Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced Graphene oxide (rGO) are 2D materials which exhibit unique anti-fouling and anti-bacterial properties along with high water permeability through its 2D channels, good selectivity and good thermal, mechanical and chemical stability. These unique properties offer the opportunity to incorporate GO and rGO and synthesize new membranes for water filtration applications such as Forward Osmosis, pervaporation, Reverse Osmosis, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration.
