Abstract:
Membrane swelling is a critical challenge in organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN), especially when using two-dimensional lamellar membrane (2DLM) materials. This study presents a simple, sustainable fabrication of self-stabilized lamellar mica membranes, which exhibited a competitive dye rejection rate (98.13%) and high permeance in methanol (96.1 LMH per bar) with a continuous lack of swelling for 108 hours.
