However, a significant challenge arises from the distortion of the nanochannels responsible for water transport due to the hydration of oxidized groups over the graphene oxide nanoplates. This compromises selectivity and alters water transport dynamics. To surmount this drawback, innovative strategies involve the incorporation of additives, or crosslinkers, into the graphene oxide matrix to stabilize these critical nanochannels. This comprehensive review investigates the performance of graphene oxide membranes for desalination and wastewater treatment, where graphene oxide was functionalized through crosslinker integration. A novel classification based on the connector element is considered for relating the crosslinker nature and performance in water treatment, accompanied by a statistical analysis highlighting key factors influencing the performance.
