Abstract

Nanoscale materials are a promising desalination technology. While fast water flow in nanotubes is well understood, this is not the case for water permeability in single-layer membranes. The physical-chemical balance between nanopore size, shape, and charge might be the answer.

Keywords

water permeability nanopores desalination single-layer membranes nanopore size nanopore shape surface charge
