Tunable sieving of ions using graphene oxide membranes
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 546 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.21

Graphene oxide membranes show exceptional molecular permeation properties, with promise for many applications. However, their use in ion sieving and desalination technologies is limited by a permeation cutoff of ∼9 Å (ref. 4), which is larger than the diameters of hydrated ions of common salts. The cutoff is determined by the ...

Joule-heated graphene-wrapped sponge enables fast clean-up of viscous crude-oil spill
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 434 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.33
Authors: Jin Ge, Lu-An Shi, Yong-Chao Wang, Hao-Yu Zhao, Hong-Bin Yao, Yin-Bo Zhu, Ye Zhang, Hong-Wu Zhu, Heng-An Wu & Shu-Hong Yu
The clean-up of viscous crude-oil spills is a global challenge. Hydrophobic and oleophilic oil sorbents have been demonstrated as promising candidates for oil-spill remediation. However, the sorption speeds of these oil sorbents for viscous crude oil are rather limited. Herein we report a Joule-heated graphene-wrapped sponge (GWS) to clean-up viscous crude oil at a high sorption speed. The Joule heat of the GWS reduced ...
