  • 由於工業化和環境汙染,環境永續需要高效能分離薄膜。薄膜在惡劣的環境下操作勢必遭遇薄膜污損、塑化和機械性質不足等急需解決問題。近年來,層狀材料的二維奈米片因其有趣的特性和廣泛的應用潛力而引起了人們的興趣,它們所製作的薄膜在環境方面的應用特別令人著迷。本論文探索經由溶劑脫層法產生二維奈米片和不同方法製作的二維奈米片薄膜的性能。光譜學和顯微技術被用於鑑定脫層的二維奈米片和製備的薄膜。研究的第一部分,溶劑 (NMP) 剝離的 WS2 奈米片被用於提升聚醚碸混合基質超濾薄膜的性能,該薄膜藉由相轉化法製備完成。純水通量、HA 和 BSA 截留率被用於研究嵌入的奈米片對混合基質薄膜的形態和性能的影響。混合奈米片薄膜的水通量從 200 L m-2 h-1bar-1 提高到 360 L m-2 h-1bar-1,溶質截留率分別為 89%提高到 98% (BSA) 和 87% 提高到 98% (HA)。 BSA過濾膜的抗污損分析顯示混合基質膜具有量好的抗污損性能。在研究的第二和第三部分, TA用於對TMDs 和 h-BN 進行簡單、環保的水溶液脫層同時進行非共價鍵官能化改質,TA 不僅是帶負電荷的界面活性劑,由於其雙親特性亦會吸附在分層的 TMD 和 h-BN 的二維納米片上,此特性可有效的使TMD 和 h-BN脫層。在第二部分的研究中,使用正電子湮滅光譜和 XRD分析 WSe2、MoSe2 和 MoS2 層狀薄膜的微觀結構和層間距,探討薄膜的微觀結構與其氣體分離機制的關聯性。研究所製備薄膜的 H2/CO2 分離性能超過了 Robeson upper boubd。比較WSe2 與 MoSe2薄膜的氣體分離效能,用 Mo 代替 W 時薄膜的主要氣體分離機制從分子篩變為 Knudsen 擴散。然而,硫屬元素原子的變化不會影響氣體分離機制。在第三部分研究中,層狀的官能化h-BN 納米片薄膜被用於快速的溶劑傳輸和溶質篩選,所製備的薄膜在水和有機溶劑中極其穩定,並且在溶劑傳輸方面表現出足夠的效率,具有出色的溶質篩選和長期抗污損性能。h-BN 納米片薄膜的溶劑快速傳輸和溶質的充足分離效率可能是由於穩定的奈米片間通道和層狀網絡,這賦予薄膜用於分離和純化發展的有利特性。2D 奈米片改善薄膜性能的原因可能是由於表面積增加、表面特性變化(親水性和表面電荷)、晶格對稱性的變化以及納米片的非共價官能化。因此,溶劑基脫層納米片狀材料製作的薄膜有非常廣闊的應用前景。


    Due to current industrialization and environmental constraints, a highly permselective membrane is needed for environmental applications. However, membrane fouling, plasticization, and firmness problems have encountered during operation in harsh working environments. Layered materials in their two dimensional (2D) nanosheets have sparked a lot of interest in recent years due to their intriguing properties and wide variety of potential applications. Their application for membrane to the environmental aspects is fascinating. In this dissertation, solvent based exfoliation of 2D nanosheets and different avenues to synthesis membranes in a facial way applied. The exfoliated nanosheets and prepared membranes were characterized using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. In the first approach, solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone exfoliated nanosheets of WS2 used to improve performance of polyethersulfone mixed matrix ultrafiltration membrane, which was prepared via in phase inversion method. The effect of the embedded nanosheets on morphology and performance of the fabricated membrane investigated in terms of pure water flux, humic acid (HA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection. The water flux improved from 200 L m-2 h-1bar-1 to 360 L m-2 h-1bar-1 with the solutes rejection 89 to 98 % (BSA) and 87 to 98 (HA) after blending of nanosheets. Fouling resistance of the membranes for BSA filtration revealed that mixed matrix membrane has the best antifouling property. In the second and third approach, a simple, environmental-friendly aqueous exfoliation and noncovalent functionalization of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) were applied using tannic acid (TA) for laminar membranes synthesis. To delaminate bulk TMD and h-BN efficiently, TA is not only serves as a negatively charged surfactant but also adsorbs to the delaminated 2D nanosheets of TMD and h-BN owing to its amphiphilic nature. In the second application, the microstructure and interlayer spacing of WSe2, MoSe2, and MoS2 laminar membranes were explored using positron annihilation spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to correlate membrane with their gas transport mechanism. The H2/CO2 separation performance of the resultant membranes surpasses the Robeson’s upper bound. On comparison of WSe2 with MoSe2, replacing W with Mo changes the dominative gas transport mechanism of the membrane from molecular sieving to Knudsen diffusion. However, a change in the chalcogen atom do not affect the gas transport mechanism. In third application, the functionalized exfoliated h-BN nanosheets laminar membrane used for ultrafast solvent transport and solutes screening. Fascinatingly, the membrane produced is extremely stable in both water and organic solvents, and it transports solvents with enough efficiency, effective solute screening, and long-term antifouling performance. The robust nanochannel and thin laminar networks of the nanosheets give the membrane with favorable qualities for separation and decontamination processes, which may explain the membrane's rapid transport of solvents and high separation efficiency of solutes. The improved performance of membrane using 2D nanosheets may be due to increased surface area, change surface chemistry (hydrophilicity and surface charge), change in lattice symmetry, and noncovalent functionalization of nanosheets. Herein, membrane applications of solvent-based exfoliated nanosheets of layered materials are promising.
