Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Membranes with selective separation capability are desirable for use in energy-efficient processes. In this study, a filamentous virus-based membrane prepared by chemical cross-linking at liquid/liquid interfaces for selective molecular separation was achieved. The virus membrane composed of oriented virus assemblies showed a molecularly porous structure, enabling the size-selective separation of small organic compounds. Furthermore, the pore structure was controlled by the initial concentration of virus solution, enabling broad size selectivity. Membrane preparation using virus modified with neodymium ions (Nd3+)-binding peptides was performed. The membrane preferentially adsorbed Nd3+ over iron ions (Fe3+), demonstrating that the molecular recognition capability of the peptide clearly remained even after the chemical cross-linking reaction. This broad-spectrum separation membrane has potential applicability in various fields.
