Synergistic CO2-Sieving from Polymer with Intrinsic Microporosity Masking Nanoporous Single-Layer Graphene

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mounir Driss Mensi, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Wan-Chi Lee, Jing Zhao

High-flux nanoporous single-layer graphene membranes are highly promising for energy-efficient gas separation. Herein, in the context of carbon capture, a remarkable enhancement in the CO(2)selectivity is demonstrated by uniquely masking nanoporous single- ...

Centimeter-scale gas-sieving nanoporous single-layer graphene membrane

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Guangwei He, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Wan-Chi Lee

High-permeance, molecular-sieving, nanoporous single-layer graphene (NSLG) membranes are highly promising for gas separation. However, the formation of cracks during the transfer of NSLG to a low-cost porous support is difficult to avoid. These cracks are ...

Tuning Pore Size in Graphene in the Angstrom Regime for Highly Selective Ion-Ion Separation

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kangning Zhao, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Heng-Yu Chi, Shaoxian Li, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Mojtaba Chevalier, Wan-Chi Lee

Zero-dimensional pores spanning only a few angstroms in size in two-dimensional materials such as graphene are some of the most promising systems for designing ion-ion selective membranes. However, the key challenge in the field is that so far a crack-free ...

Polybenzimidazole copolymer derived lacey carbon film for graphene transfer and contamination removal strategies for imaging graphene nanopores

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shiqi Huang, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Guangwei He, Wan-Chi Lee

The study of the nanometer-scale vacancy defects (nanopores) in graphene by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is severely hindered by the presence of polymeric residues originating from the graphene-transfer-step to the TEM grid. The state-of-the-art ...
