Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of ion exchange membrane materials and new energy technologies, and in particular to a dehydration drag-reducing ion exchange membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by the urgent need for global energy structure transformation, salinity gradient energy (SGR), an environmentally friendly renewable energy source with abundant reserves (estimated at approximately 2.6 TW), has become a research hotspot in the renewable energy field due to its natural existence at the seawater-freshwater interface. Reverse electrodialysis (RED) technology, as one of the core pathways for SGR conversion, operates on the principle of separating high- and low-salinity solutions using ion-exchange membranes (IEMs). The salinity gradient drives the directional migration of ions, generating an electric current, thereby converting SGR energy into electrical energy. In this process, the magnitude of ion transport resistance directly determines the energy conversion efficiency and power density of the RED system, and is a key factor restricting its industrial feasibility.
[0003] However, the structural characteristics of traditional ion exchange membranes severely restrict efficient ion transport, and their inherent problems directly exacerbate ion transport resistance. Traditional ion exchange membranes, using dense polymer substrates, have tortuous ion diffusion paths and uneven pore sizes, resulting in significant diffusion resistance for ions migrating within the membrane. Simultaneously, the electrostatic repulsion and adsorption on the polymer membrane surface create significant membrane-solution interfacial resistance, hindering ions from entering the membrane phase from the solution phase. More critically, the pore structure of traditional membranes cannot achieve precise confinement and control of ions, further exacerbating ion transport resistance. The superposition of these multiple resistances keeps the ion migration rate of traditional RED systems consistently low, with power densities far below the 5 W / m² threshold required for industrial applications.
[0004] To overcome this constraint, researchers have conducted extensive research on the structural optimization of ion exchange membranes in recent years. The structure of ion exchange membranes has evolved from one-dimensional nanochannels with low flux, dispersed resistance, and poor scalability to two-dimensional layered structures and three-dimensional network architectures with strong channel continuity, controllable interfacial interactions, and easier resistance regulation. Materials that are readily available and easily regulated, such as graphene oxide (GO), MXenes, and montmorillonite, have become ideal carriers for constructing low-resistance angstrom-level ion channels. Their core advantage lies in the ability to specifically reduce the diffusion resistance of the membrane bulk and the membrane-solution interface resistance through material modification and structural optimization. For example, researchers modified GO nanosheets with ionic liquids, which reduced the membrane resistance from 23 KΩ to 13 KΩ, a reduction of 43.4%, and increased the power density from 3.6 W / m² to 6.7 W / m², an increase of 86.1%. In another study, by etching holes on the surface of GO nanosheets, the membrane resistance was reduced from 40 KΩ to 30 KΩ, a reduction of 25%, and the power density was increased from 2 W / m² to 4.53 W / m², an increase of 127.0%.
[0005] While the aforementioned structural optimization and material modification efforts have made significant progress in reducing ion transport resistance and increasing membrane power density, these goals remain constrained by deep-seated physical mechanisms. They are largely limited to macroscopic optimization of channel geometry parameters such as size, pore size, and porosity, without a thorough analysis of the interfacial interaction dynamics between ions and channel walls within the sub-nanometer confined space. Microscopic resistance mechanisms, such as ion adsorption-desorption resistance, hydrated ion desolvation resistance, and charge repulsion resistance, remain unresolved. This results in significant microscopic resistance losses during ion transport within the confined channel, leading to a substantial gap between actual ion transport efficiency and theoretical low-resistance transport efficiency. This lack of understanding of microscopic transport resistance mechanisms prevents existing angstrom-scale channel membranes from achieving efficient, low-resistance ion transport, hindering breakthroughs in power density improvement and ultimately limiting the large-scale application of salinity gradient energy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing a dehydrated drag-reducing ion exchange membrane, the resulting membrane, and its applications. The preparation process is simple, controllable, and widely applicable. The resulting dehydrated drag-reducing ion exchange membrane can achieve significantly improved power density output, showing broad development prospects in industrial applications such as salinity gradient power generation.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows.
[0008] A method for preparing a dehydration-reducing drag-reducing ion exchange membrane involves surface modification using a modifier followed by membrane formation. The modifier is a compound capable of stripping the hydration shell of target ions through specific binding or spatial confinement, selected from hydrocarbons: straight-chain alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, branched alkanes, macrocyclic cupule hydrocarbons, gourd-shaped macrocyclic hydrocarbons, and cyclic oligosaccharide hydrocarbons; ethers: cyclic monocyclic ethers, bicyclic / polycyclic cage ethers, chain polyethers, and cyclic / mixed ethers; amino acids: acidic amino acids, basic amino acids, and hydroxyl / phenolic hydroxyl amino acids; and at least one superionic conductor. The precursor is a two-dimensional nanosheet and / or monomer. The modifier enables the target ions to be transported within the membrane in a near-naked ion form, achieving dehydration-type ion migration.
[0009] Optionally, the modifier is selected from straight-chain alkanes: n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, and n-decane; cycloalkanes: cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and ethylcyclohexane; aromatic hydrocarbons: toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene; branched-chain alkanes: isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and isoheptane; macrocyclic calix hydrocarbons: calix[4]arene, calix[6]arene, p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-tetraacetate, calixpyrrole[4]arene, and 4-sulfonylcalix[4]arene. Cucurbit-shaped macrocyclic hydrocarbons: cucurbit[5]urea, cucurbit[6]urea and cucurbit[7]urea; cyclic oligosaccharide hydrocarbons: α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin; cyclic monocyclic ethers: 18-crown-6, 15-crown-5, 12-crown-4, dibenzo-18-crown-6 and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6; bicyclic / polycyclic cage ethers: [2.2.2]-cavitary ethers and [2.1.1]-cavitary ethers; chain polyethers: diethylene glycol, PEG-200, PEG-400 and PEG-600; cyclic / mixed ethers: tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4-dioxane and anisole; amino acids: aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, tyrosine and serine; superionic conductors: Na3V2(P 1-x B x O4)3、Na3Zr2Si2PO 12 , Na3TiMn (PO4)3 and Na 3.83 V 1.17 Mn 0.58 Ni 0.25 At least one of (PO4)3.
[0010] Optionally, the precursor is a two-dimensional nanosheet, which is dispersed in water to form a dispersion with a concentration of 0.2-10 g / L; the dispersion is mixed with a modifier solution and stirred for 1-12 h, the pH is adjusted, and then filtered to form a membrane, which is then dried to obtain the dehydration drag-reducing ion exchange membrane; wherein the mass of the modifier is 1%-200% of the mass of the two-dimensional nanosheet.

The mass of the modifier is 5%-100% of the mass of the two-dimensional nanosheets, and the pH is adjusted to 9-12.
[0012] In the filtration preparation of dehydration and drag-reducing ion exchange membranes, ultrasonic treatment is a key step to ensure the uniform dispersion of two-dimensional nanosheets. In some specific implementations, the ultrasonic time needs to be controlled at more than 5 minutes, with a typical operating range of 5 to 50 minutes, specifically 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, etc.
[0013] The power of the ultrasonic treatment can be controlled between 100-500W, for example, specific values such as 100W, 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W, 350W, 400W, 450W, 500W, etc., and a range with any two of the above specific values as endpoints.
[0014] In the preparation of dehydration and drag-reducing ion exchange membranes, the surface charge distribution of the precursor can be optimized by adjusting the pH value of the mixture of dispersion and modifier solution, ensuring the material dispersion stability and interface modification effect. Alkali modifiers include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and ammonia (NH3), etc., with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide being selected as examples.
[0015] The above-described filtration process removes excess moisture from the intermediate membrane material through drying. In some specific embodiments, the drying temperature can be 30-60°C, and the drying time can be 30-240 minutes.
[0016] Optionally, the MXenes include Ti3C2T x The metal oxides include one or more of the following: Ti₂C, Ti₂N, Nb₂C, V₂C, Mo₂C, MnB, Fe₂B₂, MoB, and Cr₂B₂; the transition metal sulfides include WS₂ and MoS₂; the clays include one or more of the following: montmorillonite, mica, zeolite, kaolinite, and vermiculite; and the elemental phosphorus includes black phosphorus and / or purple phosphorus.
[0017] Optionally, the two-dimensional nanosheet may have 1-5 layers, specifically a single layer (1 layer), a few layers (2 layers, 3 layers), etc.
[0018] Optionally, the precursor is a monomer, and the preparation method includes introducing the modifier into a membrane material prepared from the monomer, wherein the mass of the modifier is 1%-100% of the mass of the monomer.
[0019] Optionally, the monomer is at least one of MOF monomer, COF monomer, hydrogel monomer, polyionic liquid monomer, and polyterephthalamide nanofibers. The hydrogel monomer is at least one of sodium alginate, chitosan, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, and poly(2-methacrylate phosphate hydroxyethyl ester); the polyionic liquid monomer is at least one of polycyclic quaternary ammonium salt, poly[3-cyanomethyl-1-vinylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide], poly(1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide), poly(methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride), poly(vinylbenzylsulfonic acid triethylammonium salt), poly(1,2-divinylimidazolium dibromide), and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride); the MOF monomer is, for example, ZIF-8 or MIL-101; the COF monomer is, for example, COF-366-Co or COF-1.
[0020] Optionally, the monomer forming membrane material can be formed by interfacial polymerization, solution casting, photopolymerization, etc. The modifier can be introduced by mixing the monomer precursor solution or dispersion with the modifier solution to form a membrane; or by immersing the membrane material in the modifier solution after monomer membrane formation.
[0021] Optionally, before or after the introduction of the modifier, the step of soaking the membrane material in an alkaline solution may be included.
[0022] A dehydration and drag-reducing ion exchange membrane is prepared using the above-described preparation method.
[0023] When the precursor is a two-dimensional nanosheet, the thickness of the dehydration and drag-reducing ion exchange membrane is 1-10 μm, more preferably 1-8 μm. This thickness control stems from the directional stacking behavior of the two-dimensional nanosheet precursor during the filtration process, forming a composite membrane with an ordered layered structure through interlayer self-assembly. This structure constructs a two-dimensional nanoscale fluid channel network within the membrane, providing a confined mass transfer pathway for efficient ion migration. This is a key structural basis for achieving high ion flux, thereby significantly enhancing power generation efficiency.
[0024] When the precursor is a monomer, the thickness of the dehydration and drag reduction type ion exchange membrane is 1-50 μm. The polymer membrane has flexible structural designability and excellent molding and processing performance. By controlling the pore distribution, hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and functional group grafting rate of the membrane material, high ion flux and precise ion sieving can be achieved simultaneously, significantly improving power generation efficiency.
[0025] A permeation energy generating membrane, comprising or made of the above-mentioned dehydration drag-reducing ion exchange membrane.
[0026] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned permeable energy-generating membrane in permeable energy harvesting in river-sea systems (such as river water-high salinity lake, river water-freshwater lake, etc.). For example, the above-mentioned permeable energy-generating membrane can be used as a reverse ion exchange membrane for permeable energy harvesting at river estuaries.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention include:
[0028] The strong binding sites on the modifier exhibit ion-ion binding forces far exceeding those between water molecules and ions, or possess pores with geometric dimensions smaller than hydrated ions. This "pulls" ions out of the hydrated shell, allowing them to escape the binding of hydrated molecules and be transported as bare ions within the two-dimensional nanofluidic channels of the membrane. Compared to ions carrying a hydrated shell, the spatial size of bare ions is significantly reduced, resulting in a substantial decrease in the contact area with the channel walls during migration. This greatly weakens the frictional resistance between ions and the channel, achieving low-resistance and high-efficiency ion transport. Simultaneously, the introduction of the modifier provides additional surface charge, enhancing the membrane's ion-sieving capacity. The preparation method is simple, highly operable, and applicable to various precursors, possessing industrial-scale production potential. The resulting membrane material, as a core component for permeate energy power generation, can achieve an output power density exceeding 5 W / m² (0.5 M / 0.01 M NaCl system), breaking through the bottleneck of permeate energy conversion efficiency in traditional membrane materials. Furthermore, as a high-performance reverse electrodialysis ion exchange membrane, it is suitable for salinity gradient energy capture systems at river-seawater confluences, providing an efficient technological path for renewable energy development.
