Researchers at KAUST have developed a novel polymer membrane that can precisely separate ions, opening up new possibilities for technologies like water purification, mineral extraction, and energy storage. The membranes' precise control over pore size and uniformity makes them ideal for applications such as removing ions from seawater ...
Researchers at KAUST found that a sweet spot for membrane thickness exists to optimize separation performance, with thicker films showing higher microporosity but thinner films posing unexpected transport resistance
KAIST researchers create ultramicroporous benzothiazole polymers with exceptional stability and affinity for CO2, offering a sustainable solution to natural gas sweetening. The novel materials can be recycled back into an efficient process.
Scientists at Imperial College London have created high-performance microporous polymer membranes with enhanced permeability and selectivity. These membranes can efficiently separate gases and liquids, reducing energy consumption and pollution, with potential applications in oil purification, desalination, and CO2 capture.
