Abstract
The quest for a cost-effective, chemically-inert, robust and proton conducting membrane for flow batteries is at its paramount. Perfluorinated membranes suffer severe electrolyte diffusion, whereas conductivity and dimensional stability in engineered thermoplastics depend on the degree of functionalization. Herein, we report surface-modified thermally crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol-silica (PVA-SiO2) membranes for the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Hygroscopic, proton-storing metal oxides such as SiO2, ZrO2 and SnO2 were coated on the membranes via the acid-catalyzed sol-gel strategy. The membranes of PVA-SiO2-Si, PVA-SiO2-Zr and PVA-SiO2-Sn demonstrated excellent oxidative stability in 2 M H2SO4 containing 1.5 M VO2+ ions. The metal oxide layer had good influence on conductivity and zeta potential values. The observed trend for conductivity and zeta potential values was PVA-SiO2-Sn > PVA-SiO2-Si > PVA-SiO2-Zr. In VRFB, the membranes showcased higher Coulombic efficiency than Nafion-117 and stable energy efficiencies over 200 cycles at the 100 mA cm-2 current density. The order of average capacity decay per cycle was PVA-SiO2-Zr < PVA-SiO2-Sn < PVA-SiO2-Si < Nafion-117. PVA-SiO2-Sn had the highest power density of 260 mW cm-2, while the self-discharge for PVA-SiO2-Zr was ~3 times higher than Nafion-117. VRFB performance reflects the potential of the facile surface modification technique to design advanced membranes for energy device applications.

Abstract
A series of hybridized charged membrane materials containing carboxyl and silyl groups were prepared via the epoxy ring-opening reaction and sol-gel methods using 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (WD-60) and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000) as raw materials and DMF as a solvent. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermal gravimetric analyzer/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) analysis showed that the heat resistance of the polymerized materials could reach over 300 °C after hybridization. A comparison of the results of heavy metal lead and copper ions' adsorption tests on the materials at different times, temperatures, pHs, and concentrations showed that the hybridized membrane materials have good adsorption effects on heavy metals and better adsorption effects on lead ions. The maximum capacity obtained from optimized conditions for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions were 0.331 and 5.012 mmol/g. The experiments proved that this material is indeed a new environmentally friendly, energy-saving, high-efficiency material. Moreover, their adsorptions for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions will be evaluated as a model for the separation and recovery of heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
In recent years, a well-known membrane-based process called pervaporation (PV), has attracted remarkable attention due to its advantages for selective separation of a wide variety of liquid mixtures. However, some restrictions of polymeric membranes have led to research studies on developing membranes for efficient separation in the PV process. Recent studies have focused on preparation of nanocomposite membranes as an effective method to improve both selectivity and permeability of polymeric membranes. The present study provides a review of PV nanocomposite membranes for various applications. In this review, recent developments in the field of nanocomposite membranes, including the fabrication methods, characterization, and PV performance, are summarized.

[PMID: 35746000 PMCID: PMC9230746 DOI: 10.3390/polym14122424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel alkali-induced grafting polymerization was designed to synthesize a PFGPA proton exchange membrane based on the co-grafting of α-methyl styrene (AMS) and acrylonitrile (AN) into the poly(vinylidenedifluoride) (PVDF) membrane. Three kinds of alkali treatments were used: by immersing the PVDF membranes into a 1 M NaOH solution and mixing the PVDF powders with 16% or 20% Na4SiO4. Then, AMS with AN could be co-grafted into the PVDF backbones in two grafting solvents, THF or IPA/water. Finally, the grafted membranes were sulfonated to provide the PFGPA membranes. In the experiments, the Na4SiO4 treatments showed a greater grafting degree than the NaOH treatment. The grafting degree increased with the increasing amount of Na4SiO4. The grafting solvent also influenced the grafting degree. A 40–50 percent grafting degree was obtained in either the THF or IPA/water solvent after the Na4SiO4 treatment and the THF resulted in a greater grafting degree. FTIR and XPS testified that the PFGPA membranes had been prepared and a partial hydrolysis of the cyano group from AN occurred. The PFGPA membranes with the grafting degree of about 40–50 percent showed a better dimensional stability in methanol, greater water uptake capabilities, and lower ion exchange capacities and conductivities than the Nafion 117 membranes. The PFGPA membrane with the 16% Na4SiO4 treatment and THF as the grafting solvent exhibited a better chemical stability. The obtained experimental results will provide a guide for the synthesis of alkali-grafted PFGPA membranes in practical use.

Development of Hybrid and Templated Silica-P123 Membranes for Brackish Water Desalination. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12112644.

Abstract
Water scarcity is still a pressing issue in many regions. The application of membrane technology through water desalination to convert brackish to potable water is a promising technology to solve this issue. This study compared the performance of templated TEOS-P123 and ES40-P123 hybrid membranes for brackish water desalination. The membranes were prepared by the sol–gel method by employing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) for the carbon-templated silica (soft template) and ethyl silicate (ES40) for the hybrid organo-silica. Both sols were templated by adding 35 wt.% of pluronic triblock copolymer (P123) as the carbon source. The silica-templated sols were dip-coated onto alumina support (four layers) and were calcined by using the RTP (rapid thermal processing) method. The prepared membranes were tested using pervaporation set up at room temperature (~25 °C) using brackish water (0.3 and 1 wt.%) as the feed. It was found that the hybrid membrane exhibited the highest specific surface area (6.72 m2·g−1), pore size (3.67 nm), and pore volume (0.45 cm3·g−1). The hybrid ES40-P123 was twice thicker (2 μm) than TEOS-P123-templated membranes (1 μm). Lastly, the hybrid ES40-P123 displayed highest water flux of 6.2 kg·m−2·h−1. Both membranes showed excellent robustness and salt rejections of >99%.

Abstract
A new synthesis method for organic–inorganic hybrid Poly(vinylidene fluoride)-SiO2 cation-change membranes (CEMs) is proposed. This method involves mixing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-mercapto-propyl-triethoxy-silane (MPTES) into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sol-gel solution. The resulting slurry was used to prepare films, which were immersed in 0.01 M HCl, which caused hydrolysis and polycondensation between the MPTES and TEOS. The resulting Si-O-Si polymers chains intertwined and/or penetrated the PVDF skeleton, significantly improving the mechanical strength of the resulting hybrid PVDF-SiO2 CEMs. The -SH functional groups of MPTES oxidized to-SO3H, which contributed to the excellent permeability of these CEMs. The surface morphology, hybrid structure, oxidative stability, and physicochemical properties (IEC, water uptake, membrane resistance, membrane potential, transport number, and selective permittivity) of the CEMs obtained in this work were characterized using scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as electrochemical testing. Tests to analyze the oxidative stability, water uptake, membrane potential, and selective permeability were also performed. Our organic–inorganic hybrid PVDF-SiO2 CEMs demonstrated higher oxidative stability and lower resistance than commercial Ionsep-HC-C membranes with a hydrocarbon structure. Thus, the synthesis method described in this work is very promising for the production of very efficient CEMs. In addition, the physical and electrochemical properties of the PVDF-SiO2 CEMs are comparable to the Ionsep-HC-C membranes. The electrolysis of the concentrated CoCl2 solution performed using PVDF-SiO2-6 and Ionsep-HC-C CEMs showed that at the same current density, Co2+ production, and current efficiency of the PVDF-SiO2-6 CEM membrane were slightly higher than those obtained using the Ionsep-HC-C membrane. Therefore, our novel membrane might be suitable for the recovery of cobalt from concentrated CoCl2 solutions.

Abstract
Boron nitride (BN) is an exciting material and has drawn the attention of researchers for the last decade due to its surprising properties, including large surface area, thermomechanical stability, and high chemical resistance. Functionalization of BN is a new area of interest to build up novel properties and applications of BN. BN and functionalized BN are promising membrane materials and show enormous advantages ascribed to their simple synthesis, high surface area, mechanical and thermal stability, and distinctive mechanical properties. BN-based proton exchange membranes show improvement in their physicochemical, electrochemical, thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties. Only a few research studies have been carried out on BN-based highly stable proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for various electrochemical applications. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the functionalization of BN by different methods. The synthesis of different proton exchange membranes has also been discussed in this article. In addition, the potential applications of hybrid proton exchange membranes have also been mentioned.

Abstract
An original method for the one-stage synthesis of sulfur-containing silica of SBA-15 type is developed and described. Instead of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) typically used as a source of silica, the inexpensive sodium metasilicate has been applied in our method. The mesoporous silica material was first functionalized with thiol groups then oxidized by concentrated nitric acid to produce sulfonic groups. The samples obtained possess developed specific surface area (Ssp = 320–675 m2 g−1) and porous structure with an effective pore diameter of 3.5–5.7 nm. The orderliness of the structure and presence of surface sulfur-containing acidic groups of various natures in the synthesized materials were determined using XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption, conductivity and potentiometric titration methods. Based on the results of the measurements of the zeta potential vs. pH and electrolyte concentration, conclusions about the electro-surface properties and aggregation stability of sample dispersion have been drawn. The obtained samples are environmentally-friendly and could be used in green chemistry. Hybrid

Abstract
A better understanding of the interactions of carbon black and perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomer helps to improve the effectiveness of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. We present a simple and fast method for quantitative PFSA ionomer analysis based on suspension density measurements. After validation of the reliability of our method by thermogravimetric analysis and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we investigate the adsorption equilibrium of short-side-chain PFSA ionomers of different equivalent weights (EW) and polarities on carbon black. The measured adsorption isotherms exhibit a plateau in the ionomer surface concentration for ionomer equilibrium concentrations ≤2 g/L. In this concentration range, the adsorption isotherms are described by the Langmuir model, whereby the surface concentrations in the plateau region are between 0.041 and 0.070 g/g. The plateau value of the ionomer surface concentration increases with EW and therefore with decreasing number of side chains with terminal sulfonic acid group per ionomer molecule, while the amount of adsorbed sulfonic acid groups remains constant for all investigated ionomers, resulting in similar ζ-potentials and sedimentation stability of the suspensions. The free energies of adsorption Δ G calculated from the association constants of the adsorption isotherms agree well with Δ G values obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and thus validate the adsorption isotherm measurement method. From the values of adsorption enthalpy Δ H ((-7.3 ± 0.8) kJ/mol) and entropy Δ S (ca. 100 J/(mol K)), which were extracted from ITC, we conclude that the ionomer adsorption on carbon black is a spontaneous physisorption process.

Abstract
Hybrid inorganic⁻polymer nanocomposites can be employed in diverse applications due to the potential combination of desired properties from both the organic and inorganic components. The use of novel bottom⁻up in situ synthesis methods for the fabrication of these nanocomposites is advantageous compared to top⁻down ex situ mixing methods, as it offers increased control over the structure and properties of the material. In this review, the focus will be on the application of the sol⁻gel process for the synthesis of inorganic oxide nanoparticles in epoxy and polysiloxane matrices. The effect of the synthesis conditions and the reactants used on the inorganic structures formed, the interactions between the polymer chains and the inorganic nanoparticles, and the resulting properties of the nanocomposites are appraised from several studies over the last two decades. Lastly, alternative in situ techniques and the applications of various polymer⁻inorganic oxide nanocomposites are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Novel sulfonated polybenzimidazole (s-PBI)/cellulose/silica bionanocomposite membranes were prepared from fluorine-containing s-PBI copolymer with a cellulose/silica precursor and a bonding agent. The introduction of the bonding agent results in the reinforcing interfacial interaction between s-PBI chains and the cellulose/silica nanoparticles. Commercially available silica nanoparticles were modified with biodegradable nanocellolose through ultrasonic irradiation technique. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed that the cellulose/silica composites were well dispersed in the s-PBI matrix on a nanometer scale. The mechanical properties and the methanol barrier ability of the s-PBI films were improved by the addition of cellulose/silica. The modulus of the s-PBI/10 wt% cellulose/silica nanocomposite membranes had a 45% increase compared to the pure s-PBI films, and the methanol permeability decreased by 62% with respect to the pure s-PBI membranes. The conductivities of the s-PBI/cellulose/silica nanocomposites were slightly lower than the pure s-PBI. The antibacterial activity of (s-PBI)/cellulose/silica was investigated against Gram-positive bacteria, ie, Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus and Gram-negative bacteria, ie, Escherichia coli, E. coli O157:H7 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by the disc diffusion method using Mueller Hinton agar at different sizes of cellulose/silica. All of the synthesized (s-PBI)/cellulose/silica were found to have high antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Active chlorine is the most powerful microbicidal reagent in swimming pools, potable water, hospitals, and medical surgeries. Its production mainly relies on reactive inorganic intermediates and electrochemical methods that involve undesired waste products and high energy as well as material costs. In this study, we fabricated a low-cost chip based on sputter-coated thin films of silver (Ag) that acted as recyclable and effective photoelectrode for the photocatalytic production of active chlorine (HOCl) from aqueous media and artificial sunlight. The photoelectrode was electrochemically activated to AgCl at low overpotentials between 0.2 and 0.4 V vs Ag|AgCl (3 M KCl) and photocatalytically reduced to Ag(0) for 15 consecutive cycles, showing the electrode still being active. However, because of poor adhesion properties on the selected substrates, degradation effects were observed over time. Furthermore, the Ag@AgCl photoelectrode was integrated into a microfluidic chip, and we showed for the first time a light-driven microfluidic chip generating a constant stream of active chlorine.

Abstract
Membranas de PVA/sílica foram sintetizadas através do processo sol-gel em condições ácidas. Tetraetilortossilicato (TEOS) foi utilizado como precursor em concentrações de 5 a 30% em dois grupos distintos. Um grupo foi utilizado como controle contendo apenas PVA/TEOS. A inserção dos grupamentos necessários para a condutividade ocorreu através da introdução de 12% em massa de heteropoliácido fosfotúngstico hidratado (HPW) em relação à massa de TEOS, formando o segundo grupo. As avaliações quanto ao grau de inchamento, permeabilidade ao etanol e condutividade protônica demonstraram que a membrana contendo 30% em massa de TEOS apresenta os melhores resultados entre as membranas produzidas. Os melhores resultados foram 0,28 mS/cm de condutividade protônica e fluxo de 1,5 kg/m².h de solução de etanol. Nessas condições, considera-se a reticulação das membranas de PVA/SiO2 com o precursor TEOS uma boa alternativa para a reticulação de membranas de PVA visto que as membranas mostraram-se mais seletivas ao fluxo de solução de etanol. Entretanto, para aplicação como eletrólito de célula a combustível, ainda é necessário investigar outras formas de aumentar a condutividade sem prejudicar a estabilidade dimensional.
