Herein, a novel positively charged nanofiltration (NF) membrane has been facilely fabricated via a highly
efficient one-step mussel-substance-simulated co-deposition of low-cost catechol and branched
polyetheylenimine (PEI) onto substrates. The co-deposition behaviour, physicochemical properties and
separation performances of resultant membranes can be readily tailored by varying PEI molecular weight.
In particular, the catechol/PEI600 co-deposited NF membrane shows good removals toward dyes, common
salts and heavy metal ions for textile wastewater treatment. Our membranes exhibit high removal efficiency toward cationic dye and metal ions due to the Donnon effect. In addition, EtOH activation process
can greatly enhance the membrane permeance with a factor of 1.8–2.4 without compromising rejection.
Especially, the novel membranes show stable long-term separation performance toward MgCl2removal,
and the dye-fouled co-deposited membranes can be facilely regenerated and reused with a simple static
immersion operation. The co-deposited membrane can perform well in alcohols solvents, indicating its
excellent performance for practically environmentally-friendly usages. The facile strategy disclosed in
our study can provide new opportunities to not only nanofiltration membrane modification but also the
surface engineering of vast kinds of materials towards energy and environmental applications
