The aqueous dispersion of graphene oxide (GO) was employed as additive to fabricate antifouling and antibacterial polyethersulfone (PES)/sulfonated polysulfone (SPSf)/GO mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). The effect of different amounts of GO on the morphology and performance of MMMs were studied. The results showed that the casting solution exhibited an increasing trend in viscosity with increment in GO concentration (from 0 to 0.016 wt%) owing to the hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction among GO, HO and SPSf. Raman and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations analyses confirmed that there existed H-bonding interaction among SPSf, GO and HO. Specifically, the agglomeration of GO was inhibited and stable homogeneous casting solution was obtained. Meanwhile, the H-bonding interaction also played a key role in the MMMs structure and improved properties. It was found that GO nanosheets were uniformly embedded to form many cellular-like voids in the asymmetric PES/SPSf/GO MMMs with a sponge-like structure. The pure water flux of the MMMs with a very low GO content of 0.012 wt% was up to 816.9 L/mh and the rejection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was more than 99.2% under a pressure of 0.1 MPa. Additionally, the mechanical properties of MMMs was also improved with the increase of GO content. Importantly, the MMMs displayed excellent antifouling and antibacterial performance. A high fouling recovery (94.2%) and antibacterial rate (90.0%) against Escherichia coli (E. coli) obtained were attributed to improved hydrophilicity, enhanced negative charge and GO nano-size effect. In summary, our study provides a simple approach to tailor MMMs with the enhancement of permeation, antifouling and antibacterial properties at a very low content of GO.
氧化石墨烯(GO)的水基分散体被用作添加剂,通过非溶剂致相分离(NIPS)制备具有抗污染和抗菌性能的聚醚砜(PES)/磺化聚砜(SPSf)/GO 混合基质膜(MMMs)。研究了不同 GO 用量对 MMMs 形态和性能的影响。结果表明,由于 GO、HO 和 SPSf 之间的氢键(H-bonding)相互作用,随着 GO 浓度(从 0 增加到 0.016wt%)的增加,铸膜液的粘度呈上升趋势。拉曼和分子动力学(MD)模拟分析证实,SPSf、GO 和 HO 之间存在 H-bonding 相互作用。具体来说,GO 的团聚被抑制,得到了稳定的均相铸膜液。同时,H-bonding 相互作用也在 MMMs 结构中起关键作用,并提高了性能。发现 GO 纳米片均匀嵌入到具有海绵状结构的不对称 PES/SPSf/GO MMMs 中形成许多蜂窝状空隙。在 0.1MPa 压力下,GO 含量非常低(仅为 0.012wt%)的 MMMs 的纯水通量高达 816.9L/mh,牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的截留率超过 99.2%。此外,随着 GO 含量的增加,MMMs 的力学性能也得到了提高。重要的是,MMMs 表现出优异的抗污染和抗菌性能。获得了 94.2%的高污垢恢复率和 90.0%的大肠杆菌(E. coli)抗菌率,这归因于提高的亲水性、增强的负电荷和 GO 纳米尺寸效应。总之,我们的研究提供了一种简单的方法,通过在非常低的 GO 含量下增强渗透、抗污染和抗菌性能来定制 MMMs。
