Today, membrane technologies play a big role in chemical industry, especially in separation
engineering. Tannic acid, one of the most famous polyphenols, has attracted widespread …

Polyphenols, the ubiquitous secondary metabolites of plants, are an important part of human
diet and are essential for plant functions. They have attracted considerable interest due to …

Inspired by the mussel adhesion mechanism, plant polyphenol tannic acid (TA) with
abundant catechol groups and hydrophilic Jeffamine (JA) containing amino groups were …

Adsorptive membranes offer an effective mode to remove heavy metal ions from
contaminated water, due to the synergies made possible by low-cost, high-affinity …

Abstract Polyethylenimine-tannins coated SiO 2 (SiO 2@ PEI-TA) hybrid materials have
been prepared via a single-step multifunctional coating with polyethylenimine (PEI) and …

The MgAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) was modified with polyethylene polyamine (PP)
and tannic acid (TA) to improve the adsorption property of heavy metal ions. The PP@ TA …

Membrane separation technology usually faces challenges such as membrane fouling, a
short lifespan, and a “trade-off” between permeability and selectivity when treating …

Mono/multivalent cation separation techniques have shown increasing importance in
diverse environmental and energy applications. The separation performance of emerging …

Fabricating loose membranes with well-tailored porosity for effective molecular separations
remains challenging. Here, we introduce RCC3, a soluble porous organic cage (POC), as …

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes with tannic acid (TA) based selective layers have been
intensively studied in recent years, but they still suffer from poor inorganic salt rejection. This …
