“…The normalized flux remained at 0.97 during the filtration of moderately-concentrated HA solutions, which confirmed the excellent fouling resistance behavior of the PPA-BN-4 membrane. Since the nitrogen atoms of g-C 3 N 4 form hydrogen bonds with water molecules [138], it was possible to improve the wettability of the membrane, thus improving the hydrophilicity and water flux. Therefore, g-C 3 N 4 showed the potential to reduce membrane contamination [122].…”

Nanofiltration membranes (NF) have been widely used in the field of water treatment because of their advantages of high separation precision, easy operation, and no phase change. Conventional NF membranes, ensnared by the “trade-off” effect, grapple with the challenge of achieving breakthroughs in both separation efficacy and stability. Recent advancements in research have unveiled the potential of nanoscale porous two-dimensional (2D) materials, characterized by their atomic thinness and superlative mechanical strength. These materials, crafted into nanofiltration membranes as thin as a single atom, boast minimal transport resistance and maximal permeation flux, thereby facilitating the highly discerning transport of water, and are heralded as the quintessential materials for fabricating ultra-thin membranes. This comprehensive review delves into the latest advancements in the research on 2D material NF membranes. A range of performance aspects related to 2D-material-modified NF membranes, including water flux, permeability, pollutant retention rates, and anti-pollution performance, were evaluated, and this review covers the impact of and major approaches to optimizing membrane performance in recent years, providing valuable insights into potential future developments in NF membranes.

Organic pollutants in water pose significant challenges for water treatment due to their harmful effects and resistance to conventional methods. The rapid increase in industrial wastewater discharge has heightened the need for effective pollutant degradation techniques. Photo‐Fenton technology, an advanced oxidation process, has gained attention for its ability to degrade a wide range of organic contaminants in water. Developing high‐performance photo‐Fenton catalysts is therefore crucial. Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) stands out in this field due to its suitable energy band structure, stable properties, and simple synthesis process. However, its application is limited by a low specific surface area, narrow light absorption, and high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. This review provides a concise overview of current research on g‐C3N4 in photo‐Fenton technology, covering synthesis methods, modifications, and the mechanisms enhancing its photo‐Fenton activity. It also highlights key factors affecting g‐C3N4’s effectiveness in photo‐Fenton reactions and discusses recent advancements in its applications. The review concludes with an analysis of existing challenges and potential future directions for g‐C3N4‐based photo‐Fenton catalysts, offering theoretical insights to advance their industrial use in wastewater treatment.
