    Abstract: The invention, belonging to the field of membrane technology, presents a method for the direct growth of ultrathin porous graphene separation membranes. Etching agent, organic solvent and polymer are coated on metal foil, and then they are calcined at high temperature in absence of oxygen; after removal of metal substrate and reaction products, single-layered or multi-layered porous graphene membranes are obtained. Alternatively, the dispersion or solution of etching agent is coated on metal foil, on which a polymer film is then overlaid. The obtained sample is subsequently calcined at high temperature in absence of oxygen; after removal of metal substrate and reaction products, single-layered or multi-layered porous graphene membranes are obtained. The method involved in this invention is simple and highly efficient, and allows direct growth of ultrathin porous graphene separation membranes, without needing expensive apparatuses, chemicals and graphene raw material. Additionally, the graphene membranes prepared with this method have controlled pore size, ultrahigh water flux and strong resistance to irreversible fouling.

    Abstract: In an anode and cathode synergistic electrocatalytic system for wastewater treatment and an application, an electrode having a “dual function” is used as a cathode. The cathode and an anode are sequentially arranged in a crisscrossed and parallel mode and fixed into an electrode group. The electrode group is paced in a reaction tank which has an aeration device at the bottom thereof, separately connecting the cathode and the anode of the electrode group to a power supply. Electrocatalytic degradation is performed on wastewater. In the electrocatalytic degradation process, a synergistic electrocatalytic degradation effect of the anode and the cathode is achieved by the mutual coordination of heterogeneous electro-fenton of the cathode and oxidation of the anode. The cathode ad anode synergistic electrocatalytic process has a good wastewater treatment effect, high current efficiency, low energy consumption, and low operation and maintenance costs.

    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of membranes and provides a carbon nanotube/nanofiber conductive composite membrane and a preparation method thereof. The conductive membrane with a meshy pore structure intertwined by one-dimensional nano materials is constructed by taking one-dimensional nanofiber nonwovens prepared by electrospinning as a support layer and CNTs cross linked on the support layer as a separation layer. The membrane pore size of the composite membrane involved can be controlled from microfiltration to ultrafiltration, and membrane morphology includes flat membranes, hollow fiber membranes, and spiral-wound membranes. The main advantages and beneficial effects of the composite membrane involved are: simple preparation steps, better permeability and mechanical strength, good hydrophilicity and electrical conductivity, and easy mass production and application.

    Abstract: A method for preparation of conductive polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane and the use thereof. This conductive polymer/CNT composite NF membrane is obtained by polymerizing conductive polymer into a CNT membrane and then in-situ cross-linking with glutaraldehyde under acidic condition. The synthetic method for the conductive polymer/CNT composite NF membrane is simple and has no need of expensive equipment. The prepared membrane has controllable membrane structure and possesses superior electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability. The membrane can couple with electrochemistry for electrically assisted filtration. With the electrical assistance, the membrane can achieve improved ion rejection performance while retaining high permeability by enhancement of membrane surface charge density, which alleviates the permeability-selectivity trade-off. Furthermore, the electrically assisted NF membrane filtration can also enhance the removal for small molecular organic pollutants.

    Abstract: The invention, belonging to the field of membrane technology, presents a method for the high-throughput preparation of carbon nanotube hollow fiber membranes. This method contains three major steps. Firstly, the pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are added into a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, which is then heated at 40˜80° C. for 0.5˜6 hours. Secondly, the surface-functionalized CNTs and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) are dispersed and dissolved, respectively, in organic solvents at a mass ratio of 1:0.2˜1:4˜8 to form homogeneous spinning solution, which is squeezed into water as shell liquid with water as core liquid at a flow rate ratios of 0.5˜5:1 through a spinneret to form CNT/PVB hollow fibers. Finally, the dry fibers are calcinated at 600˜1000 ° C. for 1˜4 hours in absence of oxygen to produce free-standing CNT hollow fiber membranes. The method involved in this invention is simple and highly efficient without needing any templates, expensive apparatuses and chemicals. Additionally, the obtained electrically conductive CNT hollow fiber membranes feature a high porosity, high water flux and strong acid/alkali resistance.
