Boron nitride nanoslits for water desalination via forward osmosis: A molecular dynamics study.

The global shortage of freshwater resources has spurred significant interest among scientists in the development of cost-effective and highly efficient water desalination methods. The forward osmosis (FO) membrane has become well-known for its various advantages, such as its low energy usage, cost-effective performance, high efficiency in desalination, and minimal fouling. Herein, the desalination performance of an FO system containing a boron-nitride slit membrane (BNSM) was investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
