Layer by layer (LbL) is a simple and versatile technique for the preparation of an ultrathin layer of composite membrane but the conventional dip-assisted LbL deposition is time consuming. In this study, an accelerated LbL assembly based on spray-on technique was successfully adopted to modify the s...
