Abstract
The rapid pace of industrialization has led to a multitude of detrimental environmental consequences, including water pollution and global warming. Consequently, there is an urgent need to devise appropriate materials to address these challenges. Ionic porous organic polymers (iPOPs) have emerged as promising materials for oxoanion sequestration and non-redox CO2 fixation. Notably, iPOPs offer hydrothermal stability, structural tunability, a charged framework, and readily available nucleophilic counteranions. This review explores the significance of pores and charged functionalities alongside design strategies outlined in existing literature, mainly focusing on the incorporation of pyridinium and imidazolium units into nitrogen-rich iPOPs for oxoanion sequestration and non-redox CO2 fixation. The present review also addresses the current challenges and future prospects, delineating the design and development of innovative iPOPs for water treatment and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The fouling resistance of zwitterionic coatings is conventionally explained by the strong hydrophilicity of such polymers. Here, the in vitro biocompatibility of a set of systematically varied amphiphilic, zwitterionic copolymers is investigated. Photocrosslinkable, amphiphilic copolymers containing hydrophilic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SPe) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) were systematically synthesized in different ratios (50:50, 70:30, and 90:10) with a fixed content of photo-crosslinker by free radical copolymerization. The copolymers were spin-coated onto substrates and subsequently photocured by UV irradiation. Pure pBMA and pSPe as well as the prepared amphiphilic copolymers showed BMA content-dependent wettability in the dry state, but overall hydrophilic properties a fortiori in aqueous conditions. All polysulfobetaine-containing copolymers showed high resistance against non-specific adsorption (NSA) of proteins, platelet adhesion, thrombocyte activation, and bacterial accumulation. In some cases, the amphiphilic coatings even outperformed the purely hydrophilic pSPe coatings.

Abstract
Tight ultra-filtration (TUF) membranes were constructed by in situ growing zinc imidazole frameworks micro-crystalline leaves (ZIF-L) in polyethylene imine (PEI) and polydopamine (PDA) deposit layers on porous polyethylene (PE) substrates. The effects of preparation conditions on the surface physical and chemical structures as well as on the dye/salt separation performance of the formed TUF membranes were systematically investigated. By inserting selective water permeation channels and increasing contacting surface areas, in situ-grown ZIF-L arrays tightly cross-linked in the coating matrix greatly increased water permeation without trading off dye/salt retention selectivity. The morphology of the included ZIF-L particles could be varied by adjusting the ligand/Zn molar ratio (α) in the preparation processes. Optimized PDA-PEI/ZIF-L@PE TUF membranes containing ZIF-L of cross-cross block morphology showed very high pure water permeability of 180 ± 20 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 (LMHB) and retention selectivity (SCR/Na2SO4 and SMB/Na2SO4) of 267 and 43, respectively, as well as excellent stability and anti-fouling properties.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COF) have desirable properties such as high porosity, low mass density, excellent heat resistance and regulatable structure, making them an ideal candidate for membrane material. Traditional methods for preparing covalent organic framework composite membranes, such as interfacial polymerization, vacuum filtration, and covalent organic framework abrasive coating. Stand-alone COF membranes produced by the above methods usually suffer from problems such as poor mechanical properties. Here, we fabricated high performance COF composite membranes by modified casting-precipitation-evaporation method. The designed composite membranes consisted of the ionic COF (iCOF) selective layer and the support layer are applied in dye/salt separation. The high permeability (∼ 68 L h-1 m-2 bar-1), high dyes rejection (97% for Rose Bengal), and low salts rejection (∼ 2.86% for NaCl) are achieved by the iCOF functional layer. The as-prepared composite membranes have a hydrophilic and highly smooth surface, making them have good anti-fouling performance. In addition, the rigid pore structure of iCOF selective layer endows the composite membranes with excellent stability, the composite membranes maintain original structure under high pressure (6 bar) and ultrasonic treatment (16 kHz for 60 min). This work may open up a novel path to fabricate iCOF composite membranes, which exhibit great potential in dye/salt separation.

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with uniform pores and large surface areas are ideal candidates for constructing advanced molecular sieving membranes. However, a fabrication strategy to synthesize a free-standing COF membrane with a high permselectivity has not been fully explored yet. Herein, we prepared a free-standing TpPa-SO3H COF membrane with vertically aligned one-dimensional nanochannels. The introduction of the sulfonic acid groups on the COF membrane provides abundant negative charge sites in its pore wall, which achieve a high water flux and an excellent sieving performance toward water-soluble drugs and dyes with different charges and sizes. Furthermore, the COF membrane exhibited long-term stability, fouling resistance, and recyclability in rejection performance. We envisage that this work provides new insights into the effect of ionic ligands on the design of a broad range of COF membranes for advanced separation applications.

Abstract
This article applies four-wave mixing (FWM) spectroscopy, a third-order nonlinear optical spectroscopic technique which is not intrinsically surface- or interface-sensitive, to study silicone oil thin films, supplemented by second-order nonlinear-optical sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. Although studies of thin organic films using coherent antistokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), a special case of FWM, have been reported previously, in this study we demonstrate the feasibility of using a more general FWM process which involves three independent excitation laser beams to investigate silicone oil thin films. The results show that the FWM method has the potential to detect and provide molecular-level information on ultrathin silicone oil layers, down to a film thickness of 1 nm. This developed FWM methodology is widely applicable and can be utilized to study important issues in the biopharmaceutical field, e.g., to examine the distribution of silicone oil on syringe glass surfaces with subnanometer sensitivity. It can also be used to study the potentially slow reactions between silicone oil and glass surfaces as proposed in the literature but without direct molecular-level information.

Abstract
The relative importance of different ecological processes controlling biofilm community assembly over time on membranes with different surface characteristics has never been investigated in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). In this study, five ultrafiltration hollow-fiber membranes - having identical nominal pore size (0.1μm) but different hydrophobic or hydrophilic surface characteristics - were operated simultaneously in the same MBR tank with a constant flux of 10 liters per square meter per hour (LMH). In parallel, membrane modules operated without permeate flux (0 LMH) were submerged in the same MBR tank, to investigate the passive microbial adsorption onto different hydrophobic or hydrophilic membranes. Samples from the membrane biofilm were collected after 1, 10, 20, and 30days of continuous filtration. The membrane biofilm microbiome were investigated using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing from DNA and cDNA samples. Similar beta diversity trends were observed for both DNA- and cDNA-based analyses. Beta diversity analyses revealed that the nature of the membrane surface (i.e., hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic) did not seem to have an effect in shaping the bacterial community, and a similar biofilm microbiome evolved for all types of membranes. Similarly, membrane modules operated with and without permeate flux did not significantly influence alpha and beta diversity of the membrane biofilm. Nevertheless, different-aged membrane biofilm samples exhibited significant differences. Proteobacteria was the most dominant phylum in early-stage membrane biofilm after 1 and 10days of filtration. Subsequently, the relative reads abundance of the phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes increased within the membrane biofilm communities after 20 and 30days of filtration, possibly due to successional steps that lead to the formation of a relatively aged biofilm. Our findings indicate distinct membrane biofilm assembly patterns with different-aged biofilm. Ecological null model analyses revealed that the assembly of early-stage biofilm community developed after 1 and 10days of filtration was mainly governed by homogenous selection. As the biofilm aged (days 20 and 30), stochastic processes (e.g., ecological drift) started to become important in shaping the assembly of biofilm community.

Abstract
More and more two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are used in water separation membrane synthesis. Among the main influencing factors, surface properties and the interface structure of multilayers are the two crucial factors to the membrane separation performance. In the present paper, a silanol ((SiO3)x) and graphene oxide nanosheet composite (GO-(SiO3)x) was used to synthesize a skin like forward osmosis (FO) membrane for desalination by a surface layer-by-layer self-assembly method. We tested the separation performance of the FO membranes using DI water and 1.5 M NaCl aqueous solutions as feed and draw solutions, respectively. The results show that the molecular size and particle morphology of (SiO3)x grafted onto GO nanosheets play main roles in the water flux of the composite membrane. Based on this property and the self-assembly method, we can control the number of composite layers and the space between the GO nanosheets. Simultaneously, we have introduced a new concept: dilutive "skin layer concentration polarization (SLCP)" and the concentrative external concentration polarization (ECP) effect at the membrane surface are considered. The FO membrane synthesized in the current study exhibits a high level of water flux (above 30 L·m-2·h-1), and the salt retention capacity of the membranes increases as the number of composite layers increases. Thus, in this article, we find a way to create suitable water channels for separation of salt/water in a FO process by controlling the GO-(SiO3)x content and size.

Abstract
The forward osmosis (FO) process suffers from unfavorable internal concentration polarization (ICP) of the solute within the support layer of thin-film composite forward osmosis (TFC-FO) membranes. To lower the ICP effect, a support layer with low tortuosity, high porosity, and interconnected pores is necessary. In the present investigation, sodium bicarbonate has been presented as a simple pore-forming agent to decline the ICP within a poly(ethersulfone) substrate. In particular, the porous poly(ethersulfone) support layer was fabricated by embedding sodium bicarbonate into the casting solution to form CO2 gas bubbles in the substrate during phase inversion in an acidic nonsolvent. Experimental results revealed that the separation performance of the TFC-FO membranes significantly improved. The most water-permeable membrane was prepared in the acidic nonsolvent (TFC-SB.3) and it demonstrated a water flux of 26.6 LMH and a reverse salt flux of 3.6 gMH in the FO test. In addition, the TFC-SB.3 membrane showed an 85% increase in water permeability (2.13 LMH/bar) with negligible change in salt rejection (94.3%). Such observations were based on the increase of substrate porosity and the improved connectivity of the finger-like channels through in situ CO2 gas bubbling that alleviate the ICP phenomena. Therefore, the current study presents a simple, scalable method to design a high-performance TFC-FO membrane.

Abstract
Ionic liquids have attracted the attention of the industry and research community as versatile solvents with unique properties, such as ionic conductivity, low volatility, high solubility of gases and vapors, thermal stability, and the possibility to combine anions and cations to yield an almost endless list of different structures. These features open perspectives for numerous applications, such as the reaction medium for chemical synthesis, electrolytes for batteries, solvent for gas sorption processes, and also membranes for gas separation. In the search for better-performing membrane materials and membranes for gas and vapor separation, ionic liquids have been investigated extensively in the last decade and a half. This review gives a complete overview of the main developments in the field of ionic liquid membranes since their first introduction. It covers all different materials, membrane types, their preparation, pure and mixed gas transport properties, and examples of potential gas separation applications. Special systems will also be discussed, including facilitated transport membranes and mixed matrix membranes. The main strengths and weaknesses of the different membrane types will be discussed, subdividing them into supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), poly(ionic liquids) or polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), polymer/ionic liquid blends (physically or chemically cross-linked 'ion-gels'), and PIL/IL blends. Since membrane processes are advancing as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional separation processes, having shown promising results for complex new separation challenges like carbon capture as well, they may be the key to developing a more sustainable future society. In this light, this review presents the state-of-the-art of ionic liquid membranes, to analyze their potential in the gas separation processes of the future.

Abstract
This work investigates the performance and structure of polyamide thin film nanocomposite (PA-TFN) membrane incorporated with triethylenetetramine-modified graphene oxide (GO-TETA). The embedment of GO-TETA nanosheets within the structure of PA-TFN membrane was evaluated at different concentrations (0.005, 0.01, 0.03 wt%; in aqueous piperazine (PIP)) through interfacial polymerization (IP). The physicochemical properties of the prepared membrane were investigated by SEM, AFM, water contact angle, and zeta potential as well as ATR-IR spectroscopy. The presence of longer chains of amino groups (in comparison with the directly linked amino ones) among the stacked GO nanosheets was assumed to increase interlayer spacing, resulting in remarkable changes in water permeance and separation behavior of modified polyamide (PA) membrane. It is seen that GO-TETA nanosheets were uniformly distributed in the matrix of PA layer. With increasing the concentration of GO-TETA, the flux of TFN membranes under 6 bar was increased from 49.8 l/m2 h (no additive) to 73.2 l/m2 h (TFN comprising 0.03 wt% GO-TETA. In addition, more loading GO-TETA resulted in a significant decrease in the average thickness of the polyamide layer from ~380 to ~150 nm. Furthermore, addition of GO-TETA improved the hydrophilicity of nanocomposite membranes, resulting in superb water flux recovery (antifouling indicator) as high as 95% after filtration of bovine serum albumin solution. Also, the retention capability of the TFN membranes towards some textile dyes increased as high as 99.6%.

Abstract
Surface modification offers a straightforward means to alter and enhance the properties and performance of materials, such as nanofiltration membranes for water softening. Herein, we demonstrate how a membrane's surface charge can be altered by grafting different electrostatically varying copolymers onto commercial membrane surfaces using perfluorophenylazide (PFPA) photochemistry for enhanced ion separation performance. The native membrane's performance-i.e., in terms of divalent cation separation-with copolymer coatings containing a positively charged quaternary ammonium (-N(Me)3+), a negatively charged sulfonate (-SO3-), and an essentially neutral zwitterion (sulfobetaine, -N(Me)2R2+, and -SO3-), respectively, indicates that: (a) the sulfonated polymer induces robust Coulombic exclusion of divalent anions as compared to the negatively charged native membrane surface on account of its higher negative charge; (b) the positively charged ammonium coating induces exclusion of cations more effectively than the native membrane; and significantly, (c) the zwitterion polymer coating, which reduces the surface roughness and improves wettability, in spite of its near-neutral charge enhances exclusion of both divalent cations and anions on account of aperture sieving by the compact zwitterion polymer that arises from its ability to limit the size of ions that transport through the polymer along with dielectric exclusion. The outcomes thereby inform new pathways to achieve size- and charge-based exclusion of ionic, molecular, and other species contained in liquid streams.

Abstract
The study of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is receiving increasing attention worldwide because of their contribution to human health. Developing an effective and sustainable method for screening TCMs is highly desired to accelerate the modernization of TCMs. In this work, we report a neutrally charged membrane made of a positively charged polyelectrolyte electrostatically assembled on a negatively charged superhydrophilic nanoporous membrane. The composite membrane possesses stable electroneutrality in a wide pH range and can precisely and nonselectively separate various charged molecules in TCMs with a transmittance higher than 90% for molecules with molecular weight (Mw) < 400 and a high rejection of 90% for molecules with Mw > 800. In addition, the membrane exhibits a superior antifouling performance, and the recovery ratio observed during a continuous cycling test of a simulated TCM solution was more than 93%. The combination of superhydrophilicity and electroneutrality in a nanoporous membrane provides a new route for designing nanofiltration membranes for highly efficient molecule separation and is promising for screening TCMs.

Abstract
The oil and bacteria adhesion during membrane separation process brings great challenges to the operation costs and membrane service life. Meantime, the strong chemical corrosion in sewage seriously limits the durability of membrane as well. Herein, a facile strategy is developed for fabricating highly stable and efficient zwitterionic nanofibrous membrane (NFM) with self-cleaning feature via the combination of in-situ cross-linking of poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) and electrospun poly (ether sulfone) (PES) nanofibers. Owing to the introduction of zwitterionic functional groups, the PSBMA/PES NFM exhibits superior antifouling ability (over 3 cycles of crude oil fouling/self-cleaning and up to 7 days of bacteria adhesion/repelling tests). Moreover, the membrane also presents remarkable chemical stability in acidic, alkaline and salty environments; and exhibits excellent separation performance for both layered oil/water mixture and oil-in-water emulsion as well. Furthermore, the membrane is capable to remove bacteria during the continuous oil/water mixture separation. Overall, the proposed strategy provides a new perspective into developing long-term antifouling membrane materials for complicated oily wastewater remediation in various corrosive environments.

Abstract
A highly anti-oil fabric membrane is synthesized by surface grafting of zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) onto the fabric surface. The fabric membrane is first enzymatically modified to create more reactive amine groups on the surface. A surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) reaction is then performed to modify the fabric membrane surface with a dense PSBMA brush layer. Surface characterization indicates that the brush-grafted fabric membrane exhibits increased surface roughness and improved superhydrophilicity. The PSBMA-modified silk fabrics show a very large contact angle for oil droplets in water, and have excellent oil resistance in air and in water-oil mixtures.

Abstract
Loose nanofiltration (NF) membranes with diverse selectivity can meet the great demands in various bioseparation applications. Thus, a facile strategy to tune the properties such as pore size, surface charge, and hydrophilicity of the NF membrane is required to produce tailor-made loose NF membranes without changing the existing production line. Herein, we systematically investigated the post-treatment of the nascent poly(piperazine amide) NF membranes using different reagents (organic acids, weak bases, organic solvents and ionic liquid (IL)). Various characterizations revealed that the skin/separation layer became looser and permeance was promoted with the decrease of salt rejection in varying degrees. It was found that the O/N ratio did not rigorously represent the cross-linking degree of the skin layer, because besides the hydrolysis of the residual acyl chloride impeding the amido bond formation, the breaking of existing amido bonds and the grafting of free trimesoyl chloride molecules on the nascent membranes could also increase the O/N ratio during post-treatments. Then three mechanisms including hydrolysis, swelling rearrangement and capping reaction effects were proposed to better understand the membrane properties variations. All these effects resulted in larger pore size of the NF membrane, and the hydrolysis/capping effect might increase negative charge and hydrophilicity on the membrane, while the swelling rearrangement could produce less defective skin structure. These three effects might be involved together during a single treatment. Finally, the NF membrane post-treated by N-hexane could efficiently separate antibiotics and NaCl with the highest permeate flux, whereas the one post-treated by ionic liquid outperformed others for the decoloration of cane molasses (much more efficient than NF270, DL, and NTR7450 membranes). The long-term operating stability of the post-treated membranes selected was also confirmed by a continuous crossflow filtration for 15 h with regular alkaline cleaning.

Abstract
Biomembranes play a crucial role in a multitude of biological processes, where high selectivity and efficiency are key points in the reaction course. The outstanding performance of biological membranes is based on the coupling between the membrane and biomolecules, such as membrane proteins. Polymer-based membranes and assemblies represent a great alternative to lipid ones, as their presence not only dramatically increases the mechanical stability of such systems, but also opens the scope to a broad range of chemical functionalities, which can be fine-tuned to selectively combine with a specific biomolecule. Tethering the membranes or nanoassemblies on a solid support opens the way to a class of functional surfaces finding application as sensors, biocomputing systems, molecular recognition, and filtration membranes. Herein, the design, physical assembly, and biomolecule attachment/insertion on/within solid-supported polymeric membranes and nanoassemblies are presented in detail with relevant examples. Furthermore, the models and applications for these materials are highlighted with the recent advances in each field.

Abstract
The antifouling process of the membrane is very vital for the highly efficient treatment of industrial wastewater, especially high salinity wastewater containing oil and other pollutants. In the present work, the dynamical antifouling mechanism is explored via molecular dynamics simulations, while the corresponding experiments about surface properties of the zwitterionic monomer-grafted polyvinylidene difluoride membrane are designed to verify the simulated mechanism. Water can form a stable hydration layer at the grafted membrane surface, where all the simulated radial distribution function of water/membrane, hydrogen bond number, water diffusivity, and experimental oil contact angles are stable. However, the water flux across the membrane will increase first and then decrease as the grafting ratio increases, which not only depends on the reduced pore size of the zwitterionic monomer-grafted membrane but also results from water diffusion. Furthermore, the dynamical fouling processes of pollutants (taking sodium alginate as an example) on the grafted membrane in water and brine solution are investigated, where both the high grafting ratio and electrolyte CaCl2 can enhance the fouling energy barrier of the pollutant. The results show that both the enhanced hydrophilic property and the electrostatic repulsion can affect the antifouling capability of the grafted membrane. Finally, the ternary synergistic antifouling mechanisms among the zwitterionic membrane, electrolyte, and pollutant sodium alginates are discussed, which could be helpful for the rational design and preparation of new and highly efficient zwitterionic antifouling membranes.
