Interlayered thin-film nanocomposite membrane with synergetic effect of COFs interlayer and GQDs incorporation for organic solvent nanofiltration

Recent progress in the synthesis and applications of covalent organic framework-based composites

“…Furthermore, research on COFs@new CNM composites, such as graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), carbon quantum dots, and graphene quantum dots, have also been reported over the past few years. [105][106][107] For example, semiconducting polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 , denoted as CN) photocatalyst has drawn dramatically increasing attention in recent years; this can be ascribed to its facile synthesis, low processing cost, easy functionalization, and high physicochemical stability as well as suitable energy alignment. It also shows great promise in the light-driven hydrogen evolution reaction.…”

Carbon dot engineered membranes for separation – a comprehensive review and current challenges

“…Aer IP, the membranes are heated to fully complete the polymerization reaction and to remove any remaining organic solvents. In an alternate method, CDs are typically coated with coating agents such as polydopamine (PDA) or poly (maleic acid-co-acrylic acid) sodium salt (PMAS) [63][64][65][66][67][68] on the porous membrane support which is then followed by the traditional IP process. In this method CDs are introduced as interlayers above which IP occurs.…”

Polymer carbon nitride nanosheet-based lamellar membranes inspired by “couple hardness with softness” for ultrafast molecular separation in organic solvents

“…Lamellar membranes based on stacked two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene oxide (GO), 14–16 MXene, 17–19 covalent organic frameworks (COFs), 20 and transition metal disulfide nanosheets 21,22 have demonstrated excellent organic solvent nanofiltration performance because of their intriguing nanofluidic phenomena and their subnanometer interlayer channels. 23–25 Particularly, graphene oxide is the most widely studied two-dimensional material in membranes because of its easy fabrication, self-assembly characteristics, and excellent chemical stability in organic solvents.…”
