Microalgal bioenergy holds potential for carbon sequestration and clean energy production.Particularly,attached microalgal cultivation shows significant promise,yet poor adhesion to material surfaces remains a challenge.To address this,cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were modified with cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) to enhance microalgal adhesion and the influence of membrane surface properties on microalgal adhesion was investigated based on thermodynamics and xDLVO theory.Results demonstrated that CPAM modification successfully shifted the zeta potential of CA membranes from negative to positive,effectively reducing electrostatic interactions and total interfacial energy.Adhesion experiments confirmed that CPAM modification improved initial microalgal adhesion within the first 48 hours,with the CA/CPAM1 membrane showing optimal performance,achieving a cumulative biomass of 17.946 g/m2 by day 7.However,evolving membrane surface properties and culture conditions subsequently reduced adhesion efficacy.
