A new strategy to accelerate co-deposition of plant polyphenol and amine for fabrication of antibacterial nanofiltration membranes by in-situ grown Ag nanoparticles

Due to the far cheaper price than polydopamine, plant polyphenol and amine have been widely used for mussel-inspired chemistry. However, co-deposition of them still suffers the problem of long co-deposition time owning to the slow dissolution and diffusion of oxygen in solution. Herein, we reported an interesting strategy regarding addition of AgNO3 as both oxidant and Ag precursor into co-deposition of tannic acid and diethylenetriamine for...
