In this work, hydrophilic hydrous manganese dioxide (HMO) nanoparticles were synthesized and used as the inorganic filler for the preparation of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The aim of adding HMO nanoparticles into the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane matrix is to improve membrane hydrophilicity an...
