Exfoliated 2D materials combined with polymeric membranes for sustainable water desalination

...2D materials engineered membranes equipping MD/MCr devices are discussed with reference to exfoliated 2D materials quality and working conditions. Comparative analyses are argued assessing events, which regulate mass transfer mechanisms, nucleation and growth step for crystals formation and supplementary energy to the processes. This work provides new insightful indication about the great potential of exfoliated few-layers 2D materials in membranes designed for equipping developed MD/MCr devices dedicated to a fruitful supply of fresh water and high-quality minerals.
