Preparation of advanced reverse osmosis membrane by a wettability-transformable interlayer combining with N-acyl imidazole chemistry

Chi Jiang et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel interlayer with transformable wettability and the ability to release placeholder agents was designed for the fabrication of highly permeable RO membranes. The interlayer provided an unstable hydrophobic surface for interfacial polymerization, facilitating the formation of a rough separation layer with interior nanovoids. It could then transform into a hydrophilic gutter layer through simple water immersion, further enhancing the overall transport efficiency of the membrane. Additionally, the interlayer could release specific components in-situ to participate in the reaction, influencing the properties of the membrane materials.
