Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) synthesis by electrochemical two-electron oxygen reduction has garnered increasing interest as a wide range of potential applications. Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) can effectively promote the H2O2 production efficiency by overcoming the oxygen mass transfer limitations but strongly influenced by the electrowetting process along the long-term operation. In this study, the effect of trans-electrode pressure (TEP) of GDE cathode on the electrowetting process was further elucidated. We controlled the TEP values of four types of GDEs: two Ni-based GDEs and two carbon cloth GDEs prepared by hot-pressing or brushing carbon black. SBA-15 was further used to regulate the microstructure of one Ni-based GDE. It was found that an optimal range of TEP occurred for all tested GDEs in terms of the max. concentration, the yield efficiency, the energy consumption, and the stability because TEP may change the triple-phase interface and influence the anti-electrowetting effect. The porosity of hot-pressed Ni GDE can maintain the TEP window and thus enhance the production of H2O2, likely via creating oxygen-containing functional groups and a bimodal pore structure on the electrode, revealed with several characterization techniques including SEM, CA, XPS, Raman spectra, CV and EIS. The porous Ni GDE presented an efficient and stable production of H2O2 for 10 cycles: yielding H2O2 at 4393.2-4602.2 mmol m-2 h-1 with current efficiencies of 94.2-98.7%. The best accumulated H2O2 concentration can reach up to 3.58 ωt% H2O2 at 10 h. The results provide an important reference for the industrial scaleup of electro-production of H2O2 with GDEs.

Abstract
In order to recover lithium from brine with a high Mg2+/Li+ ratio, a positively charged nanofiltration (NF) membrane was prepared by depositing polydopamine (PDA)-coated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as the interlayer (PDA-g-C3N4) and the interfacial polymerization (IP) of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) was carried out. Under optimal conditions, the water contact angle of the composite membrane is only 55.5° and the isoelectric point (IEP) is 6.01. The final positively charged NF membrane (M5) exhibits high permeance (10.19 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1) and high rejection of Mg2+ (98.20%) but low rejection of Li+ (13.33%). The separation factor (SF) is up to 48.08, and the Mg2+/Li+ ratio of the permeate is 0.036 in the simulated brine. In conclusion, the M5 membrane shows a good separation performance for salt lake brine (SF = 12.79 and Mg2+/Li+ ratio of the permeate = 1.43) and good fouling resistance. Therefore, the positively charged M5 membrane with PDA-g-C3N4 as the interlayer has the potential to be used for the recovery of lithium from brine.

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.
