Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) offer superior salt separation due to subnanometer channels.
  • Defects during synthesis and transfer limit the macroscopic application of CNMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a scalable method for healing defects in CNMs.
  • To preserve subnanometer pores during the defect healing process.

Main Methods:

  • Interfacial polymerization was employed to heal defects in CNMs.
  • Defect-healed freestanding CNMs were characterized for their performance.

Main Results:

  • The defect-healed CNMs demonstrated high performance in forward osmosis (FO).
  • Achieved water flux of 105 L m⁻² h⁻¹ and a specific reverse salt flux of 0.1 g L⁻¹.
  • Synthesized centimeter-scale CNM composite membranes with high water permeance and salt rejection.

Conclusions:

  • The defect-healing method effectively addresses limitations in CNM synthesis.
  • This advancement promotes the practical application of CNMs in salt separation.
  • The developed method shows promise for scalable and efficient membrane technology.
