Evidence Details

Additional source evidence

Additional source evidence: source values include 71.02 L, 227.37 L, 99.66%, 93.3%. Entities: COF-SO3H.

Stability evidence

Stability evidence: source values include 0.50 nm, 0.57 nm, 473.0 °C. Entities: COF-SO3H, FT-IR, S-N.

Stability evidence

Stability evidence: source values include 30 g, 57.48 L, 93%.

Source evidence

As the immersion time increased from 0 to 14 days, the COF-SO3H + DA/PA membrane still maintained a comparable Na2SO4 rejection of 96 %. In contrast, during the long-term exposure to the acidic environment, the Na2SO4 rejection of the control PA membrane decreased to 7.1 %.

Abstract evidence

The NF membrane exhibited a water permeance of 77.60 L·m−2·h−1·MPa−1. This value was an order magnitude higher than that of the pristine PA membrane, while achieving a high Na2SO4 rejection of 99.8 %.

Source evidence

When the loading amount of COF-SO3H nanosheets increased to 8.0 μg⋅cm−2, the pure water permeance of the NF membrane notably improved from 71.02 L⋅m−2⋅h−1⋅MPa−1 to 227.37 L⋅m−2⋅h−1⋅MPa−1.

Source evidence

The COF-SO3H + DA/PA membrane displayed a significant difference between the monovalent Li+ rejection of 43.7 % and the divalent metal ion rejections of over 95 %.

Source evidence

COF-SO3H was subjected to ultrasonic exfoliation in Tris-HCl solution (10 mM, pH 8.5) using a probe of ultrasonic homogenizer under 600 W for 60 min.

Source evidence

The reaction vessel was sealed under a nitrogen atmosphere and reacted at 120 ℃ for 72 h.

Additional source evidence

Additional source evidence: source values include 15 g, 77.60 L, 99.8%.

Additional source evidence

Additional source evidence: source values include 43.7%, 95%, 80%.

Equipment evidence

The crude product was isolated via centrifugation and subsequently purified by deionized water, dimethylacetamide and acetone (Microwave-ultrasound synergistic synthesizer, XH-300PE, Xianghu, China).
