The advantages of graphene oxide composite membranes in the field of oil-water separation are introduced. The potential application status of various graphene oxide composite membranes, such as ethylenediamine cross-linked graphene oxide membranes and ceramic-based graphene membranes, for oil-water separation is reviewed. The preparation processes and test results of several graphene oxide composite membranes are described and summarized. The effectiveness of these membranes in oil-water separation is analyzed, and the performance of several products is compared. This paper aims to provide readers with a quick understanding of the oil-water separation performance of several graphene oxide composite membranes, thereby facilitating their research.
