Observing the nanoporous structure inside membranes has been one of greatest challenges in membrane research, and many recent studies have employed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, among other methods, to gain structural insights. In this report, we demonstrate significant potential Raman spectroscopy for investigating under situ conditions. Sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) ce...

Nanoporous FeP nanosheets are successfully synthesized via the anion-exchange reaction of inorganic-organic hybrid Fe18S25-TETAH (TETAH = protonated triethylenetetramine) nanosheets with P ions. The as-prepared nanoporous FeP nanosheets exhibit high electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction activity in acidic medium.

One of the barriers during whey filtration using UF membrane is the fouling phenomenon of the membrane, which is caused by whey proteins. In this work, the UF membranes were prepared using polysufone (PSf), dimethyl formamide (DMF), 1 wt.% poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and different concentrations of LiCl via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation. The prepared membranes were charact...

A continuous compact membrane bioreactor consisted of ceramic-supported graphene oxide (CSGoM) was implemented for the first time anaerobic biodecolorization monoazo Acid Orange 7 (AO7), diazo Reactive Black 5 (RB5), and triazo Direct Blue 71 (DB71) solutions, showing excellent decolorization potential. The prepared by vacuum filtration various solutions using a UF ceramic flat element. efficie...

Membrane proteins play vital roles in the life of the cell and are important therapeutic targets. Producing them in large quantities, pure and fully functional is a major challenge. Many promising projects end when intractable aggregates or precipitates form. Here we show how such unfolded aggregates can be solubilized and the solution mixed with lipid to spontaneously self-assemble a bicontinu...
