“…However, within the realm of polymeric materials, polyphenylsulfones have garnered significant attention for their appealing applications in membrane-based technologies, including fuel cell membranes [42][43][44] and industrial separation [45,46]. Notably, these materials have also been investigated for their potential in membrane-based separation technologies for the dehydration of organic mixtures under acidic conditions [43,47]. These studies confirm the immense potential of polymeric membranes, such as polyphenylsulfones, in industrial separation processes, particularly when operating in the presence of an acidic medium.…”

Ethanol, a versatile chemical extensively employed in several fields, including fuel production, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, and chemical manufacturing, continues to witness expanding applications. Consequently, there is an ongoing need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly purification technologies for this organic compound in both diluted (ethanol-water–) and concentrated solutions (water-ethanol–). Pervaporation (PV), as a membrane technology, has emerged as a promising solution offering significant reductions in energy and resource consumption during the production of high-purity components. This review aims to provide a panorama of the recent advancements in materials adapted into PV membranes, encompassing polymeric membranes (and possible blending), inorganic membranes, mixed-matrix membranes, and emerging two-dimensional-material membranes. Among these membrane materials, we discuss the ones providing the most relevant performance in separating ethanol from the liquid systems of water–ethanol and ethanol–water, among others. Furthermore, this review identifies the challenges and future opportunities in material design and fabrication techniques, and the establishment of structure–performance relationships. These endeavors aim to propel the development of next-generation pervaporation membranes with an enhanced separation efficiency.

“…Environmental pollution caused by the increasing consumption of fossil fuels has become one of the critical problems in the world, which drives intensive research on eco-friendly renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. 1–3 However, the seasonal and unstable characteristics of renewable sources significantly influence the electricity generation process. Therefore, energy storage systems such as vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) with low prices, safety, reliability and large-scale production are urgently demanded.…”
