Microfluidics-based fundamental characterization of external concentration polarization in forward osmosis

External concentration polarization (ECP) refers to the local variation of solution concentration near a membrane surface in forward osmosis (FO). The existence of ECP leads to much lower solvent permeating flux, and hence ECP is a major factor deteriorating FO membrane performance. Therefore, under...
