Polymeric membranes, including Polysulfone (PSf) membranes, are routinely used for water treatment. It is known for quite some time that water permeability of above membranes can be improved if one incorporates carbon nanotubes (single-walled, SWCNTs or multi-walled, MWCNTs) in to the membrane and aligns them in direction of flow of water. This paper reports a method of synthesizing polymeric membranes having vertically aligned hollow CNTs embedded in them. This involves mixing of nanomagnetic particles in the dope solution and casting of membrane in presence of moderate magnetic fields. A semi-automatic membrane casting machine which allows casting of membrane in presence magnetic field was designed and fabricated. PSf nanocomposite membranes, having vertically aligned MWCNTSs, were synthesized using above machine. The effect of magnetic field and the exposure time on the water permeation of above membranes was studied. It was seen that water permeability of membrane increases by a factor of 4 when the magnetic field is increased from 0 to 1500 Gauss. There was additional 40% increase in water permeability, when the time for which film was exposed to magnetic field was increased from 5 sec. to 10 sec.
Water transport through graphene-derived membranes has gained much interest recently due to its promising potential in filtration and separation applications. In this work, we explore water permeation in graphene oxide membranes using atomistic simul
High stability and oxygen permeability are two prominent requirements for the oxygen transport membrane candidates used as industrialization. Herein, we report several composite membranes based on xwt.%Ce0.9Pr0.1O2(CPO)-(100-x)wt.%Pr0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Al0.
Battery-like supercapacitors feature high power and energy densities as well as long-term capacitance retention. The utilized capacitor electrodes are thus better to have large surface areas, high conductivity, high stability, and importantly be of b
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes continue to attract intense interest due to their unique molecular sieving properties combined with fast permeation rates. However, the membranes use has been limited mostly to aqueous solutions because GO membranes appe
Developing smart membranes that allow precise and reversible control of molecular permeation using external stimuli would be of intense interest for many areas of science: from physics and chemistry to life-sciences. In particular, electrical control
