  • Thin film composites having graphene oxide quantum dots
    Patent number: 10953371
    Abstract: Thin film composite membranes and methods of fabricating thin film composite membranes are disclosed. A thin film composite membrane can include nitrogen-doped graphene oxide quantum dots. The graphene oxide quantum dots can be doped with nitrogen to increase the performance of the thin film composite membrane. Other particulate compounds can be further integrated with the thin film composite membrane including zeolites, titanium oxides, and sulfur oxides. The thin film composite membranes can be used for various applications including desalination.

  • Printable Graphene Oxide Coatings and Membranes
    Publication number: 20190366722
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of printing graphene oxide (GO) and printed GO membranes. An embodiment of the present disclosure includes producing graphene oxide (GO) ink by mixing graphene oxide particles with a solvent. The GO ink can be inserted into a printer and the printer head can expel droplets of GO ink on the substrate. The GO ink can be dried on the substrate and the substrate can then be used for various applications including a medium for filtering water.
