Membrane wetting and fouling are the main challenges that restrain membrane distillation
(MD) from practical applications. Zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) polymers …

Membrane distillation (MD) has prominent advantages such as treating high-salinity
wastewater with a low-grade thermal energy, high salt rejection, and zero discharge …

Photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) has emerged as a promising and sustainable
approach for seawater desalination and wastewater purification. However, the wide …

Photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) has the potential to address freshwater scarcity,
but heat loss during heat transfer from the photothermal surface to the feed bulk inevitably …

Abstract Development of membranes with robust anti-scaling and anti-fouling properties are
highly required for vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) of saline solution. Therefore, we …

Photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) achieves localized temperature increase by
absorbing and converting light energy to drive evaporation and phase change processes. It …
