Cationic dendrimer-directed pore architecture in polyamide membranes for tunable ion separation.
Precise ion separation is fundamentally constrained by the disordered nanochannel and heterogeneous charge. Here, we report a dendrimer-directed strategy for engineering confined nanochannels and regulated charge environments within polyamide nanofilms. Self-assembled quaternary ammonium imidazole dendrimers (QASIDs) a...
