Vapor transport in graphene oxide laminates and their application in pervaporation

As a well-known one-atom thick nanosheets with preeminent physicochemical properties, graphene and its derivatives (e.g., graphene oxide, GO) have shown great potential on the membrane separation filed. This paper presents an update of GO laminates developments, including the membrane preparation methods, physicochemical properties and water vapor transport of GO laminates, and their application in pervaporation process. The possible strategies for the GO laminates into the practical application are also discussed. Finally, possible future researches about GO laminates for PV are also discussed.
