In the November 2018 issue of Membrane Technology (pages 9–10) we reported that researchers in the UK, at the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute (NGI), have found a way of using electric current to precisely control water flow through smart membranes made from graphene. Using this material, scientists at the NGI have now succeeded for the first time in making artificial channels just one atom in size. The structures could help in the development of cost-effective, high-flux filters for water desalination and related technologies. Here, we briefly look at this development, which again highlights how membrane technology can potentially benefit from the unique properties of graphene.
