Polycation-Intercalated MXene Membrane with Enhanced Permselective and Anti-Microbial Properties.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-based membranes feature attractive properties for molecular separation and transport, which exhibit huge potential in various chemical processes. However, the low permeability and bio-fouling of the MXene membrane in water treatment become huge obstacles to its practical application. Herein, a highly permselective and anti-bacterial 2D nanofiltration membrane is fabricated by intercalating a polycation of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) into the Ti₃C₂T_x MXene laminar architecture through a facile and patternable electrostatic assembly strategy. As a result, the as-fabricated Ti₃C₂T_x/PDDA composite membrane exhibits higher water permeance up to 73.4 L m^-2 h^-1
