Liquid separation by a graphene membrane

The behavior of liquids separated by a single graphene membrane has been studied with extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at ambient conditions. With the help of appropriate empirical potentials, we have exploited two liquid phases forming distinct systems; say XGY, where G stands for graphene and X (Y) represents water (W), benzene (B), or acetonitrile (A). Our MD simulations revealed important changes in the wettability patterns of...
