ACS CENTRAL SCIENCE 2024; 10:603-614. [PMID: 38559301 PMCID: PMC10979504 DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.3c01490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Anion exchange membrane (AEM) fuel cells (AEMFCs) and water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) suffer from insufficient performance and durability compared with commercialized energy conversion systems. Great efforts have been devoted to designing high-quality AEMs and catalysts. However, the significance of the stability of the catalyst layer has been largely disregarded. Here, an in situ cross-linking strategy was developed to promote the interactions within the catalyst layer and the interactions between catalyst layer and AEM. The adhesion strength of the catalyst layer after cross-linking was improved 7 times compared with the uncross-linked catalyst layer due to the formation of covalent bonds between the catalyst layer and AEM. The AEMFC can be operated under 0.6 A cm-2 for 1000 h with a voltage decay rate of 20 μV h-1. The related AEMWE achieved an unprecedented current density of 15.17 A cm-2 at 2.0 V and was operated at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 A cm-2 for 1000 h.

Abstract
Membrane fouling during the use of separation membrane has always been the main reason for the degradation of membrane performance. The traditional solution is complicated and inefficient, so we proposed multi-step integration method to prepare antifouling zwitterionic poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PAES-Z-x) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane with higher efficiency. We designed and synthesized a bisphenol precursor containing tertiary amine groups, which could provide reactive sites for grafting zwitterionic group. Afterwards, the zwitterionic modified UF membrane was prepared by graft copolymerization and non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS). The morphology, hydrophilicity, water flux and rejection of the PAES-Z-x membrane could be optimized by tuning zwitterion content. The hydration layer formed by zwitterions effectively reduced the adsorption of proteins and endowed the membrane good antifouling properties. The resulting membrane showed the pure water flux increased (up to 311 L m-2h-1 bar-1), high bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection (97%) and good water flux recovery ratio (FRR) (82.8%). Zwitterionic antifouling PAES UF membrane prepared by a simple and effective method provided a new direction for improving PAES UF membrane's antifouling performance.

Abstract
Membrane separation technology is one of the cost effective and most efficient technologies for treatment of wastewater from textile industry. However, development of membranes with better performance and thermal stability is still a highly challenging task. In this study, successful preparation of a novel thermally stable polyimide (PI) polymer was demonstrated using 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenylenediamine, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride components. PI was selected as representative candidate because of its excellent thermal stability (decomposition temperature of 529 °C), as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, PI polymer was used to fabricate ultrafiltration (UF) membrane by phase inversion process. This UF membrane is especially interesting as it allowed for almost complete penetration of monovalent (NaCl) and divalent (Na2SO4) inorganic salts because of its molecular weight cut off of 9320 Da. Moreover, the membrane exhibited very good surface hydrophilicity with the water contact angle of 67.6°. This PI-based UF membrane was found to be substantially effective as it showed high pure-water and dye-permeation fluxes of 345.10 and 305.58 L m-2 h-1 at 0.1 MPa, respectively. Besides, the membrane exhibited a rejection of 98.65% toward the direct red 23 dye (100 ppm) at 0.1 MPa. Thus, this PI-based UF membrane is highly beneficial and acts as a potential candidate for dye removal from wastewater produced by textile industry.

Abstract
This study reports a systematic investigation of fine-tuning the filtration performance of nanofiltration membranes with biophenol coatings to produce solvent-resistant membranes with 390-1550 g mol-1 molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) and 0.5-40 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 permeance. Six kinds of inexpensive, commercial biophenols (dopamine, tannic acid, vanillyl alcohol, eugenol, morin, and quercetin) were subjected to identical oxidant-promoted polymerization to coat six kinds of loose asymmetric membrane supports: polyimide (PI), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polysulfone (PSf), polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), polybenzimidazole (PBI), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The coatings were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The long-term stability of 42 membranes were tested in 12 organic solvents, including emerging green solvents MeTHF and Cyrene. The biophenol coatings led to tighter membranes with a decrease in MWCO of 12-79% at a penalty of a 22-92% permeance decrease in acetone.
