Abstract
Novel hybrid nanostructures (HNS) comprising of a mussel-inspired polymer coated metal/metal oxide (M/MO)–carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were successfully synthesized and used to fabricate Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for desalination applications. For comparison, four different M/MO (Aluminium...

Novel hybrid nanostructures (HNS) comprising of a mussel-inspired polymer coated metal/metal oxide (M/MO)–carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were successfully synthesized and used to fabricate Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for desalination applications. For comparison, four different M/MO (Aluminium oxide-Al2O3, Iron oxide-Fe2O3, Titanium dioxide-TiO2 and Silver-Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were in situ synthesized/loaded on the surface of CNTs, and the resultant HNS were further coated with a thin polymeric film of polydopamine (PDA). An intermediate layer of HNS was then deposited on a PES substrate membrane and an interfacial polymerization (IP) process was carried out to render a polyamide (PA) thin layer above the intermediate layer. Both HNS and TFN were characterized using different characterization tools, including fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential (ZP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), surface hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and the performance of nanofiltration (NF) membranes were evaluated against monovalent and divalent salts solutions.
