Graphene Oxide Membranes with Tunable Semipermeability in Organic Solvents

Abstract

Graphene oxide membranes (GOMs) are mechanically stable in various organic solvents, and their nanochannels can be narrowed by thermal annealing or widened by solvation. Therefore, the semipermeability of GOMs can be easily modulated, and they can be used as "multipurpose membranes" for molecular sieving in organic media.
