Geometry modulation of ion diffusion through layered asymmetric graphene oxide membranes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 7;55(21):3140-3143. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00239a.

Abstract

The asymmetric ion diffusion phenomenon through a 2D nanofluidic thickness gradient membrane under a concentration gradient is reported. The preferential direction for ion diffusion is from the thick side toward the thin side of the geometry-asymmetric graphene oxide membranes, which is attributed to the difference in charge selectivity.
