In this work, we report a new class of organic–inorganic nanocomposite ion-exchange membranes containing a sulfonated functionalized polymer (sulfonated polyethersulfone) and …
Comprehensive fouling propensity associated with the change of soluble microbial products (SMP), especially the concentration of SMP and the ratio of protein to polysaccharide …
In this work we investigate the potential of a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol-polyethylene glycol, tri-block copolymer as a template for a hybrid carbon/silica membrane …
Ion-exchange membranes consisting of sulfonated polyether sulfone with controllable porosities and structures were prepared via a two-step phase inversion procedure. The porosity …
Via a two-step phase inversion technique, composite membranes with controllable porosity and a significant improvement of electrochemical properties were successfully prepared. The …
Polyethersulfone (PES) was sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid and then used as the polymer matrix for cation-exchange membranes (CEM). The sulfonation reaction was conducted at room …
Nafion–carbon (NC) composite membranes were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of Nafion membrane impregnated with glucose solution. The carbon loading of the NC membrane was tuned …
Fuel cell performance is determined by the complex interplay of mass transport, energy transfer and electrochemical processes. The convolution of these processes leads to spatial …
A new type of composite ion-exchange membrane of sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) and sulfonated mesoporous silica (SS) was synthesized by dispersing inorganic SS nanoparticles …
Organo-functionalized FDU-12 type silicas exhibiting large pore sizes and ordered mesoporous structures were synthesized at low reaction (15 °C) and high hydrothermal (160 °C) …
