Abstract

Electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) have emerged as a cutting-edge solution for membrane distillation (MD), recognized for their highly porous and interconnected architecture. This distinctive structure enables them to offer minimal mass transfer resistance, making them exceptionally suited for high-efficiency membrane-based separation processes. However, the very porosity that defines their strength also renders them vulnerable to fouling, scaling, and wetting during operation, which in turn compromises their performance. Current research efforts are geared toward overcoming these obstacles by refining the surface design and characteristics of ENMs. This review delves into the latest advancements in surface-enhanced electrospun nanofiber membranes tailored for MD applications. It discusses the existing gaps in research and provides forward-looking insights into the future of ENMs, spotlighting the development of membranes with precisely tunable surface attributes for optimized performance.

推进表面增强电纺纳米纤维膜：定制特性以提高膜蒸馏性能

电纺纳米纤维膜（ENMs）因其高度多孔和相互连接的结构而成为膜蒸馏（MD）的尖端解决方案。这种独特的结构使其能够提供最小的传质阻力，使其特别适用于基于膜的高效分离过程。然而，决定其强度的多孔性也使其在运行过程中容易结垢、结垢和湿润，进而影响其性能。目前的研究工作旨在通过改进 ENM 的表面设计和特性来克服这些障碍。本综述深入探讨了为 MD 应用量身定制的表面增强电纺纳米纤维膜的最新进展。它讨论了现有的研究差距，并对 ENMs 的未来提出了前瞻性见解，重点介绍了具有可精确调节表面属性的膜的开发，以优化性能。
