Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging technology for the desalination of brines. In some
cases, liquid penetrates into the pores of the membrane, causing pore wetting. MD's …

Porous Janus materials have attracted widespread attention due to their asymmetry in
wettability, charge, pore size or structure, thermal/electrical conductivity, and chemical …

Abstract Layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly is a versatile technology with the ability to produce
charged thin film active layers by absorbing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes or …

Hydrophobic membranes used in membrane distillation (MD) systems are often subject to
wetting during long-term operation. Thus, it is of great importance to fully understand factors …

Membrane distillation (MD) is considered a promising technology that is expected to
compete with reverse osmosis (RO) for water desalination. The superiority of MD is mainly …

Janus wettability membranes have received much attention because of their asymmetric
surface wettability. On the basis of this distinctiveness from traditional symmetrical …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising hybrid thermal-membrane separation technology
that can efficiently produce freshwater from seawater or contaminated wastewater. However …

The treatment of oil or surfactant-containing wastewater emitted from diverse sources is
imperative to meet the ever-growing requirement of clean and drinking water. Membrane …

Membrane distillation (MD) is considered to be rather promising for high-salinity wastewater
reclamation. However, its practical viability is seriously challenged by membrane wetting …

Currently, Janus membranes have attracted growing attention in oil-water separation due to
the unique asymmetric wettability on opposite two surfaces. Nevertheless, it is still …
