Dialysis is a ubiquitous separation process in biochemical processing and biological research. State-of-the-art dialysis membranes comprise a relatively thick polymer layer with tortuous pores, and suffer from low rates of diffusion leading to extremely long process...
Perforated single-layered graphene has demonstrated selectivity and flux that is orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art polymer membranes. However, only individual graphene sheets with sizes up to tens of micrometers have been successfully fabricated for...
By creating nanoscale pores in a layer of graphene, it could be used as an effective separation membrane due to itschemical and mechanical stability, its flexibility and, most importantly, its one-atom thickness. Theoretical studies haveindicated that the performance...
