Graphene-based composite materials for water purification. The project is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development as part of Action 4.1 "Scientific research and development work" of the Operational Program Smart Growth 2014-2020. Implementation period: April 1, 2016 - March 31, 2021.
The project is carried out in a consortium: Project Leader - Institute of Materials Engineering, Lodz University of Technology. Partner - AMII sp. z o.o.
The aim of the project is to produce and investigate the effectiveness of new graphene-based composite materials for water purification. The project involves creating a filtration material by applying graphene on supporting substrates in the form of polycrystalline monolayers. These layers will be used as semi-permeable membranes for selectively capturing pollutants or as electrode coatings for water electro-deionization. These filters, during the water purification process, will capture ions such as salts, and after reversing the polarization, they will undergo purification."
