摘要/Abstract

摘要： The emerging two-dimensional (2D) membranes offer a promising way to improve the water desalination performance of traditional membranes. MXene/graphene oxide (GO) composite membrane are known for their high separation performance and structural stability. In this study, molecular simulations are performed to investigate the desalination performance of the 2D MXene/GO membrane. The results reveal that the surface of the MXene nanosheet could induce the formation of ordered water structures, thereby accelerating the water transport in the 2D membrane. The higher rejection rate would be found in MXene/GO membrane with a larger GO oxidation degree owing to the steric-hindrance effect induced by the functional groups on the GO surface. Overall, the MXene/GO(20) membrane with the interlayer spacing of 0.9 nm shows the highest water permeability (37.22 × 10^-7 L·m^-1·h^-1·bar^-1, 1 bar = 0.1 MPa) and a salt rejection of 100%. The results could provide theoretical insights for developing 2D membranes for water desalination.
