Description
Summary:UiO-66 nanoparticles are considered highly potential fillers for the application in desalination membranes. In this study, UiO-66 nanoparticles were anchored to PES membrane substrates, which were subsequently subjected to the interfacial polymerization reaction to coat a layer of polyamide (PA) on their surface. For comparison, a blank membrane incorporating no UiO-66 and a reference membrane incorporating ZrO (instead of UiO-66) were prepared. All prepared membranes were tested for their desalination performance. The membranes containing UiO-66 were found to outperform the blank and the reference counterparts. The reason for this outperformance is possibly attributed to the hydrophilicity of UiO-66 nanoparticles and the presence of nanochannels in their structure.
