Abstract
The serious necessity for clean and potable water is accentuated by the growing adulteration of water sources due to industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural activities. Conventional wastewater remediation procedures often fall short in terms of efficiency, specificity, and cost-effectiveness, necessitating the exploration of advanced technologies. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have positioned 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as promising candidates for water purification and desalination. This review delves into the synthesis and application of 2D MOF membranes, highlighting their superior performance in eradicating a wide range of contaminants. Key synthesis strategies, including top-down and bottom-up approaches, are discussed, with a focus on sonication exfoliation and intercalation procedures. The integration of 2D MOFs into polymeric films enhances permeability and separation efficiency, presenting a viable solution to the pressing global challenge of water scarcity. The article underlines the necessity for sustained research to overcome current limitations and to enable the commercial application of these innovative materials.
