Abstract

Increasing harmful effects of climate change, such as its effect on water scarcity, has led to a focus on developing effective water purification methods to obtain pure water. Additionally, rising levels of water pollution is increasing levels of environmental degradation, calling for sources of water treatment to remove contaminants. To purify water, osmotic processes across a semipermeable membrane can take place, and recent studies are showing that incorporating nanoparticles, including carbon quantum dots (CQDs), graphene carbon dots (GQDs), and graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) are making thin film composite (TFC) membranes more effective by increasing water flux while maintaining similar levels of salt rejection, increasing the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, showing bactericidal properties, exhibiting antifouling properties to prevent accumulation of bacteria or other microorganisms from reducing the effectiveness of the membrane, and more. In the review, the synthesis process, applications, functionality, properties, and the role of several types of quantum dots are discussed in the composite membrane for water purification.

물 부족을 포함한 기후 변화의 해로운 결과는 효과적인 정수에 대한 관심을 가져왔다. 또한, 수질 오염 수준이 높아지고 환경 파괴 수준이 심해지면서 오염 물질을 제거하려는 방안들이 요구되고 있다. 물을 정화하기 위해 반투막을 통한 삼투압 절차들을 사용할 수 있으며, 최근 연구에 따르면 탄소 양자점(CQD), 그래핀 양자점(GQD) 및 산화 그래핀 양자점(GOQD)을 포함한 나노입자를 복합 박막(TFC)에 합체하면 유사한 수준의 염 거부율을 유지하면서 물흐름을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 효과 외의 여러 가지 효과가 있지만 그 중에서도 친수성을 높이고, 살균 성질을 보이고, 방오 특성으로 인해 박테리아 및 기타 미생물의 축적을 방지하면서 막의 효과가 감소하는 것을 막는 것을 보여준다. 이 보고서는 양자점이 합체된 정수용 복합 막에서 양자점의 제조 과정, 응용, 기능성, 성질 및 역할을 논의한다.
