Interfacial polymerized polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane has been widely used in wastewater treatment. Despite its high selectivity towards water and solutes, differentiation of solutes with similar size is still a great challenge. Herein, we propose that polyamide nanofiltration membrane with uniform and tunable pores and sub-nm precision selectivity can be achieved through electrospraying strategy via controlling relative humidity (ratio of practical vapor pressure P1 and its saturated vapor pressure P_s). The enhanced relative humidity facilitated the dispersion of piperazine (PIP) monomers on substrate and the reaction with trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The membrane (M78) fabricated at high humidity (70%-80%) exhibited more uniform pore size and narrower size region (0.26 nm-0.49 nm) at a designed rejection difference (e.g., 50%) compared with the membrane (0.26 nm-1.0 nm) obtained at low humidity (30%-40%). Membrane selectivity (e.g., Na2SO4 and NaCl) was an order of magnitude high when humidity increased from 30%-40% to 70%-80%. The current study offered a facile and effective strategy for fabricating polyamide nanofiltration membrane with uniform pores and sub-nm selectivity.
