MoS2-TiO2 coated PVDF-based hollow fiber membranes for permeate flux enhancement in membrane distillation.

In this work, the surface of a PVDF-based hollow fiber membrane was modified by coating MoS2-TiO2 to improve the performance of membrane distillation (MD). The MoS2-TiO2 was first synthesized at different ratios using a one-step hydrothermal process. Then, the PVDF-based hollow fiber membrane was sp...
