Description

Polymer network engineering of membranes for precision ion separation. This project aims to develop a novel polymer network engineering approach to address a longstanding challenge in polymer membranes for precision ion separation. It seeks to provide new insights into the synthesis of stable, functional polymer networks and their impact on ion selectivity and transport properties. Expected outcomes include the development of next-generation polymer-based membranes with superior single-ion separation efficiency, innovative methodologies for polymer membrane fabrication, and enhanced theoretical frameworks for ion transport in confined channels. This research should contribute to Australia’s leadership in sustainable technologies for extracting and recycling critical resources and clean energy materials.. Scheme: Discovery Projects.
