Highly permeable polyamide (PA) membrane capable of precise ionic sieving can be utilized for many energy-efficient chemical separations. To fulfill this target, it is crucial to innovate membrane-forming process induce a narrow pore-size distribution. Herein, we report an anhydrous interfacial polymerization (AIP) at solid-liquid interface where the amine layer sublimated in direct contact with alkane containing acyl chlorides. In such heterophase interface, water-caused side reactions are eliminated, and amines compact arrangement enable intensive orderly IP reaction, leading unique PA accuracy 0.5 Å. The AIP-PA demonstrates excellent separation selectivities monovalent divalent cations as Mg2+/Li+ (78.3) anions Cl-/SO42- (29.2) together high water flux up 13.6 L m-2 h-1 bar-1.

Abstract Ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) are utilized in numerous established, emergent, and emerging applications for water, energy, the environment. This article reviews five different types of IEM selectivity, namely charge, valence, specific ion, ion/solvent, ion/uncharged solute selectivities. Technological pathways to advance selectivities through sorption migration mechanisms transport critically analyzed. Because underlying principles governing transport, efforts enhance selectivity by tuning membrane structural chemical properties almost always accompanied a concomitant decline permeability desired ion. Suppressing undesired crossover solvent neutral species is crucial realize practical implementation several technologies, including bioelectrochemical systems, hypersaline electrodialysis desalination, fuel cells, redox flow batteries, but ion/solvent relatively understudied, compared ion/ion Deepening fundamental understanding phenomena, specifically factors underpinning structure-property-performance relationships, will be vital guide informed development more selective IEMs. Innovations material design offer opportunities utilize ion discrimination that radically from conventional IEMs potentially depart putative permeability-selectivity tradeoff.
