Journal ArticleDOI
Materials for next-generation desalination and water purification membranes
TL;DR: In this article, molecular-level design approaches for membrane materials, focusing on how these materials address the urgent requirements of water treatment applications, are reviewed for water scarcity and the pollution of aquatic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forward osmosis: Where are we now?
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy efficiency of the forward osmosis (FO) process is analyzed and the potential use of low-cost energy sources is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of the structural parameter, reverse solute flux selectivity, and the constraints imposed by the permeability selectivity tradeoff.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Critical Need for Increased Selectivity, Not Increased Water Permeability, for Desalination Membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes is presented, highlighting and providing context for recent module-scale modeling studies that have found limited impact of increased water permeability on the efficiency of desalination processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The orientation-dependent interaction of GBNs with bacteria using GO composite films is investigated, and substantial GO-induced oxidation of glutathione, a model intracellular antioxidant, paired with limited generation of reactive oxygen species is found, suggesting that oxidation occurs through a direct electron-transfer mechanism.
