Abstract
Nanomaterials have been commonly employed to enhance the performance of polymeric membrane materials that are used in several industrial applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have gained notable attention over the years for use in membrane technology due to their anti-biofouling properties, salt rejection capability, exceptional electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties. This paper aims to discuss some of the recent applications of CNTs in membrane technology and their effect on a larger scale. The paper reviews successful case studies of incorporation of CNTs in membranes and their impact on water purification, desalination, gas separations, and energy storage, in an effort to provide a better understanding of their capabilities. Regarding the future trends of this technology, this review emphasizes improving the large-scale production processes and addressing environmental and health-related hazards of CNTs during production and usage.
