This study discloses the role of 2D materials, including graphene and beyond graphene, in membranes designed to water desalination. Nanocomposite membranes have been tailored and tested in membrane distillation (MD) and membrane crystallization (MCr) plants under different working conditions. Experimental studies and modelling have been combined to evaluate effects on water diffusion and ion aggregation, thus providing new insightful indication about the great potential of 2D materials in fruitful and competitive membrane water desalination.

Abstract
This study discloses the role of 2D materials, including graphene and beyond graphene, in membranes designed to water desalination. Nanocomposite membranes have been tailored and tested in membrane distillation (MD) and membrane crystallization (MCr) plants under different working conditions. Experimental studies and modelling have been combined to evaluate effects on water diffusion and ion aggregation, thus providing new insightful indication about the great potential of 2D materials in fruitful and competitive membrane water desalination.File in questo prodotto:
