To improve the pervaporation performance of polyamide membrane, thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes were prepared through the interfacial polymerization between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) or ...

A research group has developed an ion-selective smart porous membrane that can respond to outer stimuli, potentially paving the way for new applications in molecular separation and sensing ...

Researchers have developed a new desalination membrane by laminating a two-dimensional carbon material on to the surface of a porous polymer membrane. This membrane has the potential to perform highly ...

Forward osmosis (FO), an emerging membrane-based technology, possesses low energy consumption and low membrane fouling potential, but the lack of high-performance FO membrane hinders the large-scale ...

An inexpensive new porous membrane can quickly remove a broad spectrum of antibiotics from wastewater efficiently and without requiring a lot of energy (Matter 2022, DOI: 10.1016/j.matt.2022.09.021).

A solar-powered water filter removes contaminants smaller than viruses without clogging or needing pumps, exploiting electrokinetic repulsion instead of nanopores.
