Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

Mass transport at the sub-nanometre scale, including selective transport of gases, liquids
and ions, plays a key role in systems such as catalysis, energy generation and storage …

Together with the development of two-dimensional (2D) materials, transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) have become one of the most popular series of model materials for …

Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

Molecular separations that enable selective transport of target molecules from gas and liquid

The isolation of the first two-dimensional material, graphene–a monolayer of carbon atoms
arranged in a hexagonal lattice-opened new exciting opportunities in the field of condensed …

Not all nanopores are created equal. By definition, nanopores have characteristic diameters
or conduit widths between∼ 1 and 100 nm. However, the narrowest of such pores, perhaps …

Fluid transport at the nanoscale is ubiquitous in nature. However, rigorous study of fluid flow
and structure in artificial nanopores only emerged relatively recently. Termed nanofluidics …

Carbon emission has become a worldwide concern with global warming and concurrent
climate changes. Carbon capture using membrane-based technology offers an effective way …
