Design Rules of Monolayer Composite Thin Films As Catalytic Protective Barriers
Abstract
Although it is reasonable to extrapolate that diversifying RHP sidechain chemistry in a controlled manner may lead to catalytically active membranes as barrier layer for PPEs against CWA, there are many unanswered questions. There are clear needs to develop insights of RHPs at various length scales and time scales once adsorbed onto the porous particles and form a monolayer membrane and characterize the phase behavior of RHP-covered nanoparticles. It is also important to understand their 2-D self-assembly and correlate with the macroscopic properties including catalytic activity, gas permeability and mechanical properties. Here, we assemble a team with complementary expertise in RHP-covered nanoparticles, MOF nanocrystal synthesis and mixed matrix membrane, computation, quantification of mechanical properties of RHP-MOF monolayer membranes, and structural characterization.
