The addition of Ag-SiO2 can significantly improve the hydrophilicity, separation property, anti-fouling ability, and especially anti-bacterial activityof hybridmembranes. The optimumperformance of the Ag-SiO2\/PSf hybrid membrane is achieved when the concentration of Ag-SiO2 is as low as 0.45 wt%. Compared with PSf membrane and SiO2\/PSf hybrid membrane, the Ag-SiO2\/PSf hybrid membrane displays the best overall properties. The excellent performance of the Ag-SiO2\/PSf hybrid membrane can be attributed to the well-tailored structure and unique property of Ag-SiO2 nanohybrid, where nanosized Ag (5 nm) can densely and uniformly disperse on the surface of silica spheres. The obtained membrane could be a promising material for water treatment. \u00a9 IWA Publishing 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/wh.2017.234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOI:\u00a010.2166\/wh.2017.234<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal of Water and Health Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2017, Pages 341-352,\u00a0ISSN: 14778920 Wu, H., Huang, J., Liu, Y. &nbsp; Abstract An anti-fouling hybrid membrane was prepared by incorporating Ag-SiO2 nanohybrid into a polysulfone (PSf) matrix.
