Advanced Membrane for Ion Separation

thesis
posted on 2025-10-06, 23:12 authored by Wanqiao Liang
This work focuses on creating advanced membranes that can separate specific ions from mixtures, which is important for both recycling valuable metals like nickel and cobalt, and for improving flow batteries that store renewable energy. By carefully designing the structure and surface of these membranes, they can let the right ions pass through while blocking others. The goal is to make these membranes efficient, stable, and affordable. This research helps develop better ways to recover important materials and support clean energy technologies, offering practical solutions for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.<p></p>
