In the study of synthesizing LbL FO membranes, the membrane substrate was firstly tailored (high porosity, finger-like pores, thin thickness, and high hydrophilicity) to achieve a small structural parameter of 0.5 mm. Secondly, the polyelectrolyte layers were deposited on the support membrane top su...
