Abstract

Based on breakthroughs in fundamental concepts in membrane design, novel thin-film nanofibrous composite (TFNC) membranes with hierarchical structures have been developed and demonstrated for various water purification processes. Benefits such as high throughput, high rejection, high durability, low energy consumption and low cost can be achieved simultaneously through this technology. Performance advantages of TFNC membranes over commercially available filtration membranes and additional challenges are illustrated in detail. This chapter is intended to serve as a reference for TFNC membranes that can significantly advance the future development of energy-efficient membranes.
