Graphene and related 2D materials for desalination : A review of recent patents

Abstract: <p></p><p>The growing population and energy demand, coupled with the depleting fresh water resources has resulted in great progress in sea water desalination (SWD) technologies. Nanopores of 2D materials like graphene and its structural analogs are the latest innovations in membrane technology for SWD. The performance of these novel atomically thin nanopores as seen from various experimental and theoretical studies is highly encouraging with reports of water permeability 2-3 orders of magnitu… Show more

“…Traditional methods of desalination technologies include multistage flash (MSF), reverse osmosis (RO), multistep distillation, and electro-deionization [6]. Other emerging innovative solutions include nonporous graphene [7], graphene oxide [8], BN and MoS 2 membranes [9,10], electrodialysis [11], RO that uses graphene grafted antifouling membranes [12] and capacitive deionization (CDI). CDI is an energy and cost-efficient technology for removing low amounts of salt from water [6,9,[13][14][15][16].…”
