Abstract Graphene-derived membranes has gained much interest recently due to its promising potential in filtration and separation applications. Molecular Sieving phenomena of gas molecules in the interlayer of graphene oxide nanopore have been investigated using molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. We explore I-129 gas radionuclides sequestration from natural air in nanoporous graphene oxide membranes in which different sizes and geometries of pores were modeled on the graphene oxide sheet. In the present work, mean-squared displacement (MSD), diffusion, flow of gas and the number of crossed gas molecules through graphene oxide nanopore membrane have been calculated and the results showed, selective proper nanopores in graphene oxide membrane could dramatically improve separation. The aim of this paper is to show that for the well-defined pore size called P-12, it is possible to separate I-129 from a gas mixture containing I-129, O2 and N2. The results would be benefited by the oil industry and others.

Graphene oxide (GO) can dramatically enhance the gas separation performance of membrane technologies beyond the limits of conventional membrane materials in terms of both permeability and selectivity. Graphene oxide membranes can allow extremely high fluxes because of their ultimate thinness and unique layered structure. In addition, their high selectivity is due to the molecular sieving or diffusion effect resulting from their narrow pore size distribution or their unique surface chemistry. In the first part of this review, we briefly discuss different mechanisms of gas transport through membranes, with an emphasis on the proposed mechanisms for gas separation by GO membranes. In the second part, we review the methods for GO membrane preparation and characterization. In the third part, we provide a critical review of the literature on the application of different types of GO membranes for CO2, H2, and hydrocarbon separation. Finally, we provide recommendations for the development of high-performance GO membranes for gas separation applications.

Ultrathin, molecular-sieving membranes have great potential to realize high-flux, high-selectivity mixture separation at low energy cost. Current microporous membranes [pore size < 1 nanometer (nm)], however, are usually relatively thick. With the use of current membrane materials and techniques, it is difficult to prepare microporous membranes thinner than 20 nm without introducing extra defects. Here, we report ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) membranes, with thickness approaching 1.8 nm, prepared by a facile filtration process. These membranes showed mixture separation selectivities as high as 3400 and 900 for H2/CO2 and H2/N2 mixtures, respectively, through selective structural defects on GO.
