Forward osmosis (FO), a new membrane-based technique, has low energy consumption and very little possibility for membrane fouling; however, the shortage of high-performance FO membranes prevents FO from being used widely.
A recent study published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials tackles this issue by fabricating novel zinc oxide/titanium dioxide (ZnO/TiO2) multi-core shell nanoparticles with remarkable acid resistance and UV protection properties.
