This study investigates the effect of MXene Ti₃C₂ on the properties and performance of PVDF ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. MXene Ti₃C₂ nanosheets were synthesized from a MAX phase Ti₃AlC₂ substrate through delamination and incorporated into PVDF membranes via in situ embedment during phase inversion. The membranes were characterized using FESEM, FTIR, water contact angle (CA), and porosity measurements. The results showed that the inclusion of MXene Ti₃C₂ enhanced the hydrophilicity, porosity, and antifouling properties of the membranes. The membrane with 0.5 wt% Ti₃C₂ (M3) exhibited the lowest contact angle, indicating higher hydrophilicity. The membrane with the highest porosity (M5) demonstrated the highest flux rates for pure water and protein solutions. The membrane with the highest hydrophilicity (M3) showed significantly better protein rejection and flux recovery rates compared to the pristine membrane. The MXene Ti₃C₂ nanosheets improved the membrane's water permeability, protein rejection, and antifouling abilities, making it a promising material for enhancing antifouling membranes. The study also evaluated the membranes' performance through pure water flux, BSA rejection, and antifouling assessment. The results indicated that the MXene Ti₃C₂ nanosheets significantly improved the membrane's performance, with M3 showing the best results in terms of flux recovery and protein rejection. The findings suggest that MXene Ti₃C₂ can be used as a potential additive to enhance the antifouling properties of PVDF membranes.This study investigates the effect of MXene Ti₃C₂ on the properties and performance of PVDF ultrafiltration (UF) membranes.
