SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2025; 21:e2406550.

Abstract
Water and ion transport in nanochannels is crucial for membrane-based technology in biological systems. 2D materials, especially graphene oxide (GO), the most frequently used as the starting material, are ideal building blocks for developing synthetic membranes. However, the selective exclusion of small ions while maintaining in a pressured filtration process remains a challenge for GO membranes. Herein, a novel "cation-recognition" effect is introduced within the nanochannels of reduced GO (rGO) membranes modified by ionic liquids (IL) to enhance the desalination performance. The resulting IL-intercalated rGO (IL-rGO) membranes exhibit remarkable stability even under prolonged exposure to acidic and basic conditions, without damage or delamination and maintain approximately ultrahigh water permeance (≈32.0 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and high Na2SO4 rejection. The density functional theory calculations revealed that IL-rGO nanochannels exhibited different exclusion effects on cations (Na+ and /or K+) and the attraction effect on water molecules, which led to the "cation-recognition" effect. Overall, this work provides a theoretical framework in sub-nanochannels for developing advanced 2D nanochannels to address the critical challenge of freshwater scarcity.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2025; 64:e202414211. [PMID: 39578700 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202414211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2024] [Revised: 11/17/2024] [Accepted: 11/18/2024] [Indexed: 11/24/2024]
Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with high Li-ion transference numbers and fast ionic conductivity are urgently needed for technological innovations in lithium-metal batteries. To promote the dissociation of ion pairs and overcome the mechanical brittleness and interface defects caused by traditional fillers in polymeric electrolytes, we designed and fabricated a cationic hypercrosslinking metal-organic polyhedra (HCMOPs) polymer as SSE. Benefiting a three-component synergistic effect: cationic MOPs, branched polyethyleneimine macromonomer and polyelectrolyte units, the Li-HCMOP electrolyte possesses a high Li-ion conductivity, a high Li-ion transference number and a low activation energy. The LiFePO4/Li battery exhibits high capacity with superior rate performance and cycling stability. Moreover, soluble MOPs serve as high crosslinking nodes to provide excellent mechanical strength for electrolytes and good compatibility with polymers. This work highlights an effective idea of high-performance MOP-based solid-state electrolytes applied in LMBs.

Abstract
Selective separation and precise control of the structure and surface characterization for two-dimensional (2D) membranes is the key technology that needs to be revealed for further development of the material in practical application. Current researches focus on the cross-linking and modification of single nanosheet to improve and manipulate the performance of 2D lamellar membranes. In this paper, the selectivity principles such as size exclusion, charge properties, and surface chemical affinity in the separation process of 2D membranes were comprehensively and systematically reviewed, as well as the preparation of hybrid membranes combining the advantages of various raw materials. We also analyzed the practical application of the separation principles in relevant researches and discussed the development directions of 2D membranes. These inductions have certain summary and guiding significance for the selective regulation and goal-oriented design of 2D membranes.

[PMID: 38797208 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The construction and modification of a Graphene Oxide (GO) membrane, incorporating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with maleic acid (MA) and supported by a nylon membrane, have been successfully completed. Systematic variations in PVA and MA concentrations were conducted to achieve membranes with favorable characteristics, stability, and excellent desalination performance. Optimization studies utilizing the Central Composite Design (CCD) revealed that the most optimal desalination results were obtained with 10 mL of PVA (0.1 mg mL-1) and 0.9 M of MA (GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane). Experimental findings demonstrated that the inclusion of PVA and MA resulted in an increased interlayer distance of GO and enhanced membrane stability. The addition of PVA increases GO membrane hydrophilicity, while the addition of MA reduces membrane hydrophilicity. The GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane exhibited the highest desalination performance, boasting a rejection value exceeding >99.9% and a permeance of 18.76 kg m-2.h-1 under 1% NaCl feed at a temperature of 50 °C. This membrane demonstrated consistent desalination performance stability over an extended period of up to 70 h. Moreover, it exhibited durability through 8 cycles of 24-h usage with washing treatment. In conclusion, the GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane is strongly recommended for practical applications, outperforming other membrane options based on the comprehensive evaluation of its stability and desalination efficiency.
