Free-standing graphene slit membrane for enhanced desalination

Submitted by Jingjie Yeo on

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2016.09.043 This study considers two novel ideas to further explore and enhance the graphene membrane for desalination. Firstly, while earlier molecular dynamics (MD) simulations studies have used frozen membranes, free-standing membrane is considered here. Since 2D membranes are usually embedded on porous support in the experimental reverse osmosis (RO) process, the free-standing membrane can more accurately model the behavior expected during operation.
