Three-Dimensional Stable Cation-Exchange Membrane with Enhanced Mechanical, Electrochemical, and Antibacterial Performance by in Situ Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles
Abstract:In this study, a
simple and facile approach was proposed to synthesize silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) loaded cation-exchange membranes (CEMs). A wide analytical
study involving scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction,
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was accomplished to corroborate
that the in situ generated AgNPs were uniformly dispersed in the polymer
matrix. In addition, as a result of the proposed synthesis strategy,
the cross-linking structure inside the membrane was formed. The proper
