Improving the performance of polyamide reverse osmosis membrane by incorporation of modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (2014, background): “With the advancement of nanotechnology nowadays, porous nano-materials may be produced as a new class of additives, especially zeolite [16–21] and carbon nanotubes [22–27], and this is expected to provide a chance to further improve the performance of RO membranes.”
Carbon nanotubes for desalination: Performance evaluation and current hurdles (2013, background): “Research on the transport of water through CNTs demonstrated that water flux through the hollowed structure is over three fold of magnitudes due to the atomically smooth and hydrophobic wall that allows considerable slip of water through the hollow channels [16,17].”
Fluids at the Nanoscale: From Continuum to Subcontinuum Transport (2020, background): “However, this effect is not expected to play a decisive role in single-file transport through short channels, where vacancies are unlikely to occur (Kalra et al. (2003)).”
Impermeability of graphene and its applications (2013, background): “frictionless motion thought the CNT, the chemistry of the tip of the CNT influences the selectivity [67].”
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/polysulfone (PSU) mixed matrix hollow fiber membranes for enhanced water treatment (2013, background): “Recently, Gerhard and co-workers [9] reported the osmotically driven transport of water molecules through CNTs, suggesting an exciting opportunity of using nanotube networks and assemblies for high efficiency water filtration.”
Nanofluidics in carbon nanotubes (2007, result): “[6] reported a through carbon nanotube comparable to the flow rate measured for the transmembrane protein aquaporin-1, and are practically independent of the length of the nanotube, in contrast to predictions of macroscopic hydrodynamics.”
