Air separation with graphene mediated by nanowindow-rim concerted motion

Graphene with nanowindows can have 1000 times higher permeability and four times the selectivity for air separation than conventional membranes, Vallejos-Burgos et al. reveal by molecular simulation, due to flexibility at the nanoscale and thermal vibrations of the nanowindows' functional group...
