A highly used and facile method for applying graphene to a support membrane is by vacuum filtration, whereby the graphene is mixed well and suspended in a solvent, which is then filtered through the ...

After a chemical etching of the nickel, the graphene membrane detaches and can be transferred to another substrate. This direct CVD synthesis provides high quality layers of graphene without ...

Dialysis membranes must balance two critical functions: allowing small molecules to pass through for removal while preventing the leakage of vital proteins. The team’s approach uses the unique ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute (NGI) have achieved a long-sought-after objective of electrically controlling water flow through membranes, as reported in ...

New research shows graphene can filter common salts from water to make it safe to drink Findings could lead to affordable desalination technology Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable ...

A recent study published in Small explores a new method to improve the stability of graphene membranes in transmembrane nanofluidic devices. Researchers applied a pyrene-based coating to strengthen ...

Defects in two-dimensional materials (such as an atom-thick sheet of graphene) can dramatically alter the way that the ...

Indeed, last month Jannik Meyer of the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart and co-workers reported that they had been able to freely suspend a graphene membrane on a microfabricated scaffold in air 10.

The membranes utilize graphene's customizable nanopores for precise filtration, with a novel method that transforms protein leakage into an advantage by sealing larger pores.
