Membrane-based dehumidification systems, thermally-insulative selective membranes, and associated methods. The membrane-based dehumidification systems include thermally-insulative selective membranes that help maintain water vapor partial pressure difference across the selective membrane by maintaining a temperature differential across the membrane. The selective membrane includes an active layer disposed on a support layer. The support layer may be made of a mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride and a reduced graphene oxide filler to improve the thermal insulative properties of the selective membrane and insulate the active layer from a temperature differential between a feed air side and a permeate air side of the selective membrane.
A membrane-based dehumidification system comprising:
A thermally-insulative selective membrane for a membrane-based dehumidification system, the selective membrane comprising:
A method of making a thermally-insulative selective membrane having an active layer and a support layer for a membrane-based dehumidification system, the method comprising:
