Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based membranes are gaining attention for their unique properties and applications in membrane technology. This review comprehensively explores major types of CNT-based membranes-buckypaper, CNT mixed, and vertically aligned CNT membranes-along with their fabrication methods, pore size control strategies, unique properties, and potential applications. Understanding these aspects will help fully harness the potential of CNT-based membranes in addressing challenges in water treatment and other fields. CNTs offer promise as water treatment membranes due to their ability to enhance performance of existing membranes, overcome trade-offs, exhibit antibacterial properties, and facilitate fast water transport.
