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 ...

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 ...

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

Writing in Nature Communications, a team from the University of Manchester led by Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo demonstrated fully scalable prototypes of graphene membranes capable of producing heavy ...

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 ...

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 ...

And beyond batteries, there are plenty of other potential applications. Holey graphene might be used as a membrane for advanced types of gas separation, removing impurities from natural gas ...

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.

the defects freeze the membrane and it loses its flexibility. Professor Angelos Michaelides in the ICE group at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge commented: “The ...
