A Retrospective Analysis and the Future of 2D Materials in Desalination & Water Treatment
Co-hosted by the Research & Innovation Center for Graphene and 2D Materials and the Graphene Flagship, we present the 3rd International EU-UAE Workshop.
The workshop was organised in the framework of the Graphene Flagship international collaborations and was hosted as part of the Graphene Week 2024 programme.
As the world grapples with water scarcity, innovative technologies are imperative. Graphene and related 2D materials present a promising avenue for revolutionising desalination and water purification processes, particularly given their inherent resistance to fouling and microbial growth. However, the path to integrating 2D materials into the water desalination and water treatment industries is one that faces resistance to change and challenges. In this session, moderated by Fraunhofer ISI, we take a retrospective analysis of the Graphene Technology and Innovation Roadmap’s actualisation in this field, while looking at future opportunities and challenges through case studies, latest scientific applications, and a robust round table discussion.
