1. A membrane comprising:
a fiber skeletal structure of three-dimensionally interwoven and interconnected polymer fibers, and nano-scale protrusions which are distributed on and integrally formed with the fiber skeletal structure,
wherein:
the fiber skeletal structure and the nano-scale protrusions comprise a first polymer and a second polymer,
the first polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polysulfone, polyethersulfone, sulfonated polyethersulfone, polyacrylonitrile, cellulose acetate, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyimide, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, polyvinylidene fluoride modified by acrylic acid grafting, sulfonated polysulfone, maleic anhydride-grafted polysulfone, sulfonated polyethersulfone, and acrylic acid-grafted polyacrylonitrile, and
the second polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of chitosan, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether block copolymer;
and
wherein:
a three-dimensionally interpenetrating network pore structure is distributed in the fiber skeletal structure, an average pore size of the pores is in a range of 0.1 μm to 10 μm,
a size of protrusions is in the range of from 20 to 400 nm, and
a volume porosity of the membrane is 50%-95%.
