Abstract

Read online

Layered 2D materials can be used for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane fabrication due to precise molecular sieving by the interlayer structure and stability in harsh conditions. Here authors synthesise sp2-enriched nanoporous graphene by microwave treatment and demonstrate its excellent OSN performance.
