The emergence of nano innovations in membrane distillation (MD) has garnered increasing scientific interest. This enabled the exploration of state‐of‐the‐art nano‐enabled MD membranes with desirable properties, which significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of the MD process and open up opportunities for achieving sustainable water‐energy‐environment (WEE) nexus. This comprehensive review provides broad coverage and in‐depth analysis of recent innovations in nano‐enabled MD membranes, focusing on their role in achieving desirable properties, such as strong liquid‐repellence, high resistance to scaling, fouling, and wetting, as well as efficient self‐heating and self‐cleaning functionalities. The recent developments in nano‐enhanced photothermal‐catalytic applications for water‐energy co‐generation within a single MD system are also discussed. Furthermore, we identify the bottlenecks that impede the scale‐up of nano‐enhanced MD membranes and propose a future roadmap for their sustainable commercialization. This holistic overview is expected to inspire future research and development efforts to fully harness the potential of nano‐enabled MD membranes to achieve sustainable integration of water, energy, and the environment.This article is protected by copyright.

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) serves as a crucial optical technique in the realm of chemical sensing. Under specific conditions, the reflectivity of a thin metal film exhibits an exceptional sensitivity to optical changes in the medium on one side. In this investigation, we propose and simulate a plasmonic sensor incorporating a silicon nitride grating with Ag layers for the detection of solution and gas at an optical communication wavelength of 1550 nm. In both cases of the surface diffraction-grating, there is a notable enhancement in angular sensitivity compared to conventional prism-coupled configurations. Simulations, employing rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA), highlight that the suggested sensor, optimized in design parameters, offers notably superior sensitivity, a lower detection limit, and a higher figure of merit (FOM) than existing grating-based SPR sensors. This implies the potential realization of refractive index sensors with a high figure of merit through such streamlined and compact configurations.
