Polyacrylic acid (PAA) grafted CN sheet (P-g-CN) was synthesized to enhance the dispersive properties of carbon nitride (CN) in the membrane. A successful PAA grafting to the CN was confirmed from FTIR, TGA, and Zeta potential and XRD analyses. The A PVA membrane embedded P-g-CN, including a covalently constructed polymer-filler network, was developed to separate ethanol-water mixtures using pervaporation (PV). XPS study has confirmed a covalent attachment of P-g-CN sheets to the PVA matrix. Thereby, a defect-free membrane matrix was observed in the FESEM analysis. A 10 wt% loaded PVA-P-g-CN10 composite membrane was compared to the pristine PVA membrane, demonstrating improved PV dehydration performance. The flux decreased from 0.21 kg/m 2 h of pristine PVA membrane to 0.17 kg/m 2 h of PVA-P-g-CN10 membrane, while the separation factor improved from 49 to 176 in a 90/10 wt % ethanol/water feed at 40 °C. This improvement can be attributed to the selective diffusion of water through the P-g-CN interlayer spacing and tiny triangular nanopores in the s-triazine network, along with their dispersibility in the PVA matrix, resulting in well-ordered membrane morphology. Furthermore, PVA-P-g-CN10 exhibited higher water permeance (43.31-86.07 GPU) than ethanol (1.18-10.47 GPU) as the feed temperature increased from 30 to 70 °C, suggesting P-g-CN successfully inhibits swelling in the feed solution through proper interaction with PVA. In a long-term PV test lasting 250 h, the PVA-P-g-CN10 membrane displayed excellent structural stability and maintained its performance.
