Hybrid cellulose nanocrystals and graphene oxide polysulfone membranes for copper removal

Polysulfone (PSF) membranes blended with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and graphene oxide (GO) nanofiller were prepared for copper removal in this study. The impacts of single CNC, GO, and mixed CNC-GO addition on the morphology, hydrophilicity, permeability, copper ion rejection, and membrane bindin...
