Fabrication of reduced graphene oxide membranes for water desalination

Abstract

Abstract Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has huge potential for membrane applications owing to its appropriate interlayer spacing (0.34–0.37 nm) that enables it to block salt ions as small as Na+ with high precision. However, fabrication of uniform rGO membranes is a great challenge because of the loss of its polar functional groups during preparation from graphene oxide (GO). Although there have been several studies on GO membranes and a few on rGO for water purification, very few attempts to understand the role of oxygen-containing functional groups in successful rGO membrane formation. The present work deals with the investigation of the key factors and functional groups that govern membrane formation. This work also utilizes the facile approach of synthesizing reduced GO by environmentally viable hydrothermal reduction. Further characterizations show that the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups are principally responsible for the formation of uniform rGO membranes. The rGO (treated at 160°C for 2 h) membrane with a small amount of unreduced GO presented shows the lowest Na+/Cl- ion permeation with the highest membrane flux, which is suggested to be a potential candidate for water desalination.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
