Recent Advances in Stimuli‐Responsive Smart Membranes for Nanofiltration (Adv. Funct. Mater. 9/2023)

Abstract

Stimuli‐Responsive Smart Membranes In article number 2211983, Yanxin Wang, Jianguo Tang, Linjun Huang, Jun Chen, and co‐workers review the recent development in stimuli‐responsive smart membranes for nanofiltration. The stimuli include pH, temperature, light, and electricity, which are introduced by size sieving, electrostatic repulsion, and wettability switching. This review also provides a critical analysis of the current advances in smart membranes and insights into remaining challenges and future directions.

Layered nanomaterials for renewable energy generation and storage

“…The LbL method has been automated and is now used to develop new commercial products. 85,86 Industry explores future directions for applying LbL, such as functional coatings on complex surfaces, 87–90 membranes 81,91,92 and material design, 93,94 and for biomedical delivery applications. 95–97…”

Constructing Scalable Membrane with Tunable Wettability by Electrolysis‐Induced Interface pH for Oil–Water Separation

“…[ 17 ] The membrane wettability will change depending on the pH of the solution, which popularly results from the pH‐induced reversible protonation or deprotonation of acid–base groups on the surface. [ 18 ] For example, Cheng et al. [ 19 ] reported the pH‐responsive membranes with excellent superwettability.…”

A Novel Biosensing Approach: Improving SnS2 FET Sensitivity with a Tailored Supporter Molecule and Custom Substrate

“…[7][8][9][10] Conventional methods for proteinbased molecular diagnostic processes, such as immunoassays are expensive and labor-intensive. [10][11][12] Even though highly professional workers and meticulous sample preparation are essential to use these approaches. [13] Because of these limitations, their use as a POC-based system has been constrained and is now partially functional for providing service in a pandemic crisis.…”
