Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The synthesis of high selectivity and permeance thin-film composite (TFC) membranes frequently encounters a significant challenge in balancing the permeance-selectivity trade-off. Recent research has demonstrated that the incorporating of nanomaterials into fabricated thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes is a feasible strategy to overcome this permeance-selectivity trade-off. Here we proposed using calcium carbonate nanoparticles (n-CaCO 3 ) as organic phase additives to modulate interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction to prepare TFN membrane. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was employed to explore the effects of n-CaCO 3 addition on the dispersion of organic phase monomers and on the diffusion of water phase monomers. The prepared TFN membrane (TFN-0.03) loaded with very little n-CaCO 3 (0.03 wt%) exhibited a high permeability of 16.9 ± 0.5 L m −2 h −1 bar −1, which was 1.7 times greater than that of the TFC membrane, and also maintained a high selectivity (Na 2 SO 4 rejection: 98.8 %). Our work furnishes the theoretical and experimental basis for the development of high performance TFN nanofiltration (NF) membranes.
