PE) separator almost completely melts. In addition to excellent thermal stability, the self-supporting blended membranes also exhibit a uniform thermal distribution during the heating process from 60 to 200 °C. Additionally, the ionic conductivities of the PBI/EC blended membranes with different ratios are 1.24 mS cm-1 (1:1), 2.58 mS cm-1 (1:2), and 1.68 mS cm-1 (1:3), which are much higher than those of the PE separator (0.39 mS cm-1). Compared to that of the PE separator (113 mAh g-1), the cell with a separator of PBI/EC = 1:2 retained a discharge capacity of 131 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.5C. Meanwhile, the rate performance of the cell was also better than that of the PE separator, especially at high currents (5C). All of the results indicate that this blended polymer gel membrane with good thermal stability is expected to be applied to high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Secondary batteries have received huge attention due to their attractive features in applications of large-scale energy storage and portable electronic devices, as well as electrical vehicles. In a secondary battery, a membrane plays the role of separating the anode and cathode to prevent the occurrence of a short circuit, while allowing the transport of charge carriers to achieve a complete circuit. The properties of a membrane will largely determine the performance of a battery. In this article, we review the research and development progress of porous membranes in secondary battery technologies, such as lithium-based batteries together with flow batteries. The preparation methods as well as the required properties of porous membranes in different secondary battery technologies will be elucidated thoroughly and deeply. Most importantly, this review will mainly focus on the optimization and modification of porous membranes in different secondary battery systems. And various modifications on commercial porous membranes along with novel membrane materials are widely discussed and summarized. This review will help to optimize the membrane material for different secondary batteries, and favor the understanding of the preparation-structure-performance relationship of porous membranes in different secondary batteries. Therefore, this review will provide an extensive, comprehensive and professional reference to design and construct high-performance porous membranes.
