Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes commonly adopt a thin film composite
(TFC) structure featuring a polyamide rejection layer formed on a porous substrate. Recent …

The separation properties of polyamide reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes,
widely applied for desalination and water reuse, are constrained by the permeability …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a versatile class of porous materials offering
unprecedented scope for chemical and structural tunability. On account of their synthetic …

Polydopamine is one of the simplest and most versatile approaches to functionalizing
material surfaces, having been inspired by the adhesive nature of catechols and amines in …

Membrane separation properties are constrained by a tradeoff relationship between
permeability and selectivity. This tradeoff relationship has been well established for gas …

The lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundantly perennial available natural
resources for green energy production. The heterogenous organic and inorganic composite …

Recycling water from municipal wastewater offers a reliable and sustainable solution to
cities and regions facing shortage of water supply. Places including California and …

Thin-film composite (TFC) structured membranes based on polyamide (PA) chemistry is the
gold standard of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis-based technologies for water …

Polymeric membranes are an energy‐efficient means of purifying water, but they suffer from
fouling during filtration. Modification of the membrane surface is one route to mitigating …

Conventional thin-film composite (TFC) membranes suffer from the trade-off relationship
between permeability and selectivity, known as the “upper bound”. In this work, we report a …
