Molecular Sieving Nanoarchitectures of Carbon Nanosheets Coordinated with Metal-Organic Clusters

Outline of Research at the Start

This proposal aims to rationally combine the 0D nanofillers and 2D carbon materials to control the microstructure and mass transfer properties of the latter through the formation of multicomponent hierarchical structures. The resulting laminate membranes with bilaterally connected pore structures, can be used as ultra-selective and ultrafast membranes, which can survive in the harsh conditions of the real industrial process. These membranes would solve an enormous problem in the field of membrane materials, namely the loss of functionality during operation.
