We designed a monolayer nanoporous graphene membrane and revealed the influence of nanopore density on its ethylene/acetylene separation performance by employing molecular dynamics simulations. Our results indicate that an optimal nanopore density exists for permeation flux and selectivity.

DNA charged negatively could be transported through a solid nanopore by the force of an electrical field. Recently, the nice properties of graphene attract a lot of researchers. In this paper, A single graphene membrane was punched to form a nanopore and a ds-DNA was driven to pass through the pore by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. The single graphene membrane was demonstrated useful in DNA sequencing. It suggested that the velocity of DNA translocating through a single graphene pore could be controlled by adjusting the appropriate voltage and the diameter of the nanopore.

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to provide valuable information about the translocation of four single-stranded DNAs with ten identical bases through graphene nanopore with diameter of 2 nm. The monolayer graphene nanopore is highly sensitive to ssDNA translocation events and the 10-base resolution detection can be realized by electrophoreticly threading ssDNA through graphene nanopore. Due to the similar sizes of the four nucleotides, the blockage current is unlikely to provide a distinguishable signal. However, by simply monitoring and analyzing the translocation time of poly(dA)10, poly(dC)10, poly(dG)10 and poly(dT)10 though graphene pore, each ssDNA can be identified and characterized.
