For the first time, supercritical ammonia fluid was utilized to simply functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with amino groups. The successful amino functionalization of MWCNTs was proven and the physicochemical properties of MWCNTs before and after supercritical ammonia fluids modifications were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results also indicated that the supercritical ammonia fluids had the visible effects on the nanostructure of carbon nanotubes. Our novel modification approach provides an easy way to modify MWCNTs with amino groups, which is very useful for realizing carbon nanotube economy in the near future. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Relationship between the Hansen solubility parameter and changes in membrane mass-transfer channels: A quantitative model

Jun Hui Huang, Lu Shao, Yan Qiu Zhang, Ying Jie Zhang, Kai Wang, Jun Ma, Enrico Drioli, Xi Quan Cheng

Summary: The relationship between swelling, theoretical Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), and membrane mass transfer channel has been a subject of controversy. A new parameter, Swell-Cavity Ratio (SCR), was introduced to characterize the changes in mass transfer channels before and after membrane swelling. Models of the relationship between SCR and HSP were successfully constructed for nanoporous glassy and rubbery membranes. Theoretical calculations accurately determine the influence of solvent on membrane mass transfer channel, enabling the selection of optimal membrane materials and pretreatment processes.

Chemical topology molecular engineering of CO2-philic membranes toward highly efficient carbon capture

Bin Zhu, Yan Yang, Kaifang Wang, Xuezhong He, Ben Hang Yin, Lu Shao

Summary: Membrane gas separation processes play a crucial role in achieving carbon neutral climate goals. CO2philic membranes offer excellent selectivity for separating gases with similar or smaller molecular sizes than CO2. However, the gas permeability of PEO membranes is often hindered by dense chain packing and crystallization. To overcome this, a molecular engineering approach was used to develop a unique PEO membrane with a hyperbranched chemical topology connection. This strategy effectively regulated the packing density of polymer chains and reinforced the free volume fraction, resulting in a PEO membrane with superior performance.

Surface manipulation for prevention of migratory viscous crude oil fouling in superhydrophilic membranes

Yuanyuan Zhao, Xiaobin Yang, Zhongjun Cheng, Cher Hon Lau, Jun Ma, Lu Shao

Summary: This study presents a proactive fouling prevention mechanism by decorating a membrane surface with wrinkled-pattern microparticles, which can effectively prevent fouling caused by migratory viscous crude oil. The microparticles create nanoscale wrinkled patterns that increase the contact area between the membrane surface and water molecules, expanding the steric hindrance between the oil molecules and membrane surface. This concept successfully inhibits the initial adhesion, migration, and deposition of oil, achieving efficient migratory viscous crude oil antifouling. This research opens pathways for the development of superwettable materials with diverse applications in the environment, energy, health, and other fields.
