    Nano-Enhanced Membranes for Efficient Water Desalination
    Author(s): Ylva Norling*

    Water scarcity is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today, with significant implications for agriculture, industry, and daily life. Desalination, the process of removing salt and other impurities from seawater, offers a potential solution to this issue. Traditional desalination technologies, such as reverse osmosis (RO), have limitations, including high energy consumption and fouling of membranes. Nano-enhanced membranes, which incorporate nanomaterials to improve the performance of conventional membrane materials, have emerged as an innovative solution for enhancing desalination efficiency. These advanced membranes, made by incorporating nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), offer superior water flux, salt rejection, fouling resistance, and energy eff..
