Mechanism of water transport in graphene oxide laminates
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is understood that nano-channels of graphene oxide membranes have a water flow mechanism which is similar to the water flow inside carbon nanotube pores. The water transport mechanisms recently proposed by various researchers suggest that membranes composed of graphene oxide laminates could be regarded as an assembly of many tiny carbon nanotubes stacked together with attached functional groups as spacers.

Another reason may be that it changes easily under different feed environments. [ 32 – 34 ] Also, the formation of highly ordered, precise GO laminates through the self-assembly of GO nanosheets is extremely diffi cult. [ 35 ] Some inevitable nonselective defects or out-of-order accumulation will exist in the GO layers due to the repulsive electrostatic interactions caused by negatively charged...

متن کاملPrecise and ultrafast molecular sieving through graphene oxide membranes.
Graphene-based materials can have well-defined nanometer pores and can exhibit low frictional water flow inside them, making their properties of interest for filtration and separation. We investigate permeation through micrometer-thick laminates prepared by means of vacuum filtration of graphene oxide suspensions. The laminates are vacuum-tight in the dry state but, if immersed in water, act as...
