Our project aims to develop an innovative carbon nanotube-based water desalination filter to address the growing global scarcity of freshwater. Collaborating with the Purdue Research Foundation, our goal is to create a sustainable, economical, and efficient solution that outperforms traditional desalination methods like reverse osmosis, which are costly and energy-intensive. We will focus on designing and testing filters that align and clean carbon nanotubes effectively, ensuring salt removal with minimal energy input and environmental impact. The project will work to establish a repeatable manufacturing process for scalable production, optimizing filter performance and durability.
