Overview

Innovative membranes improve antifouling and recovery in water purification, suggesting new sustainable solutions.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop a lotus-leaf-mimetic membrane with enhanced properties for water purification.
  • Synthesis of a catalytic membrane using a metal-organic intermediate layer and MnO₂ mineralization.
  • Evaluation of antifouling ability and recovery performance compared to unmineralized membranes.
  • Computational simulations to analyze membrane structure.
  • Membrane achieves 99.9% operando flux recovery during operation.
  • Exhibited 24.8-fold greater antifouling ability compared to unmineralized counterparts.
  • Displayed 10.6-fold increased recovery rates, outperforming current state-of-the-art membranes.
