“…Membrane modification or special coating might be done to enhance the mass transfer through the membrane thus improving the MD/MCr performance [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In this regard, graphene flakes, due to their attractive hydrophobic and anti-wetting nature, anti-fouling properties, and selective sorption of water vapours, were used for the preparation of composite PVDF membranes [ 12 , 13 , 14 ] and tested in MD and MCr processes [ 7 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Recently, other transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDCs) are being introduced in PVDF-based membranes to enhance the performance of MD and MCr, too [ 16 , 20 ].…”
