ABSTRACT
Various products for water treatment and current desalination membrane species constitute atomically thin structures with high mechanical strength and large two-dimensional (2D) nanoporous areas. The recent advancements in nanoporous graphene-based species have generated massive interest in water management. Growth of nanoporous graphene, as well as graphene oxide (GO) membranes, graphene mechanism molecular sieve action, structural design, hydrophilic nature, antifouling properties, mechanical strength, and primary contests associated with nanopore growth, is a portion of this study. 2D-enabled membrane groups and probable materials for 2D-enabled membranes are investigated. Following that, modern applications and progress of recently grown 2D materials comprising graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), tungsten chalcogenides (WS2), boron nitride (BN), and titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) are highlighted. In addition, the concept is evaluated and applied to 2D nanostructures for water processing. While there have been relatively few materials discovered in 2D for water treatment applications so far, in the near future it is believed that there will be a large supply of these products.
