Dual hydrogen bonds stabilize layer-by-layer membranes in highly saline environments (2025)
Journal Article
Chen, J., Liao, S., Yan, J., Hussein, E., Tokay, B., Hu, B., & He, T. (2025). Dual hydrogen bonds stabilize layer-by-layer membranes in highly saline environments. Journal of Membrane Science, 731, Article 124235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2025.124235

Layer-by-layer (LBL) nanofiltration (NF) membranes have shown advantages in separating monovalent and divalent cations. The separation process always involves highly saline solutions especially at high water recovery. Due to the non-chemical weak bin...

Development of sustainable synthesis methods of organic electrode materials (OEMs) for sodium (Na)-ion batteries must take hold rapidly in large scale-synthesis if subsequent commercialisation is to occur. We report a facile and rapid gram-scale synt... Read More about Rapid gram-scale microwave-assisted synthesis of organic anodes for sodium-ion batteries with environmental impact assessment.

Synthesis of hydrophobic MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles in low molecular weight alcohols: systematic investigation of solvent effects (2018)
Journal Article
