*Abstract: Researchers at the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute and Drexel University have developed a novel membrane for more effective and efficient reverse osmosis (RO) desalination and other water filtration. Based on the two-dimensional (i.e., nanometer-thin) material known as MXene, this titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂)-based film is more robust than other RO filtration materials, such as graphene oxide (GO) membranes. MXenes combine the metallic conductivity of transition metal carbides and carbonitrides with a hydrophilic surface, making them act as "conductive clays."
