It was tested in a single gas permeation system for hydrogen permeance and hydrogen selectivity over mtrogen. The hydrogen permeance of the corresponding membrane was ashigh as 2.45×10^-6mol·m^-2·s^-1.Pa^-1 and H2/N2 selectivityover700 at 623K and a pressure difference of 0.1MPa. The-main resistance of the composite membrane to H2 permeation lies in the aluminum ceramic support rather than the thin Pd layer.展开更多

The fermentation effluent from a wine factory was treated with the resulting NOCC/polysulfone (PSF) composite NF membranes. The permeate flux and the removal efficiencies of the resulting NF membranes for the color, chemical oxygen demand (CODcr), total organic carbon (TOC), and conductivity of the fermentation effluent were investigated in relation to the driving pressure, the feed flow, and the operation time. The permeate flux and the removal efficiencies were found to increase with the increase of the driving pressure or the feed flow. At 0.40 MPa and ambient temperature the removal efficiencies were 95.5%, 70.7%, 72.6%, and 31.6% for color, CODcr, TOC, and conductivity, respectively. The membrane was found to be stable over a 10-h ooeration for the fermentation effluent treatment.展开更多

Using SEM and thermogravimetric analysis to measure the microstructure and properties of the asphaltene component allowed the porosity, permeability, and retention ratios to be determined. The results show that the asphaltene component can be regarded as a good carbon membrane precursor material because of its high carbon content and strong bonding capacity. When ceramic supports are impregnated with asphaltene colloid the asphaltene easily combines with the support surface and forms a good carbonaceous film after carbonization. Little of the asphaltene component permeates into the internal pores of the ceramic support. Although the number of coats applied to the substrate had little affect on the porosity of the asphaltene-ceramic composite membranes the permeability varied depend- ing upon the number of times the substrate was treated. The way bubbles escape from the film, and the phenomenon of coalescence, as affected by different film thicknesses also seem closely related to the number of coats. A composite membrane carbonized at a final temperature of 600℃ is relatively dense and the permeability of Fe(OH)3 colloid through it is very low. A membrane fired at 800℃ is porous and its permeability and retention of Fe(OH)3 colloid are 88 L/(m2 h MPa) and 85.3%, respectively when the trans-membrane pressure is 0.22 MPa.展开更多

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT1R) spectroscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm that poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) had been successfully grafted onto the surface of the MWNTs. The effects of experimental parameters on the degree of graft- ing (DG) of PVAc were also investigated, including adsorbed dose, dose rate, initial monomer concentration, and solvents. The grafted MWNTs (MWNTs-g-PVAc) exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents at high mass fraction. In addition, a superhydrophobic composite membrane could be readily fabricated by vacuum filtration of MWNTs-g-PVAc onto a support- ing membrane, as was confirmed by water contact angle testing and visualization by scanning electron microscopy.展开更多

However, improving their electrochemical performance from electrode materials to assembled devices still remains huge challenges.Here, we for the first time synthesized two-dimensional(2D),ultrathin, mesoporous polypyrrole-based graphene nanosheets uniformly anchored with redox polyoxometalate(mPPy@rGO-POM) by soft template approach. Further, using a layer-by-layer deposition and mask-assisted technique, the compactly stacked and sandwich-like hybrid film(mPGM)based on pseudocapacitive mPPy@rGO-POM nano sheets and electrochemically exfoliated graphene was directly fabricated as binder-and additive-free interdigital electrodes for all-solid-state planar micro-supercapacitors(mPGM-MSCs). Notably, the resulted mPGM-MSCs exhibited outstanding areal capacitance(115 mF cm^-2), remarkably enhanced volumetric capacitance(137 F cm^-3 at 1 mV s^-1) in comparison with MSCs based on the films of mPPy@rGO without POM anchoring(95 F cm^-3), and non-porous polypyrrole-graphene(68 F cm^-3).Further, mPGM-MSCs disclosed robust mechanical flexibility with ~96% of capacitance retention at a highly bending angle of 180°, and impressive parallel or serial interconnection for boosting capacitance or voltage output. As a consequence, our proposed strategy of filling the redox species into mesoporous graphene and other 2D nanosheets will open up new ways to manufacture high-compact and flexible energy storage devices ranging from supercapacitors to batteries.展开更多

Relative to Pt counter electrode, the Cu2S counter electrode provides greater electrocatalytic activity and lower charge transfer resistance. The pre- pared CuzS counter electrode represented nanoflower-like porous film which was composed of Cu2S nanosheets on FTO and had a higher surface area and lower sheet resistance than that of sulfided brass Cu2S counter electrode. An energy conversion efficiency of 3.62% was achieved using the metal chalcogenide complex-mediated fabricated Cu2S counter electrode for CdS/CdSe co-sensitized solar cells under 1 sun, AM 1.5 illumination.展开更多

PVA-glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-type I collagen (COL) composite membrane was fabricated by PVA with different molecular weight (Mw) and alcoholysis degree (AD) being blended with certain amounts of GAG and COL and dried at 38~C for 24 h. The water content of the composite membranes were from 61.9% to 95.1% and swelling ratio ranged from 123.6% to 621.7%. Scanning electron micro- scope (SEM) analysis proved that PVA-GAG-COL composite membrane has porous and homogenous structure. Biocompatibility test results showed that the composite membrane was nontoxic, which could promote adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts on the com- posite membrane. In conclusion, PVA-GAG-COL composite membrane with high water content and swelling ratio, suitable mechanical strength and good biocompatibility, has potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.展开更多

文摘Asphaltene-ceramic composite membranes were fabricated from ceramic supports and an asphaltene component, which was obtained from the separation of coal to give a kind of new carbonaceous precursor material. Using SEM and thermogravimetric analysis to measure the microstructure and properties of the asphaltene component allowed the porosity, permeability, and retention ratios to be determined. The results show that the asphaltene component can be regarded as a good carbon membrane precursor material because of its high carbon content and strong bonding capacity. When ceramic supports are impregnated with asphaltene colloid the asphaltene easily combines with the support surface and forms a good carbonaceous film after carbonization. Little of the asphaltene component permeates into the internal pores of the ceramic support. Although the number of coats applied to the substrate had little affect on the porosity of the asphaltene-ceramic composite membranes the permeability varied depend- ing upon the number of times the substrate was treated. The way bubbles escape from the film, and the phenomenon of coalescence, as affected by different film thicknesses also seem closely related to the number of coats. A composite membrane carbonized at a final temperature of 600℃ is relatively dense and the permeability of Fe(OH)3 colloid through it is very low. A membrane fired at 800℃ is porous and its permeability and retention of Fe(OH)3 colloid are 88 L/(m2 h MPa) and 85.3%, respectively when the trans-membrane pressure is 0.22 MPa.
