Membranes with the ability of molecular/ionic separation offer potential in many processes
ranging from molecular purification/sensing, to nanofluidics and to mimicking biological …

An ideal molecular filtration membranes should be highly permeable and selective, thus
desiring the membranes to be ultrathin, be highly porous, and consists of small and uniform …

Membrane separation technologies are of great interest in industrial processes such as
water purification, gas separation, and materials synthesis. However, commercial filtration …

A mesoporous membrane composed of nanochannels with a uniform diameter has a
potential use for precise size-exclusive separation of molecules. Here, we report a novel …

We report on our use of a thin-layered vertical mesoporous silica thin film (MSTF) with
tunable pore size overlaid on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane for advancing …

A nature-inspired mesoporous ultrafiltration membrane with unprecedented permeability
and high selectivity for selective protein and nanoparticle separations is reported herein. We …

This study presents a simple approach to perform selective mass transport through
freestanding porous silicon (pSi) membranes. pSi membranes were fabricated by the …

Silica thin films with accessible hexagonal close-packed (HCP) pores have been deposited
on macroporous supports to achieve composite nanofiltration membranes. The properties of …

Silica nanochannel membranes, particularly those consisting of highly ordered and vertically
aligned channels (designated as SNM for simplicity in this review), have recently emerged …

The precise and rapid separation of different molecules from aqueous, organic solutions and
gas mixtures is critical to many technologies in the context of resource-saving and …
