The two-dimensional (2D) lamellar membrane assembly technique shows substantial potential for sustainable desalination applications. However, the relatively wide and size-variable channels of 2D membranes in aqueous solution result inferior salt rejections. Here we show establishment nanofluidic heterostructured graphene oxide (GO) by adding g-C3N4 sheets into GO interlamination. Benefiting from presence stable sub-nanometer (0.42 nm) GO/g-C3N4 channels, exhibits rejections ∼90% with water...

Abstract Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) that can selectively transport ions are crucial to a variety of applications, such as ion extraction/separation, fuel cells, redox flow batteries, and water electrolysis. IEM performance, in terms membrane permeability/conductivity selectivity, relies heavily on the formation effective channels within membranes, there exists tradeoff between which obstructs development widespread adoption IEM‐based processes. To overcome this advance IEM‐related...

A new class of alkaline anion-exchange membranes containing mobile ion shuttles is developed. It achieved by threading ionic linear guests into poly(crown ether) hosts via host-guest molecular interaction. The thermal- and pH-triggered shuttling remarkably increases the solvation-shell fluctuations in inactive hydrated hydroxide complexes (OH(-) (H2 O)4 ) accelerates OH(-) transport.
