TL;DR: It is shown that single-layer porous graphene can be used as a desalination membrane using an oxygen plasma etching process and exhibits a salt rejection rate of nearly 100% and rapid water transport.

TL;DR: Graphene chemical vapor deposition growth on copper foil using methane as a carbon source is strongly affected by hydrogen, which appears to serve a dual role: an activator of the surface bound carbon that is necessary for monolayer growth and an etching reagent that controls the size and morphology of the graphene domains.

TL;DR: It is shown that by decreasing the length of the nanopore, the ionic current and ionic selectivity become affected by processes outside the nanochannel, justifying the use of the simple one-dimensional approximation in many cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that large scale high quality graphene synthesis can be performed using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Cu and illustrate how this procedure eliminates major difficulties associated with the low pressure CVD approach while allowing straightforward expansion of this technology to the roll-to-roll industrial scale graphene production.

TL;DR: In this article, low-temperature (100−150 K) 1H, 2H, and 15N NMR experiments were performed on solutions of various protonated and deuterated acids AL (L = H, D) and pyridine-15N (B) dissolved in a 2:1 mixture of CDClF2/CDF3.
