High-Flux Graphene Oxide Nanofiltration Membrane Intercalated by Carbon Nanotubes
Indexed incrossrefpubmed
Abstract
A sort of novel high-flux nanofiltration membrane was fabricated by synergistic assembling of graphene and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), in which graphene played the role of molecular sieving and MWNTs expanded the interlayer space between neighbored graphene sheets. The MWNT-intercalated graphene nanofiltration membrane (G-CNTm) showed a water flux up to 11.3 L m(-2) h(-1) bar(-1), more than 2 times that of the neat graphene nanofiltration membrane (GNm), while keeping high dye rejection (>99% for Direct Yellow and >96% Methyl Orange). The G-CNTm also showed good rejection ratio for salt ions (i.e., 83.5% for Na2SO4, 51.4% for NaCl). We also explored the antifouling performance of G-CNTm and GNm with…
