A new commercial biomimetic hollow fiber membrane for forward osmosis
Jian Ren,Jeffrey R. McCutcheon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the newly launched Aquaporin Inside™ hollow fiber forward osmosis (FO) membrane from aquaporin A/S, Denmark, which was tested in miniature modules under various osmotic testing conditions.

Ceramic-supported thin film composite membrane for organic solvent nanofiltration
TL;DR: In this paper, a polyamide selective barrier layer was constructed in-situ onto a ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and evaluated the TFC membrane for use in organic solvent nanofiltration.

Flat microliter membrane-based microbial fuel cell as "on-line sticker sensor" for self-supported in situ monitoring of wastewater shocks.
Zhiheng Xu,Bingchuan Liu,Qiuchen Dong,Yu Lei,Yan Li,Jian Ren,Jeffrey R. McCutcheon,Baikun Li +7 more
TL;DR: The flat microliter MMFC has a great potential as "on-line sticker sensor" for real time in situ monitoring of wastewater quality and the robustness of MMFC sensors was validated through 1-month tests.

Large-scale polymeric carbon nanotube membranes with sub-1.27-nm pores.
Robert L. McGinnis,Kevin K. Reimund,Jian Ren,Lingling Xia,Maqsud R. Chowdhury,Xuanhao Sun,Maritza Abril,Joshua D. Moon,Melanie M. Merrick,Jaesung Park,Kevin A. Stevens,Jeffrey R. McCutcheon,Benny D. Freeman +12 more
TL;DR: The membranes show rejection of NaCl and MgSO4 at higher ionic strengths than have previously been reported in CNT membranes, and specific size selectivity for analytes with diameters below 1.24 nm, suggesting that surface diffusion effects may begin to dominate gas selectivity at this size scale.

Relating osmotic performance of thin film composite hollow fiber membranes to support layer surface pore size
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic investigation on the influence of support layer pore size on the osmotic performance of thin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber membranes was conducted.
