Numerous investigations have focused on creating effective membranes for desalination in order to alleviate the water scarcity crisis. In this study, first, LDH nanoplates were synthesized and utilized to alter the surface of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes in the course of this investigation. Following that, a simple technique was used to produce a novel nanocomposite incorporating LDH layers and Na14(P2W18Co4O70)·28H2O polyoxometalate nanoparticles, resulting in the creation of a fresh variety of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN). The performance of all of the membranes acquired was examined in the process of forward osmosis (FO). The impact of the compounds that were prepared was assessed on the hydrophilicity, topology, chemical structure, and morphology of the active layer of polyamide (PA) through analysis methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), FTIR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and water contact angle (WCA) goniometry. After evaluating the outcomes of both modified membrane types, it was observed that the membrane equipped with the nanocomposite modifier at a concentration of 0.01 wt % exhibited the highest water flux, measuring 46.6 LMH and selectivity of 0.23 g/L. This membrane was thus considered the best option. Furthermore, the membrane's ability to prevent fouling was examined, and the findings revealed an enhancement in its resistance to fouling in comparison to the filler-free membrane.
