ultrathin polyamide nanofiltration membranes fabricated
on nanomaterial-based supports have overcome the limitations of conventional
supports and show greatly improved separation performance. However,
the feasibility of the nanomaterial-based supports for large-scale
fabrication of the ultrathin polyamide membrane is still unclear.
Herein, we report a controllable and saleable fabrication technique
for a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) network support via brush painting. The mechanical and chemical stability
of the SWCNT network support were carefully examined, and an ultrathin
polyamide membrane with thickness of ∼15 nm was successfully
fabricated based on such a support. The obtained thin-film composite
(TFC) polyamide nanofiltration membranes exhibited extremely high
water permeability of ∼40 L m–2 h –1 bar–1, a high Na2SO 4 rejection
of 96.5%, and high monovalent/divalent ion permeation selectivity
and maintained highly efficient ion sieving throughout 48 h of testing.
This work demonstrates a practical route toward the controllable large-scale
fabrication of the TFC membrane with an SWCNT network support for
ion and molecule sieving. This work is also expected to boost the
mass production and practical applications of state-of-the-art membranes
composed of one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials as well
as the nanomaterial-supported TFC membranes.
