Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)-based laminar membranes have gained significant interest in energy storage, fuel cell, gas separation, wastewater treatment, and desalination applications due to single layer structure, good functionality, high mechanical strength, and chemical resistivity. Herein, we review the recent efforts and development on TMDCs-based laminar membranes, and focus is given on their fabrication strategies. Further, TMDCs-based laminar membranes for water purification and seawater desalination are discussed in detail. Finally, present their merits, limits and future challenges needed in this area.
