Abstract
Nanomaterials are increasingly gaining research attention for the enhancement of desalination processes. Graphene oxide (GO) emerges as an exciting graphene derivative with outstanding properties demanding its exploration in water desalination. A review on the historical and current development of GO as a nanomaterial in reverse osmosis (RO), the most common technology in desalination, will be showcased in this chapter. An overview of currently reported work incorporation of GO and nanocomposite of GO in RO membranes, and existing work on next generation of graphene-based membranes in RO will be examined in detail.
