“…During the last 10 years, the notable use of copper-based materials for modifying MF [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ], UF [ 28 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ], NF [ 42 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ], forward osmosis (FO) [ 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ] and RO membranes [ 14 , 21 , 27 , 32 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 ] has attained much attention by the scientific community (according to the search strategy and eligibility criteria used, see Supplementary Materials , Prisma checklist, Prisma flow diagram and SRProtocol). The combination of these polymeric membranes with copper materials such as metallic and oxides nanoparticles, salts, composites, metal-polymer complex, and coordination polymers, offer a solution against biofouling formation, and, in addition, promote the improvement of other membrane properties.…”
