Membrane desalination is a promising technology for addressing the global challenge of
water scarcity by augmenting fresh water supply. Continuous progress in this technology …

Empirical discovery, four decades ago, of polyamide membranes made by interfacial
polymerization revolutionized large-scale desalination and has made desalinated water …

State-of-the-art desalination membranes exhibit high water-salt selectivity, but their ability to
discriminate between ions is limited. Elucidating the fundamental mechanisms underlying …

The transport of hydrated ions across nanochannels is central to biological systems and
membrane-based applications, yet little is known about their hydrated structure during …

Mono-/multivalent ion-selective separation has become a common requirement at the water-
energy nexus, including energy storage and conversion, water purification, and sustainable …

The main objective of this study is to examine how the charge densities of four monovalent
anions—fluoride (F–), chloride (Cl–), bromide (Br–), and nitrate (NO3–)—influence their …

Escalating global water scarcity necessitates high-performance desalination membranes, for
which fundamental understanding of structure–property–performance relationships is …

We demonstrate the fabrication of a loose, negatively charged nanofiltration (NF) membrane
with tailored selectivity for the removal of perfluoroalkyl substances with reduced scaling …

We explored the mechanisms governing the selectivity of anion-and cation-exchange
membranes for the transport of four monovalent anions (ie, fluoride, chloride, bromide, and …

The permeance and selectivity of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane are governed by its
ultrathin polyamide film, yet the growth of this critical film during interfacial polymerization …
