Graphene oxide based materials for desalination

Nowadays, water shortage has become an ever-increasing severe problem for human beings. Lately, there has been exciting progress in two different ways for desalination, namely, interfacial solar evaporation and film filtration. Graphene oxide based film is playing a critical role in both developments due to its high absorption, porous structure, high chemical stability, hydrophilicity, and excellent anti-fouling properties. In this works, we first introduce the mechanisms and key requirements for interfacial solar evaporation and filtration based desalination, and then explain how various forms of graphene oxide can be tailored for both types of desalination. Then, we summarize and discuss recent researches concerning both relevant technology advances and persisting problems, and finally provide a prospective view.
