Graphitic carbon nitride nanomaterials integrating optical absorption and membrane performance for solar distillation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: membrane maintained stable operation for 20 h (1200 min) with ∼54% flux retention and excellent salt rejection (>99.5%). This study establishes a structure-property relationship demonstrating that sacrificing initial permeability for photothermal stability and antiwetting resistance is essential for practical solar desalination.
