Ordered Honeycomb‐Pattern Membrane^†

Abstract

Ordered porous membranes have wide and important application prospects in the fields of filtration, separation, catalysis, biomedicine, etc., and have attracted growing interest in the field of material science. Among diverse membrane preparation approaches, breath pattern method has been widely concerned due to its simplicity in the preparation, ease in tuning the structure/property and functionality of formed membranes, and broad utility for various polymers. With the development of material design, the application spectrum of breath figure membrane has been greatly expanded. However, since the pore morphology of porous membrane is influenced by many factors, the controlling mechanism of normalization has not been clear yet. In this paper, the research progress of film-forming materials in recent years is reviewed, and the correlation between pore formation and pore morphology is discussed in details. This information will provide a systematic and in-depth perspective for research in this filed and an important guideline for the preparation of the ordered porous films with divergent applications.

Iridium-decorated carbon nanotubes as cathode catalysts for Li-CO2 batteries with a highly efficient direct Li2CO3 formation/decomposition capability

“…Actually, Li 2 CO 3 formed during discharge processes, however, is hard to be decomposed in the charge processes [17] , leading to the large overpotentials of CO 2 evolution reaction and poor cycling stability [18,19] . Consequently, some strategies such as constructing efficient cathode catalysts [20,21] and improving bat-tery structures [22,23] are vitally significant to handle such challenges and boost the LCB performance [24] .…”

Functional Poly(ionic liquid) Porous Membranes: From Fabrications to Advanced Applications†

“…[ 3‐4 ] Since then, synthetic polymer porous membranes have been extensively found in various practical applications, ranging from water purification and treatment, biopharmaceutical separations to electronics processing. [ 5‐7 ] Despite great advancement of the porous membranes, their primary usages within industry remain in the field of simple filtration and dialysis. It is necessary to consider what the new generation of the membrane is and how we get there.…”

ISO2‐PU Honeycomb Porous Films with a Peculiar Crystalline Structure by the Breath Figure Method Promote Osteogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells

“…[19] Therefore, SMPUs are among the most promising polymers for bone repair or regeneration. Though various polymers, including polylactic acid, [20] polystyrene, [21] poly(lacticglycolic acid), [22] poly(𝜖-caprolactone), [23] poly(methyl methacrylate), [24] polybutylene succinate, [25] and poly(1,2-butadiene), [12,26] have been fabricated into porous films by using the BF method and the pore design and functional modification of porous films have been widely investigated, [8,[26][27][28][29][30] little attention has been paid to the fabrication of SMPUs films by using the BF method. In addition, a few of researches noticed that the styrene-based copolymer porous films prepared by the BF method have special microstructures.…”
