The role of lateral size of MXene nanosheets in membrane filtration of dyeing wastewater: Membrane characteristic and performance

Jing Xiang et al.

Summary: The influence of the lateral size of MXene nanosheets on the performance of MXene membranes was investigated. It was found that MXene(S)-M membrane with the smallest lateral size exhibited the largest surface roughness and reduced surface hydrophilicity, resulting in the highest water permeance due to its shortest mass transfer pathway. On the other hand, MXene(L)-M and MXene(M)-M membranes with larger lateral size promoted higher dye rejection due to their longer mass transport pathway.
