High-Performance Thin-Film Composite Membrane with an Ultrathin Spray-Coated Carbon Nanotube Interlayer
Abstract
We fabricated a thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane with an ultrathin spray-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) interlayer. The impact of the CNT interlayer on the polyamide (PA) layer structural properties and transport behavior in FO were investigated. Results indicate that the CNT interlayer provides an interface which enables the formation of a highly permeable and selective PA layer with a large effective surface area for water transport, while inhibiting the formation of a flower-like PA structure inside the substrate pores. The TFC-FO membrane with the CNT interlayer exhibited a much greater water flux than previously reported for FO membranes, while maintaining comparable salt rejection. Specifically, a membrane perm-selectivity or ratio of water ( A ) to salt permeability coefficients ( B ) ( A / B value) of 39 bar –1 was achieved for the TFC-PA-CNT membrane. Implications of the results for the fabrication of high-performance TFC-FO membranes are further discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
