Cellulose-based fabrics are ubiquitous in our daily lives. They are the preferred choice for
bedding materials, active sportswear, and next-to-skin apparels. However, the hydrophilic …

One of the most dangerous types of pollution to the environment is oily wastewater, which is
produced from a number of industrial sources and can cause damage to the environment …

In recent years, the electrospray (ES) technique has emerged as a novel method to fabricate
or modify membranes used in separation processes. The ES technique has the potential to …

Composite membranes with asymmetric traits have gained attention in liquid separation,
featuring gradient chemical and physical attributes that align or oppose mass transfer …

Water purification and water desalination via membrane technology are generally deemed
as reliable supplementaries for abundant potable water. Electrospun nanofiber-based …

The emerging photothermal membrane distillation (PMD), which combines solar harvesting
and heat localization, has the potential to address the water-energy nexus. However, PMD …

Membrane fouling, wetting and scaling are three prominent challenges that severely hinder
the practical applications of membrane distillation (MD). Herein, polyamide/polyvinylidene …

A novel Janus membrane was fabricated by constructing a thin hydrophobic layer with
beads-on-string structure on the surface of superhydrophilic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising membrane process with nearly 100% salt
rejection, which can can realize freshwater recovery and reuse. However, wetting and low …

In this study, an electrohydrodynamic atomization or electrospraying technique is used for
the uniform deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on a commercially available PTFE …
