In this study, we synthesized an amidoximated polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane (P-Oxime). Subsequently, we grafted reactive green 19 (RG19) dye onto its surface, resulting in the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane. Further enhancement was achieved by physically attaching poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) to the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane, leading to the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB membrane. Extensive characterization of the nanofiber membranes was conducted, focusing on crucial physical and mechanical properties such as functional group content, morphology, and thermostability. The optimization of various modification conditions, including initial dye and PHMB concentrations, duration, temperature, and nitrile group conversion to oxime concentrations, played a pivotal role in achieving superior antibacterial performance in P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membranes. In-depth analyses involved the application of kinetic and equilibrium thermodynamic models to unravel the modification processes of RG19 dye and PHMB in the nanofiber membranes. Under the carefully tuned optimal modification conditions, the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membrane exhibited remarkable antibacterial efficacy, achieving nearly 100% disinfection of E. coli . In addition to exploring its antimicrobial capabilities, we thoroughly examined the repeatability and biocompatibility of the nanofiber membranes. The results indicated not only the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membrane was a highly promising antibacterial material but also highlighted its potential for diverse applications, particularly in food and textile fabrication, owing to its exceptional performance and suitability.

We report here highly scalable yet stackable C/FeC membranes with fast ion-transport micro-/nanochannels and polysulfide-trapping networks via a facile phase-inversion process for high-areal-capacity Li-S batteries. The membrane cathodes with aligned channels and hierarchically porous networks significantly promote Li and electron transportation and meanwhile trap soluble polysulfide intermediates (LiPSs) effectively via strong chemical adsorption of the doped FeC nanoparticles in the membrane toward LiPSs. We further demonstrated that five-layer membrane electrodes with high S loading of 7.1 mg cm were readily prepared via layer-by-layer stacking of the C/FeC membrane, which can deliver a high capacity of 726 mA h g after 100 cycles, corresponding to an ultra-high-areal-capacity of 5.15 mA h cm at a low electrolyte/sulfur (/) ratio of 6.4 μL mg. The scalable multifunctional membrane electrodes with excellent electrochemical performance under high-sulfur-loading and lean electrolyte conditions reveal its promising applications in practical Li-S batteries.

Hydrophobic membranes have limitations, which are the low permeation rate and susceptible to fouling, therefore membrane modifications are generally required. In this paper, hydrophobic polymer membrane modification has been studied by mixing dragon's blood resin (DBR) as bio additive. Two types of polymers were used, they were polyethersulfon (M-3 PES) and polyvinylidene Two types of polymers were used, they were polyethersulfon (M-3 PES) and polyvinylidene fluoride (M-3 PVDF) with a concentration of 14.5% polymer and 3% DBR. The results showed that M-3 PES had greater porosity, water uptake, pore size, and clean water flux than M3-PVDF. However, the antifouling performance of M-3 PVDF membrane tends to be better than M-3 PES, as well as its rejection. Both membranes tend to be stable even after repeated use.
