“…However, the asymmetric membranes are often limited by the fouling due to PPSU hydrophobicity . Therefore, the use of sulfonated PPSU could be extended to the elaboration of asymmetric membranes for application in ultrafiltration (UF) nanofiltration, or reverse osmosis which could present a decrease in fouling and increase in the life cycle of the membrane depending on their sulfonation degree (SD) . However, it is necessary to overcome some disadvantages of sulfonated polymers with high SD which avoid the precipitation and solidification in water or other commonly used nonsolvents during the asymmetric membrane formation .…”

Sulfonated polyphenylsulfone porous asymmetric membranes, S-PPSU with different sulfonation degrees, 21, 33, 50 wt %, were prepared by phase inversion. Two different coagulation baths were explored for asymmetric membrane preparation: acetone/isopropanol and acetic acid (AA)-NaHCO 3 /isopropanol. The latter bath allows better morphology control for the nucleation and pore formation of the membrane. Scanning electron microscopy of membranes shows that pore interconnectivity is improved, when the mixture of AA-NaHCO 3 /isopropanol was used for asymmetric S-PPSU ultrafiltration membranes preparation. S-PPSU asymmetric membranes show an increasing hydrophilicity with increasing sulfonation degree. Asymmetric membrane antifouling properties improve as the concentration of sulfonic groups increases in the membrane showing twice the flux recovery ratio and lower BSA protein absorption in static and dynamic flux tests.

“…The author concludes that the s-Poly membranes exhibited good high proton conductivity, mechanical, and thermal property which leads to promising results in fuel cell applications. Pedicini et al [57] analyzed the sulphonated polysulphone (SPSF) containing urethane groups can improve the proton conductivity of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) at a temperature of 80 °C. The SPSF with a sulfonation degree (DS), ranging 40–70% was prepared standardized procedure.…”

This paper focuses on a literature analysis and review of sulfonated polymer (s-Poly) composites, sulfonated organic, inorganic, and organic–inorganic hybrid membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM) systems, particularly for methanol fuel cell applications. In this review, we focused mainly on the detailed analysis of the distinct segment of s-Poly composites/organic–inorganic hybrid membranes, the relationship between composite/organic– inorganic materials, structure, and performance. The ion exchange membrane, their size distribution and interfacial adhesion between the s-Poly composites, nanofillers, and functionalized nanofillers are also discussed. The paper emphasizes the enhancement of the s-Poly composites/organic–inorganic hybrid membrane properties such as low electronic conductivity, high proton conductivity, high mechanical properties, thermal stability, and water uptake are evaluated and compared with commercially available Nafion® membrane.

“…PS is divided into two categories: polyarylethersulfones (PAESs) and polyethersulfones (PESs) [ 1 ]. PES is one of the most studied and commonly utilized materials in the production of synthetic polymer membranes [ 2 , 3 ]. To use PES for membranes, it must be modified by adding different functional groups to the polymer, such as carboxylated (-COOH), hydroxylated (-OH), specially sulfonated (-SO 3 H), and aminated (-NH 2 ) groups, or a combination of them [ 4 ].…”

In the current study, a variety of sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES)-based ion-exchange membranes were prepared and utilized as efficient and selective solid adsorbents for the detection of Co(II) ions in aquatic solutions. SPES membranes were treated with a variety of cations at a 2:1 ratio overnight. The produced materials were assessed via XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TGA analyses. The structure of these materials was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD, which also confirmed the inclusion of Na+, NH4+, and amberlite on the SPES surface successfully. TGA analysis showed that the thermal stabilities of these materials were enhanced, and the order of stability was NH4-SPES > SPES > Na-SPES > A-SPES. Furthermore, the efficiency of these modified membranes for the determination and adsorption of a variety of metal ions was also examined by the ICP-OES analytical technique. A-SPES expressed a powerful efficiency of adsorption, and it showed an efficient as well as quantitative adsorption at pH = 6. Moreover, A-SPES displayed the highest adsorption capacity of 90.13 mg/g for Co(II) through the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
