A new strategy is proposed to enhance the performance of hybrid organosilica membranes by in situ carboxyl functionalization. The introduced carboxyl functionalities result in a compact pore structure and improved water affinity, leading to an increased membrane permeability without compromising water/salt selectivity in reverse osmosis. The carboxyl functionalized organosilica membrane also demonstrates high durability during continuous reverse osmosis desalination, showing great potential for environmental and industrial applications as an efficient and robust molecular separation membrane.
A new strategy is proposed to tune the surface and structural properties of hybrid organosilica membranes. It involves an in situ carboxyl functionalization via the thiol-ene click reaction between the double bonds of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethylene and mercaptosuccinic acid. Water sorption measurements and quantum chemical calculations confirm that the introduction of carboxyl functionalities into the organosilica networks leads to a compact pore structure and an improved affinity for water molecules. Compared to the original ethenylene-bridged organosilica membranes, the in situ carboxyl functionalization doubles the membrane permeability without any drop in water/salt selectivity in reverse osmosis (RO). Furthermore, the carboxyl functionalized organosilica membrane demonstrates high durability during a continuous RO desalination process of 200 h, showing excellent prospects as a high efficiency and robust molecular separation membrane for environmental and industrial applications.
