Journal ArticleDOI
Selective ionic transport through tunable subnanometer pores in single-layer graphene membranes.
Sean C. O'Hern,Michael S. H. Boutilier,Juan Carlos Idrobo,Yi Song,Jing Kong,Tahar Laoui,Muataz Ali Atieh,Rohit Karnik +7 more
TL;DR: The ability to tune the selectivity of graphene through controlled generation of subnanometer pores addresses a significant challenge in the development of advanced nanoporous graphene membranes for nanofiltration, desalination, gas separation, and other applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental transport mechanisms, fabrication and potential applications of nanoporous atomically thin membranes
Luda Wang,Michael S. H. Boutilier,Piran R. Kidambi,Doojoon Jang,Nicolas G. Hadjiconstantinou,Rohit Karnik +5 more
TL;DR: T theoretical and experimental developments in the emerging field of nanoporous atomically thin membranes are discussed, focusing on the fundamental mechanisms of gas- and liquid-phase transport, membrane fabrication techniques and advances towards practical application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Molecular Transport through Intrinsic Defects in a Single Layer of CVD Graphene
Sean C. O'Hern,Cameron A. Stewart,Michael S. H. Boutilier,Juan Carlos Idrobo,Sreekar Bhaviripudi,Sarit K. Das,Jing Kong,Tahar Laoui,Muataz Ali Atieh,Rohit Karnik +9 more
TL;DR: Graphene composite membranes with nominal areas more than 25 mm fabricated by transfer of a single layer of CVD graphene onto a porous polycarbonate substrate are reported, presenting the first step toward the realization of practical membranes that use graphene as the selective material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of molecular permeation through nanoporous graphene membranes.
Chengzhen Sun,Michael S. H. Boutilier,Harold Au,Pietro Poesio,Bofeng Bai,Rohit Karnik,Nicolas G. Hadjiconstantinou +6 more
TL;DR: The results identify a nanopore geometry that is permeable to hydrogen and helium, is significantly less permeability to nitrogen, and is essentially impermeable to methane, thus validating previous suggestions that nanoporous graphene membranes can be used for gas separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous sub-continuum ionic transport in statistically isolated graphene nanopores
Tarun Jain,Benjamin C. Rasera,Ricardo Jose S. Guerrero,Michael S. H. Boutilier,Sean C. O'Hern,Juan Carlos Idrobo,Rohit Karnik +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that isolated sub-2 nm pores in graphene exhibit, in contrast to larger pores, diverse transport behaviours consistent with ion transport over a free-energy barrier arising from ion dehydration and electrostatic interactions.
