Open AccessUnit-cell-thick zeolitic imidazolate framework films for membrane application
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subset of metal–organic frameworks with more than 200 characterized crystalline and amorphous networks made of divalent transition metal centres (for example, Zn2+ and...

Precise molecular sieving of ethylene from ethane using triptycene-derived submicroporous carbon membranes
Replacement or debottlenecking of the extremely energy-intensive cryogenic distillation technology for the separation of ethylene from ethane has been a long-standing challenge. Membrane technology could be a ...

Eliminating lattice defects in metal–organic framework molecular-sieving membranes
Metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes are energy-efficient candidates for molecular separations, but it remains a considerable challenge to eliminate defects at the atomic scale. The enlargement of pores due...

Fast water transport and molecular sieving through ultrathin ordered conjugated-polymer-framework membranes
The development of membranes that block solutes while allowing rapid water transport is of great importance. The microstructure of the membrane needs to be rationally designed at the molecular level to achieve...

Wafer-scale single-crystal monolayer graphene grown on sapphire substrate
The growth of inch-scale high-quality graphene on insulating substrates is desirable for electronic and optoelectronic applications, but remains challenging due to the lack of metal catalysis. Here we demonstr...
