Summary: This study investigates the relationship between membrane function and ion transport character in monovalent cation perm-selective membranes. Using a two-dimensional model based on Navier-Stokes and Nernst-Planck-Poisson equations, the impact of modified layer's thickness, fixed charge concentration, and base membrane fixed charge density on ion flux and selectivity is thoroughly investigated. The findings establish the combined contribution of membrane properties on the trade-off between ion selectivity and permeability, providing a substantial reference for the development of advanced cation perm-selective membranes for monovalent ions isolation.

Summary: Thermal conductivity is a fundamental parameter in battery pack models, but current measurement methods have large errors. This paper presents three novel methods for measuring thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity with an accuracy of 5.6%. These methods, designed for materials like lithium-ion batteries, maintain a symmetrical thermal boundary condition around the middle of the cell, leading to improved measurement accuracy. These methods represent the future for thermal characterization of lithium-ion batteries.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that vibration- or rotation-based techniques can effectively mitigate fouling during membrane filtration. However, it is difficult to incorporate these techniques with spiral wound modules (SWMs) widely used in water and wastewater treatment. This study developed a prototype membrane system to accommodate angular vibrations with a modified SWM, and experimental results showed that applying angular vibrations can effectively control algal fouling in an SWM with lower energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

Summary: Increasing temperatures worldwide pose a significant health risk, exacerbated by high humidity. Conventional air conditioners contribute heavily to carbon dioxide emissions, with dehumidification being a major factor. Membrane-based dehumidification system offers energy efficiency and non-toxic water vapor removal. This study demonstrates a membrane dehumidification system with polymeric hollow fibers coated with a green polyphenol coating, showing remarkable water vapor transport rate and selectivity. Long-term testing reveals minimal decline in vapor transport and a 4-5 times higher coefficient of performance (COP) compared to conventional dehumidifiers, making it a highly competitive, energy-saving device with reduced emissions and a smaller footprint.
