Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technique for desalinating brine and purifying wastewater but low water flux and severe membrane fouling always plague its practical application. Developing new membranes with both high flux and fouling resistance is highly desirable. Here, a hydrophilic/hydrophobic Janus membrane that can simultaneously ac...

Powder metallurgy (P/M) route is commonly adopted to fabricate titanium-matrix composites (TMCs). However, majority of the reinforcements are distributed along the grain boundaries, but are absent within the grains, such that the desired mechanical properties are rarely obtained. We have developed a novel process of interfacial/intragranular reinfo...

The growing demand for portable and flexible electronics, such as roll-up displays, electronic papers, and wearable sensing devices, has stimulated the development of flexible energy storage devices. Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of a high-voltage solid-state flexible free-standing supercapacitor with an ionogel separator. The negative ele...

Whereas numerous experimental and simulation studies have been contributed to the investigation of fluid transport across membranes in the past decades, there is a significant discrepancy between experiments and simulations in the magnitude of fluid permeability and the degree of flow rate enhancement. Here, we show that one of the causes of the di...

Biocatalytic membrane takes advantages of reaction-separation integration as well as enzyme immobilization, which has attracted increasing attentions in online detection and biomanufacturing. However, the high preparation cost, inferior comprehensive performance, and low stability limit its applications. Thus, besides enzyme immobilization, more ef...
