| Abstract | One of the major challenges in water treatment and desalination is scaling—the buildup of insoluble mineral deposits that reduce the efficiency and lifespan of treatment systems, much like limescale in household appliances. Current methods to mitigate scale formation often rely on chemical additives such as softeners and antiscalants, which generate chemical waste and consume large volumes of water. This collaborative project will develop new classes of vanadium oxide layered materials for selec |
