Abstract Current polyamide lithium extraction nanofiltration membranes are susceptible to chlorine degradation and/or low permeance, two problems that hard reconcile. Here we simultaneously circumvented these by designing a quaternized-spiro piperazine monomer and translating its beneficial properties into large-area (1 × 2 m ) via interfacial polymerization with trimesoyl chloride. The quaternary ammonium spiral conformation of the confer more positive charge free volume membrane, leading one highest permeance (~22 L −2 h −1 bar compared state-of-the-art Mg 2+ /Li + membranes. Meanwhile, membrane structures resistant as amine–acyl bonding contains no sensitive N-H group. Thus high performance is stable versus 400-h immersion in sodium hypochlorite, while control degraded readily. Molecular simulations show resistance, which were reproducible at module level, arise from secondary amine monomer.

Abstract Polyester nanofiltration membranes highlight beneficial chlorine resistance, but their loose structures and negative charge result in poor cations retention precluding advanced use separation. This work designs a new monomer (TET) containing “hydroxyl‐ammonium” entities that confer dense positive to polyester membranes. The TET undergoes efficient interfacial polymerization with the trimesoyl chloride (TMC) monomer, resultant TET‐TMC feature one of lowest molecular weight cut‐offs (389 Da) highest zeta potential (4 mv, pH: 7) among all MgCl 2 rejection membrane is 95.5%, significantly higher than state‐of‐the‐art (<50%).

Both the scalability of these engineering membrane modules remain an elusive challenge. Here design a Gemini‐electrolyte monomer (GEM) featuring bidentate amine groups, quaternary ammonia, endocyclic contorted conformation is reported. The monomer's low interfacial diffusivity balanced by high condensational reactivity during its polymerization with trimesoyl chloride (TMC), leading to straightforward formation defect‐free, ≈14 nm thick membranes. shows highest permeance (≈19.2 L m −2 h −1 bar ) among without post‐modification, combined good selectivity (≈15.4) stability. validity GEM verified control monomers.

Abstract A key challenge in efficient molecular separation is fabricating large‐scale, highly selective polymeric membranes with precise pore control at the scale. Herein, a new contorted monomer 6,6′‐dihydroxy‐2,2′‐biphenyldiamine (DHBIPDA) introduced as building block to generate cross‐linked, ultra‐thin microporous nanofilms (sub‐10 nm) via interfacial polymerization, enabling rapid, and nanofiltration. Using diacyl chloride (TPC) cross‐linker instead of trimesoyl (TMC) significantly reduces sizes within achieves narrower distribution due semi‐crystalline structure. The film structures are confirmed using comprehensive characterization techniques including wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), diffraction (XRD), positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), CO 2 adsorption analysis, molecular‐scale simulation. DHBIPDA/TPC DHBIPDA/TMC achieve methanol permeance values up 16.4 15.1 LMH bar −1 coupled weight cutoffs (MWCOs) low 283 306 Da, respectively. membrane demonstrates both higher selectivity compared its relatively disordered counterpart DHBIPDA/TMC, consistent data. DHBIPDA‐derived efficiently separates dye mixtures similar weights enables effective recycling organometallic homogeneous catalysts, suggesting potential for industrial applications.
