Nanomaterial Enhanced PVDF Mixed Matrix Membranes for Microfluidic Electrochemical Desalination.

ABSTRACT: This work provides a systematic experimental study for the electrochemical desalination of saline water using an electrospun permselective polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. Several nano additives were initially screened during membrane development; however, only the materials that demonstrated stable dispersion, reproducible membrane formation, and consistent electrochemical behaviour, namely graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were selected for full analysis in this study. Accordingly, the study focuses on pure PVDF, PVDF/GO, and PVDF/CNTs membranes integrated with an alternating Ag/AgCl electrode system. The silver electrode is prepared by spray-coating of silver nanoparticles on high surface carbon cloth, whereas the AgCl electrode was prepared electrochemically fro
