Fabrication of Graphene oxide membrane with multiple “Plug-ins” for efficient dye nanofiltration

The membranes based on graphene oxide (GO) have shown vast perspectives in nanofiltration, while the swelling of GO membranes in water environment poses a critical challenge for practical applications. In this study, we report the simple fabrication of stable GO membranes in water environment through intercalating multiple “plug-ins”: the filter of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the crosslinker of trimesoyl chloride (TMC), which can significantly...
