We show that nanometer-scale pores in single-layer freestanding graphene can effectively
filter NaCl salt from water. Using classical molecular dynamics, we report the desalination …

Graphene is a distinct two-dimensional material that offers a wide range of opportunities for
membrane applications because of ultimate thinness, flexibility, chemical stability, and …

Biological ion channels have remarkable ion selectivity, permeability and rectification
properties, but it is challenging to develop artificial analogues. Here, we report a metal …

Nanosize pores can turn semimetallic graphene into a semiconductor and, from being
impermeable, into the most efficient molecular-sieve membrane. However, scaling the pores …

Membranes act as selective barriers and play an important role in processes such as
cellular compartmentalization and industrial-scale chemical and gas purification. The ideal …
