Nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been widely applied in many important environmental
applications, including water softening, surface/groundwater purification, wastewater …

The development of interfacial polymerization (IP) technique has revolutionarily changed
our methods for water treatment and desalination. Over decades, researchers have devoted …

In this study, we report the emergence of two-dimensional (2D) branching fractal structures
(BFS) in the nanoconfinement between the active and the support layer of a thin-film …

The desirable performance of polyamide membranes for seawater/brackish desalination
seeks not only high water permeance, but also the pursuit of high salt rejection. However …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have evinced a potential solution that promises for fast
and efficient molecular separation due to the presence of orderly arranged pores and …

Nanofiltration membranes are attractive for the removal of the heavy metal ions but limited
by the trade-off between permeance and solute rejection. Membrane permeance is closely …

The deep role and mechanism of post-treatment in the morphology and performance of thin-
film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membranes have rarely been revealed. In this work …

Research on the effect of interfacial polymerization (IP) temperature during polyamide layer
synthesis is lacking, especially for thin film nanocomposite (TFN) nanofiltration membrane …

Nanofiltration technology has been applied in a variety of water treatment scenarios.
However, conventional thin-film composite (TFC) membranes fail to remove emerging …

Extraction of lithium from salt lakes is an important route for lithium sources. Due to the
unique structure and separation mechanism, ie, size exclusion and Donnan effect …
