▎ 摘 要
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes show great potential in molecular separation for water treatment. However, the inferior stability of GO membranes is a major bottleneck for practical applications. In this study, bio-inspired polydopamine (PDA) deposition is reported for enhancing the stability of GO membranes. Through simple and mild immersion, PDA is self-polymerized on GO membranes. The blocking of PDA chains to membrane defects improves the rejections for various molecules. Because the inherently strong adhesion and crosslinking of PDA greatly strengthen the interactions of substrates to GO layers and the binding force of GO nanosheets, the prepared PDA-GO membranes exhibit impressive long-term stability in cross-flow filtration, and maintain good nanofiltration performance at various feed pressures, tangential velocities, and even after external scratching. Moreover, because the deposited PDA layers obstruct the direct contact between GO and contaminants, the antifouling property of the PDA-GO membranes increases substantially, with recovery ratio about 98%.
