Abstract
Owing to their ultrathin two-dimensional structure and efficient catalytic ability for persulfate activation, graphene-based nanocarbons exhibit considerable application potential in fabricating carbonaceous composite membranes for in situ catalytic oxidation to remove organic pollutants. This approach offers significant advantages over conventional batch systems. However, the relationships between the physicochemical properties of carbon mats and performance of graphene-based catalytic membranes in water purification remain ambiguous. Herein, we summarize the main mechanisms of in situ catalytic oxidation and the facile fabrication strategies of carbonaceous composite membranes. Different factors influencing the performance of graphene-based catalytic membranes are comprehensively discussed. The defective level, heteroatom doping, and stacking morphology of carbon mats and operational conditions during filtration play critical roles in the oxidative degradation of target pollutants. Long-term operation leads to the deterioration of catalytic activity and transmembrane pressure, especially in the complex water matrix. Finally, the present challenges and future perspectives are presented to improve the anti-fouling performance and catalytic stability of membranes and develop scalable fabrication methods to promote the engineering applications of in situ catalytic oxidation in real water purification.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) lamellar graphene oxide (GO) membranes are emerging as attractive materials for molecular separation in water treatment because of their single atomic thickness, excellent hydrophilicity, large specific surface areas, and controllable properties. To yet, commercialization of GO laminar membranes has been hindered by their propensity to swell in hydrated conditions. Thus, chemical crosslinking of GO sheets with the polymer matrix is used to improve GO membrane hydration stability. This review focuses on pertinent themes such as how chemical crosslinking improves the hydration stability, separation performance, and antifouling properties of GO membranes.

Abstract
Electrically conductive membranes have been regarded as a new alternative to overcome the crucial drawbacks of membranes, including permeability-selectivity trade-off and fouling. It is still challenging to prepare conductive membranes with good mechanical strength, high conductivity and stable separation performance by reliable materials and methods. This work developed a facile method of simultaneous phase inversion to prepare electrically conductive polyethersulfone (PES) membranes with carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and graphene (Gr). The resultant MWCNT/Gr/PES nanocomposite membranes are composed of the upper MWCNT/Gr layer with good conductivity and the base PES layer providing mechanical support. MWCNT as nanofillers effectively turns the insulting PES layers to be electrically conductive. With the dispersing and bridging functions of Gr, the MWCNT/Gr layer shows an enhanced electric conductivity of 0.10 S/cm. This MWCNT/Gr/PES membrane in an electro-filtration cell achieves excellent retention of Cu(II) ions up to 98 % and a high flux of 94.5 L m-2∙h-1∙bar-1 under a low driven-pressure of 0.1 MPa. The conductive membrane also shows improved anti-fouling capability during protein filtration, due mainly to the electrostatic repulsion and hydrogen evolution reaction on the electrode. This facile strategy has excellent potential in electro-assistant membrane filtration for fouling control and effective separation.

Abstract
Given complexity and diversity of oily wastewater, developing highly efficient separation materials through green and facile strategy are urgently needed. Herein, a smart strategy is demonstrated to transform raw cotton into uniform cellulose sponge for separation oil-in-water emulsion. The raw cotton is directly treated in zinc chloride aqueous solutions through a controllable dissolution process. After regeneration without any further chemical modification and freeze drying, the evolved cellulose sponge, which is composed of partially dissolved cotton fiber and exfoliated regenerated cellulose, exhibits interesting three-dimensional (3D) interconnected hierarchical porous network structure and stable wettability of superoleophobicity (θoil>150º) under water. Cellulose sponge has excellent underwater superoleophobicity and antifouling property due to the natural hydrophilicity of cellulose. Based on the beneficial 3D hierarchical structure and superwettability, the cellulose sponge can separate highly emulsified oil-in-water emulsions with efficiency up to 99.2% solely under the driving of gravity. Our strategy provides a generic way to convert cellulose-based materials into cellulose porous materials with excellent permeability, separation efficiency, antifouling, and reusability property for oil/water emulsions separation. This economical, environmentally friendly and functional cellulose sponge not only allows natural cotton resources to be used rationally with high value-added, but also effectively solves the problems of oily wastewater.

Abstract
In order to separate the asphalt-containing oil–water mixture, an aerogel film was produced through supercritical drying of a polymer gel synthesized using the ring opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). The polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD)-based aerogels have a porous structure, super-lipophilicity and super-hydrophobicity which resulted in successful separation of the simple oil–water mixture, oil–water emulsion and asphalt-containing toluene–water mixture. However, the presence of asphalt decreases the separation efficiency by blocking the pores and acting as an emulsifier. An asphalt stabilizer was then employed to reduce the asphalt particle size and weaken the flow passage blockage, consequently improving the filtration speed and the asphalt content in the filtrate. The combination of PDCPD aerogel film with an asphalt stabilizer has great application prospects for separating asphalt-containing oil–water mixtures. In order to separate the asphalt-containing oil–water mixture, an aerogel film was produced through supercritical drying of a polymer gel synthesized using the ring opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD).![]()

Abstract
A membrane with selective wettability to either oil or water has been utilized for highly efficient, environmentally friendly membrane-based oil-water separation. However, a predictive model, which can be used to evaluate the overall separation performance of the membrane, still needs further development. Herein, we investigate three separation performance parameters, that is, separation efficiency, liquid intrusion pressure, and mass flux in particular, as a function of pore geometry and liquid properties using metallic meshes whose surface wettability is modified by scalable spray coating. We show that the prepared membrane exhibits a separation efficiency over 98% below the intrusion pressure, while the intrusion pressure increases with the decrease of pore size of the membrane. Particularly, we develop a semi-empirical model for the mass flux through the membrane. As application examples of our performance analysis, we successfully predict the separation time for one-way and two-way gravity-driven separation of the oil-water mixture, the decrease of the mass flux due to membrane fouling, and the maximum allowable separation capacity of the given membrane. This work can help to design optimal membrane-based oil-water separation systems for actual industrial applications by providing a selection guideline for separation membranes.

Abstract
Although many great potential applications are proposed for graphene, till now none are yet realized as a stellar application. The most challenging issue for such practical applications is to figure out how to prepare graphene bulk materials while maintaining the unique two-dimensional (2D) structure and the many excellent properties of graphene sheets. Herein, such polymeric graphene bulk materials containing three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked networks with graphene sheets as the building unit are reviewed. The theoretical research on various proposed structures of graphene bulk materials is summarized first. Then, the synthesis or fabrication of these graphene materials is described, which comprises mainly two approaches: chemical vapor deposition and cross-linking using graphene oxide directly. Finally, some exotic and exciting potential applications of these graphene bulk materials are presented.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising hemostatic material because of its platelet stimulatory activity. However, our previous studies on cross-linked graphene sponges demonstrated that those sponges lost the GO function of platelet stimulation due to the pristine GO was reduced under the harsh reaction conditions. Accordingly, a mild cross-linking strategy is expected to preserve the oxygen-containing groups to further increase the hemostatic performance of the sponges. Here, we present a polydopamine (PDA) cross-linked GO sponge (DCGO) by using mild and facile wet chemistry. The obtained DCGO possessed a high surface charge (-31.3 ± 0.3 mV) and showed strong platelet stimulation. Moreover, this method strengthened the mechanical properties of the DCGO, which supported 350 times its own weight without deformation, thus ensuring its absorbability. For the synergy of platelet stimulation and physical absorption, DCGO achieved outstanding hemostatic performance. Bleeding stopped within 105 ± 15 s, which was 165 s faster than that of the un-cross-linked GO aerogel and 96 s faster than that of the cross-linked graphene sponge (CGS). The DCGO combines the advantages of both PDA and GO, thus supplying a new material and method for the field of trauma hemostasis.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membrane has been synthesized on commercial polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes (Pore size: 17 nm) using the drop casting method followed by baking at 90 C for 24 h. Baking resulted in the reduction of GO and removal of bulk water intercalated in the GO sheets. Deposited GO film showed high stability under shear stress variation. This work shows that water adsorption on the GO membrane determines its permeation performance. Despite the higher viscosity of isopropyl alcohol (IPA), its permeability was 7 times higher than water through the baked ("dry") GO membranes, which were never contacted with water. However, IPA permeability of GO membranes dropped to 44% (of deionized water) when contacted with water ("hydrated" or "wet" GO membranes). Extensive size exclusion (rejection) studies with various dye and dendrimer molecules showed pore size reduced from 3.3 nm in the "dry" state to 1.3 nm in the "wet" state of GO membranes. FT-IR characterization of GO membrane suggested adsorption of water on the nanochannels of the active layer. Also, significant decay in flux was observed for water (82% of its initial flux) as compared to IPA (38% of its initial flux) for initially dry GO membranes.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a widely used biomaterial. But there is still a challenge facing its unwanted bacterial adhesion because the subsequent biofilm formation usually leads to failure of related implants. Herein, we present a borneol-modified PMMA based on a facile and effective stereochemical strategy, generating antibacterial copolymer named as P(MMA-co-BA). It was synthesized by free radical polymerization and studied with different ratio between methyl methacrylate (MMA) and borneol acrylate (BA) monomers. NMR, GPC, and EA, etc., were used to confirm their chemical features. Their films were challenged with Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive), showing a BA content dependent antibacterial performance. The minimum effective dose should be 10%. Then in vivo subcutaneous implantations in mice demonstrated their biocompatibilities through routine histotomy and HE staining. Therefore, P(MMA-co-BA)s not only exhibited their unique antibacterial character but also suggested a potential for the safe usage of borneol-modified PMMA frame and devices for further implantation.

Abstract
Owing to their atomically thin structure, large surface area and mechanical strength, 2D nanoporous materials are considered to be suitable alternatives for existing desalination and water purification membrane materials. Recent progress in the development of nanoporous graphene based materials has generated enormous potential for water purification technologies. Progress in the development of nanoporous graphene and graphene oxide (GO) membranes, the mechanism of graphene molecular sieve action, structural design, hydrophilic nature, mechanical strength and antifouling properties and the principal challenges associated with nanopore generation are discussed in detail. Subsequently, the recent applications and performance of newly developed 2D materials such as 2D boron nitride (BN) nanosheets, graphyne, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), tungsten chalcogenides (WS2) and titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) are highlighted. In addition, the challenges affecting 2D nanostructures for water purification are highlighted and their applications in the water purification industry are discussed. Though only a few 2D materials have been explored so far for water treatment applications, this emerging field of research is set to attract a great deal of attention in the near future.
