Abstract
Despite being extensively explored as cathodes in batteries, sulfur (S) can function as a low-potential anode by changing charge carriers in electrolytes. Here, a highly reversible S anode that fully converts from S8 0 to S2- in static aqueous S-I2 batteries by using Na+ as the charge carrier is reported. This S anode exhibits a low potential of -0.5 V (vs standard hydrogen electrode) and a near-to-theoretical capacity of 1404 mA h g-1 . Importantly, it shows significant advantages over the widely used Zn anode in aqueous media by obviating dendrite formation and H2 evolution. To suppress "shuttle effects" faced by both S and I2 electrodes, a scalable sulfonated polysulfone (SPSF) membrane is proposed, which is superior to commercial Nafion in cost (US$1.82 m-2 vs $3500 m-2 ) and environmental benignity. Because of its ultra-high selectivity in blocking polysulfides/iodides, the battery with SPSF displays excellent cycling stability. Even under 100% depth of discharge, the battery demonstrates high capacity retention of 87.6% over 500 cycles, outperforming Zn-I2 batteries with 3.1% capacity under the same conditions. These findings broaden anode options beyond metals for high-energy, low-cost, and fast-chargeable batteries.

Abstract
Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have gained significant attention as an appealing membrane technology due to their reversible fouling and potential cost-effectiveness. Previous studies have predominantly focused on improving the selective layers to enhance membrane performance. However, the importance of improving the support layers has been increasingly recognized. Therefore, in this review, preparation methods for the support layer, including the traditional phase inversion method and the electrospinning (ES) method, as well as the construction methods for the support layer with a polyamide (PA) layer, are analyzed. Furthermore, the effect of the support layers on the performance of the TFC membrane is presented. This review aims to encourage the exploration of suitable support membranes to enhance the performance of TFC membranes and extend their future applications.

Abstract
Fabric-reinforced thin film composite (TFC) membranes exhibit outstanding mechanical durability over free-standing membranes for commercial applications. In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was incorporated to modify the polysulfone (PSU) supported fabric-reinforced TFC membrane for forward osmosis (FO). The effects of PEG content and molecular weight on the structure, material property and FO performance of the membrane were investigated comprehensively, and the corresponding mechanisms were revealed. The membrane prepared by using 400 g/mol PEG exhibited better FO performances than those of membranes with 1000 and 2000 g/mol PEG, and 20 wt.% was demonstrated to be the optimal PEG content in the casting solution. The permselectivity of the membrane was further improved by reducing the PSU concentration. The optimal TFC-FO membrane had a water flux (Jw) of 25.0 LMH using deionized (DI) water feed and 1 M NaCl draw solution, and the specific reverse salt flux (Js/Jw) was as low as 0.12 g/L. The degree of internal concentration polarization (ICP) was significantly mitigated. The membrane behaved superior to the commercially available fabric-reinforced membranes. This work provides a simple and low-cost approach in the development TFC-FO membrane and shows great potential in the large-scale production for practical applications.

Abstract
The forward osmosis (FO) process suffers from unfavorable internal concentration polarization (ICP) of the solute within the support layer of thin-film composite forward osmosis (TFC-FO) membranes. To lower the ICP effect, a support layer with low tortuosity, high porosity, and interconnected pores is necessary. In the present investigation, sodium bicarbonate has been presented as a simple pore-forming agent to decline the ICP within a poly(ethersulfone) substrate. In particular, the porous poly(ethersulfone) support layer was fabricated by embedding sodium bicarbonate into the casting solution to form CO2 gas bubbles in the substrate during phase inversion in an acidic nonsolvent. Experimental results revealed that the separation performance of the TFC-FO membranes significantly improved. The most water-permeable membrane was prepared in the acidic nonsolvent (TFC-SB.3) and it demonstrated a water flux of 26.6 LMH and a reverse salt flux of 3.6 gMH in the FO test. In addition, the TFC-SB.3 membrane showed an 85% increase in water permeability (2.13 LMH/bar) with negligible change in salt rejection (94.3%). Such observations were based on the increase of substrate porosity and the improved connectivity of the finger-like channels through in situ CO2 gas bubbling that alleviate the ICP phenomena. Therefore, the current study presents a simple, scalable method to design a high-performance TFC-FO membrane.

Abstract
A sulfonated graphene oxide@metal-organic framework-modified forward osmosis nanocomposite (SGO@UiO-66-TFN) membrane was developed to improve stability and heavy metal removal performance. An in situ growth method was applied to uniformly distribute UiO-66 nanomaterial with a frame structure on SGO nanosheets to form SGO@UiO-66 composite nanomaterial. This nanomaterial was then added to a polyamide layer using interfacial polymerization. The cross-linking between SGO@UiO-66 and m-phenylenediamine improved the stability of the nanomaterial in the membrane. Additionally, the water permeability was improved because of additional water channels introduced by SGO@UiO-66. SGO, with its lamellar structure, and UiO-66, with its frame structure, made the diffusion path of the solute more circuitous, which improved the heavy metal removal and salt rejection performances. Moreover, the hydrophilic layer of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane could block contaminants and loosen the structure of the pollution layer, ensuring that the membrane maintained a high removal rate. The water flux and reverse solute flux of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane reached 14.77 LMH and 2.95 gMH, and compared with the thin-film composite membrane, these values were increased by 41 and 64%, respectively. The membrane also demonstrated a good heavy metal ion removal performance. In 2 h, the heavy metal ion removal rate (2000 ppm Cu2+ and Pb2+) was greater than 99.4%, and in 10 h the removal rate was greater than 97.5%.

Abstract
One of the major challenges facing the practical application of forward osmosis (FO) membranes is the need for high performance. Thus, the fabrication of highly permselective FO membranes is of great importance. The objective of this study was to improve the wettability/hydrophilicity of electrospun nanofiber (ESNF)-based substrates for the fabrication of nanofiber-supported thin film composite (NTFC) membranes for FO application. This study explored the impact of electrospun polyethersulfone/polyacrylonitrile (PES/PAN) nanofibers as the blend support to produce NTFC membranes. The blending of PES/PAN in the spinning dope was optimized. The blending of hydrophilic PAN (0-10 wt%) in PES affects the fiber diameter, hydrophilicity, water uptake, and roughness of the ESNF membrane substrates. Continuous thermal-rolling pretreatment was performed on the ESNF substrates prior to interfacial polymerization for polyamide active layer deposition. The results indicated that the fabricated NTFC membrane achieved significantly greater water flux (L/m2 h) while retaining a low specific salt flux (g/L) compared to traditional TFC membranes. The NTFC membrane flux increased with an increase in PAN content in the ESNF substrate. According to the FO performance results, the NTFC-10 (PES/PAN blend ratio of 90:10) exhibited optimal performance: a high water flux of 42.1 and 52.2 L/m2 h for the FO and PRO modes, respectively, and low specific salt flux of 0.27 and 0.24 g/L for the FO and PRO modes, respectively, using 1 M NaCl as the draw solution. This demonstrated the higher selectivity and water flux achieved by the developed NTFC membranes compared to the traditional TFC membranes.

Abstract
Rational design of a high-performance defect-free polyamide (PA) layer on a robust ceramic substrate is challenging for forward osmosis (FO) water treatment applications. In this study, we first demonstrated a robust ceramic-based thin-film composite (TFC) FO membrane by engineering a novel nanocomposite interlayer of titanium dioxide and carbon nanotube (TiO2/CNT). The structural morphologies and properties were systematically characterized for different substrates (without interlayer, with TiO2 interlayer, or with TiO2/CNT interlayer) and the corresponding ceramic-based TFC-FO membranes. Introduction of low roughness nanocomposite interlayers with decreased pore size created an interface with improved surface characteristics, favoring the formation of a defect-free nanovoid-containing PA layer with high cross-linking degree. The resulting ceramic-based FO membrane had a water permeability of approximately 2 L/(m2 h bar) and a NaCl rejection of 98%, showing simultaneous enhancements in both compared to the control membrane without an interlayer. Mechanism analysis indicates that such a special nanocomposite interlayer not only provided more active sites for the formation of a thinner defect-free nanovoid-containing PA layer without penetration into substrate but also acted as a highly porous three-dimensional network structure for rapid water transport. This work provides a novel protocol for rational design and fabrication of a high-performance multilayered inorganic FO membrane as well as extended applications in water treatment with enhanced performance.

Abstract
Abstract
In food processing, concentration of liquid food is one of the important steps required for several purposes. Concentration of liquid food while preserving sensorial and nutritional components is quite challenging, especially for thermal-based concentrating processes. This is due to the significant loss of those components which are heat sensitive. Therefore, considerable efforts have been devoted to develop new concentrating processes which can solve this problem. Among the developed processes, forward osmosis (FO) has been considered as an interesting alternative since it can be operated at low operating pressure and temperature and obtain a concentrated solution with high solid contents. However, there are several challenges in FO operation e.g. fouling phenomena, concentration polarization, and reverse diffusion of solution from draw solution. To address these issues, several developments have been made to prepare membrane which has high hydrophilicity, low fouling tendency, reduced concentration polarization, and low solute diffusion. The desired membrane has been obtained, for example, by modifying selective and support layers of the membrane. This paper reviews advances in FO membrane, including membrane preparation and modification. Principle and important parameters of FO in concentrating liquid foods are overviewed. In addition, challenges and strategies in FO membrane preparation are discussed.

Abstract
High-performance chlorine-resistant thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with zwitterions were fabricated by in situ surface modification of polyamide with 2,6-diaminopyridine and the subsequential quaternization with 3-bromopropionic. The successful modification of the TFC polyamide surface with zwitterions was confirmed by various characterizations including surface chemistry, surface hydrophilicity, and surface charge. The transport performance of the membrane was measured in both of the cross-flow reverse osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis processes, and the results showed that the modified TFC membrane improved both of its water permeability and perm-selectivity with the increased A and A/ B ratios upon modification with zwitterions. The chlorination challenging experiments were performed to demonstrate that the modified membrane enhanced its chlorine resistance without affecting its salt rejection upon 16 000 ppm·h chlorination exposure. A chlorination mechanism study illustrated that the modified membrane with zwitterions could prevent the Orton rearrangement of the benzene ring of the polyamide layer. Importantly and excitingly, the optimal chlorinated TFC membrane with zwitterions achieved a very high water flux of 72.15 ± 2.55 LMH with 99.67 ± 0.09% of salt rejection in the cross-flow RO process under 15 bar.

Abstract
In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified with sulfonated groups and incorporated into the active layer of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane to achieve a desirable thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) FO membrane. Different concentrations of sulfonated carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) were added, and their impact on the FO membrane was also investigated, including the hydrophilicity, roughness, membrane morphology and FO performance. With the addition of SCNTs, the membrane surface got smoother and denser, and the hydrophilicity also improved significantly. Regarding FO performance, SCNTs-functionalized FO membranes exhibited higher water flux (Jw) and lower reverse salt flux (Js). The optimal Jw of 29.9 ± 1.6 LMH was achieved by using 1 M NaCl solution as the draw solution (DS) and deionized (DI) water as the feed solution (FS), almost 140% higher than the control (21.3 ± 2.1 LMH) and Js decreased to about 12%. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified with sulfonated groups and incorporated into the active layer of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane to achieve a desirable thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) FO membrane.![]()
