▎ 摘  要

Graphene oxide (GO) with one-atom-thick exhibit remarkable molecule sieving properties, but its low permeance flux renders it difficult to be applied in practice as a high-permeance separation membrane. In this study, we design complex membrane from covalently crosslinked GO, polydopamine (PDA), and 3-aminopropytriethoxysilane (APTES) as building blocks to fabricate the high-permeance GO-based mem-brane via the vacuum filtration method. A branched crosslinking product (PDA/APTES) working as a clamp grasped the hydrophilic functional groups (hydroxyl, epoxy, carboxyl) on GO for improving the GO mem-brane flux. The interlayer structure of the GO membrane was optimized according to the crosslinker con-centration, reaction time, initial pH, and temperature for RGO/PDA/APTES (RGPA) in this study. At the optimized reaction conditions including the crosslinker concentration of 1.4 mL/L, the temperature of 80 & DEG;C, the time of 16 h, and the initial pH of 8.5 for RGPA mixture, the interlayer gallery of RGPA membrane was effectively tunes, endowing high flux ranging from 11.98 L m-2 h -1 to 1823.97 L m-2 h -1. Besides, the RGPA membrane ensured the high rejections to dye solutions such as methylene blue (MB) (> 99%) and congo red (CR) (> 90%). Meanwhile, the superior reusable performance of the RGPA membrane was achieved, together with the rejections for MB and CR to 96.32% and 93.1% after 4 cycles, respectively. Also, the RGPA membrane possessed superior anti-fouling performances for bovine serum albumin (BSA) aqueous solution and excellent stabilities in harsh conditions (pH 3, 7 and 11). Grafting the crosslinker onto GO nanosheets exhibits the distinct advantages of achieving the high flux, high rejections to dyes, and superior reusable performance of membranes, posing a great application potential for membrane separation technology in wastewater treatment.
