The effect of ZnO loading for the enhancement of PSF/ZnO-GO mixed matrix membrane performance

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of ZnO-decorated GO nanocomposite material loaded with different weight percent of ZnO toward polysulfone (PSF) mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) performance enhancement. ZnO-decorated GO nanocomposite material was loaded with 1, 5, 10 and 20 wt. % ZnO was bl...
