A thin water layer stabilised by hydrophilic nanopores can facilitate carbon dioxide separation. The new membrane shows ...

Polymer membranes that "simultaneously and surprisingly" improve permeability while favoring bigger molecules over smaller ones have been developed by a team of researchers that includes Dr. Richard J ...

(Nanowerk News) Membrane-based separation technologies offer major advantages over conventional processes like distillation in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact. However, current ...

Polymeric membranes are widely used in separation technologies due to their low cost and easily scalable fabrication. However, unlike inorganic nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks ...

Carbon dioxide is an all too common waste product of industry, belched into the air in huge amounts from smokestacks. Now, researchers have developed a new type of fluorinated membrane that can ...

Researchers have developed an ion-selective smart porous membrane that can respond to outer stimuli, potentially paving the way for new applications in molecular separation and sensing applications. A ...
