Bioinspired graphene membrane with temperature tunable channels for water gating and molecular separation

The smart regulation of substance permeability is highly desirable for membrane separation technologies. Here, the authors design a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-grafted graphene oxide membrane with temperature tunable lamellar spaces, allowing for water gating and size-variable molecular separations.
