Forward osmosis (FO), as a promising membrane separation technology, has attracted much attention, whose performance is strongly dependent on the structure and property of FO membrane. Thin film composite (TFC) FO membrane, consisting of a thin film and a porous substrate, is commonly used for FO process due to its high water permeability. Nevertheless, TFC FO membrane still suffers from a trade-off between water permeability and salt rejection, which limits the further application of FO process. Recently, constructing an interlayer between the thin film and the porous substrate has been reported as an effective way to improve the performance of TFC membranes. Herein, a novel TFC FO membrane was prepared by using a polydopamine/polyethyleneimine (PDA/PEI) co-deposition interlayer on cellulose triacetate (CTA) porous substrate followed by an interfacial polymerization. The surface structures and properties of CTA substrates and TFC membranes were systematically investigated by FTIR/ATR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atom electron microscopy, solute rejection method, and water contact angle test. Compared with CTA substrate and PDA modified CTA substrate, the surface of CTA substrate deposited by PDA/PEI interlayer becomes smooth and has a narrow surface pore size distribution as well as small surface pore size of (30.0 ± 4.1) nm. Meanwhile, the polyamide film formed on the PDA/PEI co-deposition interlayer presents a uniform leaf-like structure and excellent hydrophilicity. Therefore, TFC FO membrane with PDA/PEI co-deposition interlayer achieves an improved water flux of (7.1 ± 2.3) L/(m²·h), rising by 57.6% compared with nascent TFC FO membrane; a low reverse salt flux of (1.4 ± 0.1) g/(m²·h), and a small specific salt flux of (0.2 ± 0.06) g/L, decreasing by 83.9% and 90.6%, respectively. It means that PDA/PEI co-deposition interlayer facilitates to improve both water permeability and selectivity of TFC FO membrane. This work proposes an effective modification method for improving the performance of TFC FO membrane by using PDA/PEI co-deposition interlayer.
