Biomimetic KcsA channels with ultra-selective K+ transport for monovalent ion sieving
Materials for the selective transport of K+ have application in a variety of fields including water desalination and separation processes. Here the authors report charged porous subnanometer cages that are inspired in biological KcsA channels; high K+ transport rates and high K+/Li+ and K+/Na+ selec...

| description | Materials for the selective transport of K+ have application in a variety of fields including water desalination and separation processes. Here the authors report charged porous subnanometer cages that are inspired in biological KcsA channels; high K+ transport rates and high K+/Li+ and K+/Na+ selectivity ratios are obtained, showing great potential in advanced sieving processes and efficient water treatments. |
