Abstract

This study intends to comprehensively evaluate the application of graphene-based nanofillers obtained from rice husk waste in the field of membrane gas separation technologies. Graphene, owing to its distinctive structural characteristics, has emerged as a highly promising filler material for membrane fabrication in gas separation applications. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth evaluation of the diverse synthesis methods employed and the resulting properties of graphene obtained from rice husk waste materials, with an inclusive chemical mechanism of graphene formation from rice husk waste. Furthermore, this study reveals the inherent capabilities of graphene in enhancing the performance of membranes while also examining the influence of nanofillers on solubility selectivity. In conclusion, it is imperative to underline the need for additional research and development activities aimed at expanding the efficiency and scalability of the membrane fabrication process through the utilization of graphene nanofillers derived from rice husk waste.
