Carbon nanohorn improved durable PVDF membranes-The future of membrane distillation and desalination

Joanna Kujawa et al.

Summary: Novel durable, hybrid separation materials were generated based on PVDF support and single walled nanohorn (SWCNH) through a simple and efficient method. Different types of SWCNH, including pristine, ultrasound-treated, and oxidized, were applied to cover the PVDF material and characterized extensively. The materials showed improved performance in membrane distillation for desalination, with the ability to control wettability and material performance through the simple pretreatment method. The hybrid membranes exhibited enhanced permeate flux, ranging from 14-27% improvement for pristine and ultrasound-treated SWCNH, and 23% improvement for oxidized SWCNH. The structure of the hybrids allowed for the creation of separation materials with a wide range of wetting properties, from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic.
