Water filters allowing precise and fast sieving of salts and organic molecules have been revealed by University of Manchester scientists. Graphene has proven itself as a wonder material with a vast ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute (NGI) have achieved a long-sought-after objective of electrically controlling water flow through membranes, as reported in ...

One of these is based on the heat treatment of silicon carbide ... been shown that immersing graphite oxide in water results in the dispersion of graphene sheets that can then be stabilized ...

A highly used and facile method for applying graphene to a support membrane is by vacuum filtration, whereby the graphene is mixed well and suspended in a solvent, which is then filtered through the ...

Researchers at the University of Manchester have found a way to improve a graphene-based filter mechanism that could help convert sea water to potable water. Pure graphene can do the job ...

Their results have been published in Nature. The paper shows new perspectives for applications in water filtration or sensor technology. Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and resistant ...
