We performed nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations and solvent
permeation experiments to unravel the mechanism of water transport in reverse osmosis …

Understanding the salt–water separation mechanisms of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes
is critical for the further development and optimization of RO technology. The solution …

While electrodialysis (ED) demonstrates lower energy consumption than reverse osmosis
(RO) in the desalination of low salinity waters, RO continues to be the predominant …

Reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodialysis (ED) are the two most important membrane
technologies for water desalination and treatment. Their desalination and transport …

Though electrodialysis (ED) and reverse osmosis (RO) are both mature, proven
technologies for brackish water desalination, RO is currently utilized to desalinate over an …

In recent years, the development of nanopore-based membranes has revitalized the
prospect of harvesting salinity gradient (blue) energy. In this study, we systematically …

Desalination could solve the grand challenge of water scarcity, but materials-based and
conventional thermal desalination methods generally suffer from scaling, fouling and …

Electrodialysis is a promising technology to remove low concentrations of target ions from
multi-ionic mixtures. While the synthesis of selective membranes is a prominent topic in …
