Salt-modified MXene membrane for ultrafast and efficient cationic and anionic dyes removal

Fuja Sagita et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the successful modification of MXene membranes using chloride salts to enhance their performance in dye separation. The KCl-modified MXene membrane showed the highest flux and complete rejection for MB filtration, while the MgCl2-modified MXene membrane exhibited the best performance for CR filtration. All MXene membranes showed high flux-recovery ratios and low fouling, indicating excellent anti-fouling properties.
