Abstract
) of the membrane. The relative hydrophilization, resulting from the effective functionalization of the nanoporous graphene membrane, not only allows greater control over the permeation characteristics of ions and water molecules mediated by an altered depletion ratio but also gives rise to the ion-selective nature of the membrane, thus providing a sound understanding of the transport properties of ion-water solutions through nanoporous materials.
