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.

Freshwater is one of the most important sources in daily life. However, freshwater resources are very scarce at present. As a consequence, water desalination remains an important challenge in solving the problem of the shortage of freshwater resources. As an effective technique, membrane-based desalination has been developed to be a mature solution to solve the problem of water desalination. Graphene oxide membranes have been considered important membrane materials for water desalination due to their high stability and high hydrophilicity. In such review, this paper will introduce three kinds of recently-developed graphene oxide membranes for water desalination, which respectively are mixed matrix membrane, reduced nanoporous graphene oxide membrane, and GO/C60 membrane. Firstly, the structure and characteristics of each membrane are introduced; then, the processes of how to make these membranes are described. Additionally, this study compares them with other novel methods for water desalination. In the end, on the basis of graphene oxide membranes, it could be seen that these three membranes are more promising.

Brodie's GO sheets are prepared, characterized and compared to Hummers’ GO sheets. GO-B membranes are synthesized on polyester substrates using filtration. Permeability reduction of large gas molecules (CH4, N2 and CO2) is more significant compared to permeability reduction of small gas molecules (H2 and He). Pressure filtration enhances the packing density of GO-B sheets.

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.
