    Abstract This Open Access book introduces readers to the regional geology of Hanggai, Xianxia and Chuancun, the area between Chinas northern Zhejiang Province and southern Anhui Province and explores the strata, magmatic rocks and tectonic structures in 1:50,000 scale geological maps. Based on studies of multiple stratigraphic divisions, the standard stratigraphic section of the upper Ordovician Hirnantian in the lower Yangtze region is established, revealing for the first time numerous "Burgess Shale-type" sponge fossils in Hirnantian strata and identifying 10 grapholite fossil belts and various fossil categories, including chitin, trilobites, gastropods, brachiopods, and cephalopods. Moreover, the book identifies for the first time Late Ordovician volcanic events in northern Zhejiang province. The work represents a major contribution to research on Paleozoic strata in the Lower Yangtze region, and sheds new light on understanding the Hirnantian glacial event and biological extinction event in South China by providing a high-precision time scale. In addition, the book opens an important avenue for future research on sponge evolution after the Cambrian life explosion. As such, it offers a unique and valuable asset for researchers and graduate students alike

    Abstract The preparation of atom-thick porous lattice hosting Å-scale pores is attractive to achieve a large ion-ion selectivity in combination with a large ion flux. Graphene film is an ideal selective layer for this if high-precision pores can be incorporated, however, it is challenging to avoid larger non-selective pores at the tail-end of the pore size distribution which reduces ion-ion selectivity. Herein, we develop a strategy to overcome this challenge using an electrochemical repair strategy that successfully masks larger pores in large-area graphene. 10-nm-thick electropolymerized conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) layer is successfully deposited on graphene, thanks to a strong π-π interaction in these two materials. While the CMP layer itself is not selective, it effectively masks graphene pores, leading to a large Li

    Abstract We proposed a novel strategy for fabricating a high-performance forward osmosis (FO) membrane by forming a polyamide (PA) selective layer via interfacial polymerization on top of an interconnected porous carbon nanotube (CNT) network support. The fabricated CNT-PA membrane had a highly permeable and selective PA layer for fast water and solvents passage with efficient salt and solutes rejection, and an ultrathin CNT support that significantly reduced the internal concentration polarization in the FO process. Tested in the FO (e.g., active layer facing feed solution) mode using DI water as feed solution and 1.0 M NaCl as draw solution, the optimal CNT-PA membrane exhibited a water flux of as high as 139 L m⁻² h⁻¹(LMH)with comparable salt rejection, 686% higher than that of commercial FO membrane, outperforming the previously reported best FO membranes tested under similar conditions. Besides, the CNT-PA membrane also showed great capability to recover organic solvents such as ethanol (EtOH), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) when used in the organic solvent forward osmosis (OSFO) process and to concentrate chemicals in organic solvents. Results present that the CNT-PA membrane exhibited a DMAc flux of around 20 LMH with near 100% rhodamine B dye rejection and a negligible reverse solute flux when using 2.0 M PEG400 as a draw solution. The contributions of the CNT support layer and the PA selective layer to the osmotic filtration performance of the CNT-PA membrane were investigated and discussed to provide insights on the FO membrane design and fabrication for the efficient separation in aqueous and organic solvent system.

    Abstract Heterogeneous membranes that exhibit an ionic diode effect are promising candidates for osmotic energy conversion. However, existing heterogeneous membranes lack molecular-level designed ion channels, thereby limiting their power densities. Here, we demonstrate ionic diode covalent organic framework (COF) membranes with well-defined ion channels, asymmetric geometry and surface charge polarity as high-performance osmotic power generators. The COF diode membranes are comprised of heterojunctions combining a positively charged ultrathin COF layer and a negatively charged COF layer supported by a porous COF nanofiber scaffold, exhibiting an ionic diode effect that effectuates fast unidirectional ion diffusion and anion selectivity. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the differentiated interactions between anions and COF channels contributed to superior I

    Abstract A triple-layered TFC nanofiltration (NF) membrane consisting of a polyamide (PA) top layer covered on a poly(ether sulfone) microfiltration membrane with a carbon nanotube (CNT) interlayer was fabricated via interfacial polymerization. The structure and properties of the PA active layer could be finely tailored by tuning the interfacial properties and pore structure of the CNT interlayer, including its surface pore size and thickness, thus improving its NF performance. This TFC NF membrane exhibited a high divalent salt rejection (the rejection of Na

    Abstract Inspired by the light-gated ion channels in cell membranes that play important roles in many biological activities, herein, we developed an artificial light-gated ion channel membrane out of conjugated microporous polymers. Through bottom-up design of the monomer molecular structure and by the electropolymerization method, the membrane pore size and thickness were precisely controlled on the molecular level. The obtained membrane exhibited uniform pore size and highly sensitive light-switchable response. The photoisomerization of the polymer chain resulted in a reversible "on and off" light control over the pore size and subsequently led to light-gated ion transport across the membrane for a series of ions including hydrogen, potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum ions.

    Abstract Nanofluidic membranes have been demonstrated as promising candidates for osmotic energy harvesting. However, it remains a long-standing challenge to fabricate high-efficiency ion-permselective membranes with well-defined channel architectures. Here, we demonstrate high-performance osmotic energy conversion membranes based on oriented two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with ultrashort vertically aligned nanofluidic channels that enabled efficient and selective ion transport. Experiments combined with molecular dynamics simulations revealed that exquisite control over channel orientation, charge polarity, and charge density contributed to high ion selectivity and permeability. When applied to osmotic energy conversion, a pair of 100 nm thick oppositely charged COF membranes achieved an ultrahigh output power density of 43.2 W m–² at a 50-fold salinity gradient and up to 228.9 W m–² for the Dead Sea and river water system. The achieved power density outperforms the state-of-the-art nanofluidic membranes, suggesting the great potential of oriented COF membranes in the fields of advanced membrane technology and energy conversion.

    Abstract Reverse osmosis (RO) has been widely used as a dominant desalination technology to produce fresh water from seawater (SW), but still consumes huge energy. To reduce the energy consumption of RO, pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has been developed to extract osmotic energy from RO brine. In this study, the PRO process is optimized for efficient energy recovery from RO brine via one system/module-level mathematic model in RO-PRO hybrid system. The system-level model illustrates that the specific energy consumption (SEC) of the hybrid system can be significantly reduced when achieving a high permeate flow under high operating pressure in PRO. However, the specific PRO membrane configuration has to sacrifice a high permeate flow under high operating pressure. The module-level model finds that the increase of PRO operating temperature facilitates to achieve a high permeate flow under a high optimal operating pressure. Furthermore, results present that the SEC at a kiloton-scale SWRO desalination capacity can be reduced by 14.41% (0.6 M NaCl as a draw solution) and 17.93% (1.2 M NaCl as a draw solution) when the PRO operating temperature increases from 25 °C to 50 °C, confirming the great potential of temperature-enhanced PRO to further reduce the SEC of seawater desalination.
