Synthetic membranes with pores at the subnanometre scale are at the core of processes for
separating solutes from water, such as water purification and desalination. While these …

Synthetic membranes featuring confined nanostructures have emerged as a prominent
category of leading materials that can selectively separate target ions from complex water …

Membranes with high ion permeability and selectivity are of considerable interest for
sustainable water treatment, resource extraction and energy storage. Herein, inspired by K+ …

State-of-the-art desalination membranes exhibit high water-salt selectivity, but their ability to
discriminate between ions is limited. Elucidating the fundamental mechanisms underlying …

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 …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) membranes with high pore density and tunable pore size
down to the subnanoscale exhibit great potential in ion separation when appropriately …

Nanofiltration (NF) with high water flux and precise separation performance with high
Li+/Mg2+ selectivity is ideal for lithium brine recovery. However, conventional polyamide …

Designing single-species selective membranes for high-precision separations requires a
fundamental understanding of the molecular interactions governing solute transport. Here …

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are playing increasingly crucial roles in addressing
emerging environmental challenges by precise separation, yet understanding of the …

The main objective of this study is to examine how the charge densities of four monovalent
anions—fluoride (F–), chloride (Cl–), bromide (Br–), and nitrate (NO3–)—influence their …
