Strict molecular sieving over electrodeposited 2D-interspacing-narrowed graphene oxide membranes

Abstract

Producing graphene oxide membranes with narrow channels is desirable for small molecule separations, but methods to narrow the 2D spacing typically result in membrane damage. Here the authors exploit electrophoresis-deposition to prepare GO membranes that are reduced in situ, leading to narrow and uniform 2D channels.
