Novel PTFE/PI Nanofibrous Composite Membranes Enabling High‐Flux Desalination and Durable Anti‐Scaling in Membrane Distillation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration comparing the MD performance of pure PTFE NFMs and PTFE/PI NFMs. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are widely recognized for their low surface energy and strong resistance to salt accumulation in membrane distillation (MD) processes.

Novel Zwitterionic Polydopamine Nanofiller‐Reinforced Hybrid Membranes With Superior Antifouling Performance for Wastewater Treatment

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work reports one‐pot synthesized novel zwitterionic polydopamine‐silica (ZSiPDA) nanofillers for fabricating PES hybrid ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling performance. The optimized membrane achieved over 91% humic acid removal and showed strong potential for municipal wastewater treatment.
