Electrochemical Synthesis of Ultrathin Film Composite Membranes

Abstract

Ultrathin film composite membranes consist of an ultrathin (less than 1,000 A-thickness) chemically-selective layer bonded to the surface of a microporous support membrane. Such composite membranes are important in electrochemical science because they can provide both high transport selectivity and low membrane resistance. This is possible because, while the chemically selective layer typically has high resistivity, its ultrathin nature insures that it has low resistance. We have been exploring new methods for synthesizing ultrathin film composite membranes, and we have been investigating the transport properties of the resulting composite membranes. This research effort has been extremely successful.
