Abstract

Membranes are recognized as a key component in many environment and energy–related applications, but conventional membranes are challenged to satisfy the growing demand for ever more energy–efficient processes. Janus membranes, a novel class with asymmetric properties on each side, have recently emerged and represent enticing opportunities to address this challenge. With an inner driving force arising from their asymmetric configuration, Janus membranes are appealing for enhancing energy efficiency in a variety of membrane processes by promoting the desired transport. Furthermore, the fundamental principles to prepare Janus membranes with asymmetric surface wettability and charges are summarized, and how they work in conventional and unconventional membrane processes is demonstrated.

Janus Membranes via Diffusion-Controlled Atomic Layer Deposition

Journal Article Waldman, Ruben Z. ; Argonne National Lab. ; Yang, Hao-Cheng ; ... - Advanced Materials Interfaces

The first use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) to produce Janus membranes is reported, with an example system consisting of a compositional gradient ranging from hydrophilic Al ₂O ₃ on one face to hydrophobic poly(propylene) on the opposite face. Alternating pulses of trimethyl aluminum and water vapor lead to the growth of covalently bonded Al ₂O ₃ conforming to the membrane pore surfaces. Precise control of ALD parameters significantly affects the surface wetting of the modified membrane face and the depth of Al ₂O ₃ infiltration into the porosity. This depth control derives from slow precursor diffusion through the 200more »« less

JANUS — A setup for low-energy Coulomb excitation at ReA3

Journal Article Lunderberg, E. ; Belarge, J. ; Bender, P. C. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

We report that a new experimental setup for low-energy Coulomb excitation experiments was constructed in a collaboration between the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and the University of Rochester and was commissioned at the general purpose beam line of NSCL's ReA3 reaccelerator facility. The so-called JANUS setup combines γ-ray detection with the Segmented Ge Array (SeGA) and scattered particle detection using a pair of segmented double-sided Si detectors (Bambino 2). The low-energy Coulomb excitation program that JANUS enables will complement intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation studies that have long been performed at NSCL by providing access tomore »« less
