We performed nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations and solvent
permeation experiments to unravel the mechanism of water transport in reverse osmosis …

Fast permeation and effective solute-solute separation provide the opportunities for
sustainable water treatment, but they are hindered by ineffective membranes. We present …

High-performance pervaporation membranes have potential in industrial separation
applications, but overcoming the permeability-selectivity trade-off is a challenge. We report a …

Microporous organic nanotubes (MONs) hold considerable promise for designing molecular-
sieving membranes because of their high microporosity, customizable chemical …

Polymer membranes are widely used in separation processes including desalination,
organic solvent nanofiltration, and crude oil fractionation,. Nevertheless, direct evidence of …

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the key technology driving an energy-efficient and
