Abstract

Abstract:

Water saving and protection are very important for the sustainable use of water resources. Graphene, a two-dimensional monolayer sheet of sp²-bonded carbon atoms, has been widely used in water treatment in recent years due to its extraordinary electrical, mechanical, thermal properties, large specific surface area, and relatively low manufacturing cost. This paper summarized the recent advances in the synthesis and applications of graphene membrane in water treatment, and discussed the main problems and developmental trend.

Key words: graphene membrane, water treatment, filter, capacitive deionization
