ABSTRACT

Silicon carbide (SiC) nanomaterials are being used in a large range of fields because of their excellent mechanical strength, high thermal resistance and conductivity, high chemical stability and being semiconductors. In the present review, we evaluate SiC nanomaterials as membranes and adsorbents to separate different species. In addition, applications of SiC nanomaterials as membranes or in a membrane structure are described. In this regard, experimental studies which used porous SiC in membrane structure confirmed that SiC can enhance the performance of any membrane because of its large surface area, anti-fouling nature, high porosity, and high-water permeability. Next, molecular dynamics simulation studies examined the ability of SiC nanosheets and SiCNTs in water desalination, gas and dissolved molecule separations. Ultimately, based on the reviewed articles and their findings, areas requiring further attention by researchers are proposed.

摘要

碳化硅（SiC）纳米材料因其优异的机械强度、高耐热性和导电性、高化学稳定性以及半导体性质而被广泛应用于各个领域。在本综述中，我们评估了碳化硅纳米材料作为分离不同物种的膜和吸附剂。此外，还描述了碳化硅纳米材料作为膜或在膜结构中的应用。在这方面，在膜结构中使用多孔SiC的实验研究证实，SiC由于其表面积大、防污、高孔隙率和高透水性，可以增强任何膜的性能。接下来，分子动力学模拟研究检验了 SiC 纳米片和 SiCNT 在海水淡化、气体和溶解分子分离中的能力。最终，
