In this research, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) were used to functionalise molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). They were deposited as a thin-film composite membrane onto alumina support for oily water separation. The functionalisation of MoS2 aimed to control foul...
