Rational design of sustainable thin-film composite membranes: Computational and experimental investigation of deep eutectic solvents as a green alternative to hexane for enhanced d... by Muhammad Akmal Rana, Farwah Hassan, Rahma Tamime, Palwasha Khan, Aqeel Ahmed Bazmi, Muhammad Yasin, Mazhar Amjad Gilani, Faheem Hassan Akhtar, Muhammad Aslam, Muhammad Bilal K. Niazi, Hamad AlMohamadi, Asim Laeeq Khan

“…This study introduces a novel approach for fabricating thin-film composite (TFC) membranes by replacing hexane with deep eutectic solvents (DES) as the organic phase in interfacial polymerization. A DES composed of DL-menthol and lauric acid was identified as the most promising alternative through computational screening, which demonstrated its superior solubility, higher capacity and significantly stronger interaction energy for DES-TMC (−19.8 kcal/mol) compared to hexane-TMC (−6.4 kcal/mol). …”
