Insights into the biological channels and synthetic pore-forming assemblies have elucidated many fundamental aspects of selective water and solute transport over the last few decades. This has led to the development of novel technologies with unique selectivity and permeability. In terms of membrane separation technology, this development has proceeded by adapting either of two approaches: (i) one where biological channel proteins are reconstituted in suitable materials mimicking the biological bilayer membrane and (ii) one where selective transport is mimicked in synthetic structures. The development of water filtration membranes in the former approach takes advantage of aquaporin proteins as representative building blocks and that of carbon nanotubes and molecular pore-forming assemblies in the latter approach. The first approach is often referred to as the field dominated by biomimetic membranes and the latter referred to as artificial water channels. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to investigate trends in these two areas based on growing publication trends, peer-reviewed journal selection, countries, institutions, authors, and collaborative networks. A total of 3199 records available from Scopus between 1962 and 2021 were extracted and analyzed. The results showed strong international collaborations and highlighted leading researchers and hubs of excellence in these two areas. This is very timely considering that the UN climate change conference (COP26) in Glasgow, UK later this year will bring focus to the global need for water treatment technologies. This work can serve as a quick reference for early-career researchers and industries working in the area of membrane development for water purification/filtration.

用于水过滤的仿生和仿生膜的文献计量学研究

在过去的几十年中,对生物通道和合成成孔组件的深入了解阐明了选择性水和溶质运输的许多基本方面。这导致了具有独特选择性和渗透性的新技术的发展。在膜分离技术方面,这一发展通过采用两种方法中的任何一种进行:(i) 一种在模拟生物双层膜的合适材料中重建生物通道蛋白,以及 (ii) 在合成结构中模拟选择性运输。前一种方法中水过滤膜的开发利用水通道蛋白作为代表性构建块,后一种方法中利用碳纳米管和分子孔形成组件。仿生膜,后者称为人工水道. 在这项研究中,基于不断增长的出版趋势、同行评审的期刊选择、国家、机构、作者和合作网络,进行了文献计量分析来调查这两个领域的趋势。提取和分析了 1962 年至 2021 年间 Scopus 提供的总共 3199 条记录。结果显示了强大的国际合作,并突出了这两个领域的领先研究人员和卓越中心。考虑到今年晚些时候在英国格拉斯哥举行的联合国气候变化会议 (COP26) 将重点关注全球对水处理技术的需求,这是非常及时的。这项工作可以作为在水净化/过滤膜开发领域工作的早期研究人员和行业的快速参考。
