Formation of electrically conductive hollow fiber membranes via crossflow deposition of carbon nanotubes – Addressing the conductivity/permeability trade-off

Electrically conductive membranes (ECMs) have significant potential for enhanced membrane separations. While most of the existing studies on ECMs have focused on flat sheet membranes, it is the hollow fiber membrane format that is the preferred format for large-scale treatment applications. While ECMs in hollow fiber format are emerging, existing approaches tend towards extremes of membrane conductivity or permeability without considering the …
