Graphdiyne (GDY), a rising star of carbon allotropes, features a two-dimensional all-carbon
network with the cohybridization of sp and sp2 carbon atoms and represents a trend and …

Different from conventional materials, materials with negative Poisson's ratios expand
laterally when stretched longitudinally. Known as 'auxetic'materials, the effect means they …

Graphynes (GYs) are carbon allotropes with single-atom thickness that feature layered 2D
structure assembled by carbon atoms with sp-and sp2-hybridization form. Various functional …

Graphene and other two-dimensional materials offer a new approach to controlling mass
transport at the nanoscale. These materials can sustain nanoscale pores in their rigid …

In this paper, a review of emerging desalination technologies is presented. Several
technologies for desalination of municipal and industrial wastewater have been proposed …

While single-layer nanoporous graphene (NPG) has shown promise as a reverse osmosis
(RO) desalination membrane, multilayer graphene membranes can be synthesized more …
