Thin, High-Flux, Self-Standing, Graphene Oxide Membranes for Efficient Hydrogen Separation from Gas Mixtures

The preparation and gas-separation performance of self-standing, high-flux, graphene oxide (GO) membranes is reported. Defect-free, 15-20 mm thick, mechanically stable, unsupported GO membranes exhibited outstanding gas-separation performance towards H-2/CO2 that far exceeded the corresponding 2008 Robeson upper bound. Remarkable separation efficiency of GO membranes for H-2 and bulky C-3 or C-4 hydrocarbons was achieved with …

Graphene Nanobubbles Produced by Water Splitting

Graphene nanobubbles are of significant interest due to their ability to trap mesoscopic volumes of gas for various applications in nanoscale engineering. However; conventional protocols to produce such bubbles are relatively elaborate and require specialized equipment to subject graphite samples to high temperatures or pressures. Here, we demonstrate, the formation of graphene nanobubbles between layers …
