Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were successfully fabricated by incorporating reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanofillers into the polyethersulfone (PES) matrix. The synthesized nanofillers were characterized using XRD, FTIR, TGA and BET before being embedded in...
