Abstract
Tea polyphenols (TPs), like green tea polyphenol (GTP) and black tea polyphenol (BTP), with phenolic hydroxyl structures, form coordination and hydrogen bonds, making them effective for bridging inorganic catalysts and membranes. Here, TPs were employed as interface agents for the preparation of TPs-modified needle-clustered NiCo-layered double hydroxide/graphene oxide membranes (NiCo-LDH-TPs/GO). The incorporation of porous guest material, NiCo-LDH-TPs, facilitated water channel expansion, enhancing membrane permeability and resulting in the development of high-performance, sustainable catalytic cleaning membranes. The introduction of TPs through coordination weakened the surface electronegativity of NiCo-LDH, promoting a uniform mixed dispersion with GO and facilitating membrane self-assembly. NiCo-LDH-GTP/GO-5 and NiCo-LDH-BTP/GO-5 membranes demonstrated permeances of 85.98 and 90.76 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, respectively, with rejections of 98.73% and 99.54% for methylene blue (MB). Notably, the NiCo-LDH-BTP/GO-5 membrane maintained a high rejection of 97.11% even after 18 cycles in the catalytic cleaning process. Furthermore, the modification of GTP and BTP enhanced MB degradation through PMS activation, resulting in a 0.33% and 0.35% increase in the reaction rate constants of NiCo-LDH, respectively, while reducing metal ion spillover. These findings highlighted the potential of TPs in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of catalytic cleaning GO membranes for water purification and separation processes.

Abstract
Montmorillonite (MMT) is known as an ion-exchangeable material, and cations between MMT nanosheets are easily exchanged by other cations. In this work, Ca2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ intercalated two-dimensional MMT membranes were developed by ion exchange of pristine MMT membranes (Na+-MMT), and their ion and dye removal abilities were investigated. The d-spacings of hydrated Fe3+ intercalated MMT membrane (Fe3+-MMT) and Al3+ intercalated MMT membrane (Al3+-MMT) were decreased compared with hydrated Na+-MMT membrane due to the stronger electrostatic attraction between Fe3+/Al3+ and negatively charged MMT nanosheets. Ion and dye sieving performances were improved significantly after the intercalation of Ca2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ into MMT membranes. Al3+-MMT membrane with a thickness of 1.17 μm could exclude 94% of Na+, and its ion sieving performance remained stable during a 120-h ion sieving experiment. Moreover, the rejection rate for rhodamine B (RB) reached 94% using an Al3+-MMT membrane with a thickness of 500 nm, and a water permeance of 73 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 was achieved. The excellent ion and dye sieving performances make it promising in the application of desalination and nanofiltration.
