Abstract
Zwitterionic membranes demonstrate excellent antifouling property in water purification. The covalent organic frameworks (COFs), due to the ordered channels and abundant organic functional groups, have distinct superiority in constructing zwitterionic surfaces.Here, the zwitterionic COF membrane is prepared with precise framework structures and uniform charge distribution. The negatively charged 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl-2,2'-sisulphonic acid sodium (SA) and positively charged ethidium bromide (EB) fragments are used to react with 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) at the gas-liquid interface to prepare zwitterionic COF membrane. The complementary charged fragments in the inter-layer and inner-layer facilitate the formation of continuous and tight hydration layer on the membrane surface and pore walls to resist the adsorption of pollutants. The zwitterionic COF membrane effectively resists both negatively charged bovine serum albumin and positively charged lysozyme pollutants with flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 97% and 85%, respectively. Furthermore, the regular nano-channels and balanced interactions between water and surface/pore walls of the zwitterionic membrane result in outstanding permeability of up to 146 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and excellent dye/salt separation selectivity. The water permeation and antifouling mechanism of membranes are elucidated by experimental and molecular dynamics calculation. Zwitterionic COF membranes can find promising applications in preparing high-performance antifouling membranes.

Abstract
Thin film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes have been widely applied for environmental applications, such as desalination and water reuse. The separation performance of TFC polyamide membranes strongly depends on their nanovoid-containing roughness morphology. These nanovoids not only influence the effective filtration area of the polyamide film but also regulate the water transport pathways through the film. Although there have been ongoing debates on the formation mechanisms of nanovoids, a nanofoaming theory─stipulating the shaping of polyamide roughness morphology by nanobubbles of degassed CO2 and the vapor of volatile solvents─has gained much attention in recent years. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the nanofoaming mechanism, including related fundamental principles and strategies to tailor nanovoid formation for improved membrane separation performance. The effects of nanovoids on the fouling behaviors of TFC membranes are also discussed. In addition, numerical models on the role of nanovoids in regulating the water transport pathways toward improved water permeance and antifouling ability are highlighted. The comprehensive summary on the nanofoaming mechanism in this review provides insightful guidelines for the future design and optimization of TFC polyamide membranes toward various environmental applications.

Abstract
Bubble drainage (BD) occurs in various natural phenomena and industrial activities, in which bubbles rise toward the water surface and create a progressively thinned two-sided liquid film, called a lamella. Surfactant, as an important regulator in the BD process, not only assembles on both sides of the lamellae, generating a configuration of lamellae sandwiched by monolayers of surfactants (lamellae/MS), but also induces interfacial deformation by lowering interfacial tension. Herein, we developed a strategy of BD assisted interfacial polymerization for the fabrication of polyamide (PA) membranes. The regulated interfacial deformation at the water-oil interface produced a membrane with crater-like structures, which greatly increased the surface area of the PA membrane. Moreover, the lamellae/MS configuration served as a reservoir to spontaneously enrich amine monomers and thus modulate the diffusion-reaction kinetics. The resulting PA membranes exhibited superior separation performance with a water permeance of 44.7 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and a Na2SO4 rejection of 99.2%.

Abstract
Membrane-based separation is one of the most energy-efficient methods to meet the growing need for a significant amount of fresh water. It is also well-known for its applications in water treatment, desalination, solvent recycling, and environmental remediation. Most typical membranes used for separation-based applications are thin-film composite membranes created using polymers, featuring a top selective layer generated by employing the interfacial polymerization technique at an aqueous-organic interface. In the last decade, various manufacturing techniques have been developed in order to create high-specification membranes. Among them, the creation of ultrathin polyamide membranes has shown enormous potential for achieving a significant increase in the water permeation rate, translating into major energy savings in various applications. However, this great potential of ultrathin membranes is greatly hindered by undesired transport phenomena such as the geometry-induced "funnel effect" arising from the substrate membrane, severely limiting the actual permeation rate. As a result, the separation capability of ultrathin membranes is still not fully unleashed or understood, and a critical assessment of their limitations and potential solutions for future studies is still lacking. Here, we provide a summary of the latest developments in the design of ultrathin polyamide membranes, which have been achieved by controlling the interfacial polymerization process and utilizing a number of novel manufacturing processes for ionic and molecular separations. Next, an overview of the in-depth assessment of their limitations resulting from the substrate membrane, along with potential solutions and future perspectives will be covered in this review.

Abstract
A novel type of water- and nutrient-retaining fertilizer (WNRF) was prepared by mixing, melting, and extruding high-energy electron-beam (HEEB)-irradiated corn straw, urea, and starch. HEEB irradiation technique effectively killed pathogenic microorganisms in straw and further improved the adsorption and binding capacity of straw to urea and water. Compared to nonirradiated HEEB samples, the optimal WNRF improved the water retention rate by 25.63%, the migrate-to-surface loss control rate by 60.2%, and the leaching loss control rate by 34.71%, respectively. Thus, it effectively facilitated the growth of pak choi with a 24% increase in the dry matter weight of the shoot. This work provides a promising approach to improve water and nutrient availability in arid and semi-arid regions and to promote the efficient utilization of straw resources.

Abstract
The synthesis of optimized thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane with no or few defects is an efficacious method which can improve nanofiltration performance. However, poor dispersion of fillers in the organic phase and wrong compatibility between fillers and polymerizate are still a serious problem. In this study, the particle size of metal organic framework (MOF), aluminum-based metal-organic frameworks (CAU-1) was modulated and for the first time, dodecyl aldehyde was used to modify the surface hydrophobicity of CAU-1, which improved the dispersibility and inhibited the aggregation in the trimesoyl chloride (TMC)/n-hexane solution; later CAU-1 and modified CAU-1 were incorporated into the polyamide (PA) selective layer to synthesize TFN membrane by interfacial polymerization (IP). The particle size modulation and modification of the CAU-1 were demonstrated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) characterization. The characterization showed that PA selective layer was synthesized on the top layer of polysulfone (PSF) substrate. The pure water flux of the TFN membrane was increased to 79.89 ± 1.24 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 compared to the original thin film composite (TFC) membrane, which was due to the polymerization of 100 nm modified CAU-1 on the PA layer to form a new water molecular channel, thus increasing the water flux by about 70%.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been widely applied in many important environmental applications, including water softening, surface/groundwater purification, wastewater treatment, and water reuse. In recent years, a new class of piperazine (PIP)-based NF membranes featuring a crumpled polyamide layer has received considerable attention because of their great potential for achieving dramatic improvements in membrane separation performance. Since the report of novel crumpled Turing structures that exhibited an order of magnitude enhancement in water permeance ( Science 2018, 360 (6388), 518-521), the number of published research papers on this emerging topic has grown exponentially to approximately 200. In this critical review, we provide a systematic framework to classify the crumpled NF morphologies. The fundamental mechanisms and fabrication methods involved in the formation of these crumpled morphologies are summarized. We then discuss the transport of water and solutes in crumpled NF membranes and how these transport phenomena could simultaneously improve membrane water permeance, selectivity, and antifouling performance. The environmental applications of these emerging NF membranes are highlighted, and future research opportunities/needs are identified. The fundamental insights in this review provide critical guidance on the further development of high-performance NF membranes tailored for a wide range of environmental applications.

Abstract
The interfacial properties within a composite structure of membranes play a vital role in the separation properties and application performances. Building an interlayer can facilitate the formation of a highly selective layer as well as improve the interfacial properties of the composite membrane. However, it is difficult for a nanomaterial-based interlayer to increase the flux and retention of nanofiltration membranes simultaneously. Here, we report a nanofiltration membrane with a hybrid dimensional titania interlayer that exhibits excellent separation performance. The interlayer, composed of Fe-doped titania nanosheets and titania nanoparticles, helps the formation of an ultrathin (∼30 nm thick) and defect-free polyamide selective layer with an ideal nanostructure. The hybrid dimensional interlayer endows the membrane with a superior permeability and alleviates flux decline. In addition, the rigid interlayer framework on a PVDF support drastically improves the pressure resistance of nanofiltration membranes and shows negligible flux loss up to 1.5 MPa of pressure.

Abstract
Tailored design of high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes is desirable because the requirements for membrane performance, particularly ion/salt rejection and selectivity, differ among the various applications of NF technology ranging from drinking water production to resource mining. However, this customization greatly relies on a comprehensive understanding of the influence of membrane fabrication methods and conditions on membrane properties and the relationships between the membrane structural and physicochemical properties and membrane performance. Since the inception of NF, much progress has been made in forming the foundation of tailored design of NF membranes and the underlying governing principles. This progress includes theories regarding NF mass transfer and solute rejection, further exploitation of the classical interfacial polymerization technique, and development of novel materials and membrane fabrication methods. In this critical review, we first summarize the progress made in controllable design of NF membrane properties in recent years from the perspective of optimizing interfacial polymerization techniques and adopting new manufacturing processes and materials. We then discuss the property-performance relationships based on solvent/solute mass transfer theories and mathematical models, and draw conclusions on membrane structural and physicochemical parameter regulation by modifying the fabrication process to improve membrane separation performance. Next, existing and potential applications of these NF membranes in water treatment processes are systematically discussed according to the different separation requirements. Finally, we point out the prospects and challenges of tailored design of NF membranes for water treatment applications. This review bridges the long-existing gaps between the pressing demand for suitable NF membranes from the industrial community and the surge of publications by the scientific community in recent years.

Abstract
With diverse selectivity, higher permeance, and good antifouling property, loose polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membranes can be potentially deployed in various bioseparation applications. However, the loose NF membrane with a low crosslinking degree generally suffers from the alkali-induced pore swelling during chemical cleaning, resulting in degradation of separation performance with time. In this work, we conceive a novel strategy to tailor the separating layer through alkaline post-etching following the interfacial polymerization process, where piperazine and tannic acid (TA) were used as water-phase monomers, and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and ferric acetylacetonate were employed as organic monomers in n-hexane. Thereinto, the polyester network formed by TA and TMC was selectively etched by alkaline treatment, thus obtaining a loose NF membrane, whose structure and performance could be facilely tailored by controlling the TA ratio and the etching pH. As a result, the well-designed loose NF membrane exhibited higher flux, better selectivity, and more stable separation performance in a long-term filtration of diluted cane molasses. Interestingly, the obtained loose NF membrane showed excellent antiswelling ability during alkaline cleaning because of network locking induced by Fe3+ chelation, decrease in the carboxyl proportion (more hydroxyl generation due to the ester bond hydrolysis), and enhanced interface interaction between the separation layer and the sublayer attributed to catechol adhesion effect. Therefore, such a "selective-etching-induced reinforcing" strategy could endow the polyamide NF membrane with both loose and antiswelling separation layer in a reliable and scalable way, which provides a new perspective for preparing highly selective and stable NF membrane for resource recovery.
