Summary: This study proposes a novel strategy that combines membrane separation with in situ electrocoagulation for efficient separation of oil-in-water emulsion. A nickel functionalized fabric membrane is prepared through a low-cost and facile route, exhibiting high permeate flux, separation efficiencies, and stability. The coupled electrocoagulation-membrane separation system achieved high rejection and flux for oil/water emulsion separation. This study reveals the promising technique of the proposed system for oil/water separation.

Summary: Thin Pd membranes with a thickness of about 2 μm were prepared by a two-step electroless plating method on porous ceramic supports. The membranes exhibited stable and high hydrogen permeation flux and selectivity under different operating conditions. The effect of gas mixtures on the hydrogen permeation flux was studied, and the membranes also showed good resistance to attrition.

Summary: Fabricating textured substrate surfaces is an effective way to improve adhesion at a coating-substrate interface. In this study, the RUVT technique was proposed for the fabrication of complex micro-textures on substrate surfaces, enhancing the bonding properties of the prepared coatings through mechanical anchoring and substrate surface wettability. The technique is convenient, controllable, and minimizes the risk of thermal damage, making it a promising method for further exploration in improving coating adhesion.

Summary: Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is widely used in industries such as automobiles, aerospace transportation, and astronautics due to its high stiffness and light weight. Coating CFRP with metals improves its water-resistance, durability, and electric conductivity while providing a metallic appearance. Surface pretreatment is necessary to enhance the adhesive properties between CFRP and metals. In this study, oxygen-containing functional groups were introduced onto CFRP surface using eco-friendly photo-oxidation with photo-activated ClO2· radicals. The hydrophilicity and adhesion strength to metals were successfully improved, as confirmed by water contact angle measurement, IR and XPS analysis, and SEM observations. Electroless plating of nickel and copper on both untreated and oxidized CFRP demonstrated enhanced adhesion properties.

Summary: The electroless plating and electrodeposition process was used to prepare a Ni-Cu-P bilayer composite film with hydrophobic properties on the Ni-P film. The introduction of Cu inhibits the growth of cellular structures, increases nucleation points, and improves the microstructure of the Ni-Cu-P films. The Ni-P/Ni-Cu-P bilayer composite film has a pinecone-like convex structure, reduces surface energy, exhibits hydrophobicity, and effectively resists external impurities and fouling, improving corrosion resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the use of TiO2-based particles as an intermediate layer for the fabrication of fully dense Pd membranes by Electroless Pore Plating. The results show that doping the ceramic particles with Pd nuclei prior to incorporation onto the porous support can reduce the Pd thickness and improve mechanical stability. However, some palladium penetration is observed in the porous structure, which affects the H-2 permeance.
