In this work, annular supramolecular cucurbit [6] uril (CB6) and dendritic polyamidoamine
(PAMAM) were employed to construct high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes via …

A major challenge of the osmotic microbial fuel cell (OsMFC) application is the sluggish
proton transport from anode to cathode. As a result, an extra overpotential is caused by the …

Membrane fouling is the major obstacle to hinder the extensive application of polyamide thin-
film composite reverse osmosis (PA TFC RO) membranes in the water purification and …

In this study, polysulfone-graft-poly (2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)(PSf-g-PDMA) as a
pH-responsive graft copolymer was synthesized for the first time via a combination of click …

In this work, we fabricated a sandwich-like single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)-
coated support for the preparation of high-performance antifouling thin-film composite (TFC) …

The efficiency of the hemodialysis membrane has been widely improved by blending small
molecular additives and modifying the membrane surface for patients with chronic or acute …
