Building rapid water transport channels within thin-film nanocomposite membranes based on 2D mesoporous nanosheets

Sachin Karki et al.

Summary: Novel TFN membranes were developed by incorporating amine-rich synthetic talc (NHST) nanosheets within diethylenetriamine (DETA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) monomers over a polydopamine (PDA) coating layer. The in-situ synthesized NHST nanosheet phases were confirmed by various characterization techniques, and the results showed improved permeability and rejection with a small amount of NHST doping in the TFN layer.
