reported that graphene monolayers and BN membranes could separate hydrogen ion isotopes with a separation factor of about 10 . For a better comparison
of related membranes, a summary of gas separation membranes is shown in Table 3.
Ion sieving
Recently, researchers have paid increasing attention to high-performance ion sieve membranes in addition to traditional separation methods. Membranes with
various properties are required to meet the different needs of ion sieve membranes for applications such as water desalination, microcurrent, hydrogen
production, and energy storage.
In seawater desalination, stringent channel dimensions are necessary, with nanochannels often needing to be sub-nanometers in size to achieve ultra-high
desalination efficiency. Chen et al. reported a graphene desalination membrane with sub-nanopores that achieved 99.99% NaCl rejection with an ultrafast
water flux combined with evaporation methods [Figure 10E] . In energy storage applications, ion sieve membranes are often used as diaphragms, where
[167]
excellent ionic conductivity and electrical insulation are required. Ghazi et al. synthesize a MoS /celgard separator with outstanding lithium ion passage and
2
polysulfide retention capacity, which can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur batteries, significantly improving the battery performance .
