![]() ![]() Too little water consumption raises the risk of dehydration and possible harm to the body. If you don’t drink enough water, you won’t go to the bathroom as much because your body tries to conserve fluids and maintain an appropriate water level. The more water and fluids you drink, the more urine is produced in the kidneys. Your body naturally tries to maintain healthy water levels by excreting excess water in urine. The ideal amount of water you should consume varies greatly, depending on factors such as age, weight, health, and activity level. Getting enough water depends on the food and beverages you consume each day. Read more about how to correctly acknowledge RSC content.How do I maintain a healthy water percentage?

Lastly, we critically evaluate recent findings to provide a holistic qualitative assessment of the nanochannels with respect to the attributes that are most strongly valued in membrane engineering, before discussing upcoming challenges to share our perspectives with researchers for pathing future directions in this coming of age of water channels. Next, we put into perspective the fabrication methods that can nanoarchitecture water channels into high-performance nanochannel-enabled membranes, focusing especially on the distinct differences of each type of nanochannel and how they can be leveraged to unlock the as-promised high water transport potential in current mainstream membrane designs. First, we map out the background by looking into the evolution of nanochannels over the years, before discussing their latest developments by focusing on the key physicochemical and intrinsic transport properties of these channels from the chemistry standpoint. Herein, this review outlines the progress of a comprehensive amount of nanochannels, which include aquaporins, pillararenes, I-quartets, different types of nanotubes and their porins, graphene-based materials, metal– and covalent–organic frameworks, porous organic cages, MoS 2, and MXenes, offering a comparative glimpse into where their potential lies. Furthermore, against the backdrop of different separation mechanisms, different types of nanochannel exhibit unique merits and limitations, which determine their usability and suitability for different membrane designs. Today, these water nanochannels can be broadly categorized into biological, biomimetic and synthetic, owing to their different natures, physicochemical properties and methods for membrane nanoarchitectonics. Over the past two decades, the rise of nanotechnology has brought together an abundance of multifunctional nanochannels that are poised to reinvent separation membranes with performances exceeding those of state-of-the-art polymeric membranes within the water–energy nexus. ![]() Water channels are one of the key pillars driving the development of next-generation desalination and water treatment membranes. ![]()
