Applications of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in membrane technologies: A review
Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which are a fascinating class of nanostructured carbons, have recently attracted extensive attention in the field of membrane technologies for their applications in separation processes. This is because they possess two unique advantages. Their productions are facile and inexpensive, while their physicochemical properties such as ultra-small sizes, good biocompatibility, high chemical inertness, tunable hydrophilicity, rich surface functional groups and antifouling characteristics are highly desirable. Leveraging on these, researchers have explored their utilizations in various membrane designs for reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), forward osmosis (FO), pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), membrane distillation (MD), and organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) processes. In particular, CQDs have especially stimulated exploration in the field of water treatment by membrane technologies since biocompatibility of membrane materials is of utmost importance to ensure safety of drinking water. In addition, CQDs are in a favorable position for achieving unprecedented performance of membrane separation processes in water treatment, in the light of substantial efficiency enhancement and antifouling propensity as discovered in recent studies. In this article, we will review the progress in the development of CQD incorporated membranes with discussions on their challenges and perspectives.

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.
