Energy-efficient desalination and water treatment technologies play a critical role in
augmenting freshwater resources without placing an excessive strain on limited energy …

Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

Water scarcity is a grand challenge that requires continuous exploration of new desalination
technologies in order to augment the global supply of fresh water. In this context, membrane …

In this study, we produced a super hydrophobic and oleophobic cellulose nanofiber
membrane by reducing the surface energy of the membrane through the attachment of …

One of the main reasons that have limited industrialization of membrane distillation (MD) for
water desalination application is the lack of a proper membrane that could exhibit long-term …

Membrane distillation (MD) has recently attracted attention as a promising solution to the
freshwater crisis. We report a pore-size tunable superhydrophobic membrane for application …

Water scarcity is especially impactful in remote and impoverished communities without
