Controlling ion transport through graphene oxide (GO) membranes is challenging, but the addition of single-site divalent cations can fine-tune the properties of the membrane. Cu2+ cations dominate the transport through the 2D channels of GO membranes, resulting in higher permeation rates compared to other cations. Cu-GO membranes also exhibit higher rejection rates in reverse osmosis tests, outperforming other membranes by 5%-10%.
Controlling the ion transport through graphene oxide (GO) membrane is challenging, particularly in the aqueous environment due to its strong swelling tendency. Fine-tuning the interlayer spacing and chemistry is critical to create highly selective membranes. We investigate the effect of single-site divalent cations in tuning GO membrane properties. Competitive ionic permeation test indicates that Cu2+ cations dominate the transport through the 2D channels of GO membrane over other cations (Mg2+/Ca2+/Co2+). Without/With the single-site M2+ modifications, pristine GO, Mg-GO, Ca-GO, and Cu-GO membranes show interlayer spacings of similar to 13.6, 15.6, 14.5, and 12.3 A degrees in wet state, respectively. The Cu-GO membrane shows a two-fold decrease of NaCl (1 M) permeation rate comparing to pristine GO, Mg-GO, and Ca-GO membranes. In reverse osmosis tests using 1000 ppm NaCl and Na2SO4 as feeds, Cu-GO membrane shows rejection of similar to 78% and similar to 94%, respectively, which are 5%-10% higher than its counterpart membranes.
