Key Points

The aim is to evaluate how the dispersion phase of FeOOH nanorods affects the performance of TFN reverse osmosis membranes.
Investigated the phase dispersion of FeOOH nanorods during interfacial polymerization.
Fabricated thin film nanocomposite membranes with embedded FeOOH nanorods.
Conducted performance testing for desalination efficiency.
Membranes with FeOOH nanorods showed enhanced desalination rates compared to standard configurations.
Optimal dispersion phase was identified, leading to structural integrity and improved performance.

Implication

Demonstrates improved desalination performance in reverse osmosis membranes, indicating significant implications for water purification.

Abstract

The phase (aqueous versus organic) in which FeOOH nanorods are dispersed during interfacial polymerization critically governs the structure and performance of thin film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Embedding...
