Epitaxial Stacking of Nanoporous Nanosheets for Next-generation Membranes

该项目旨在开发澳大利亚关键行业迫切需要的高精度选择性膜，用于溶质-溶质分离，通过使用二维多孔纳米片作为构建块构建垂直对齐和化学可定制的纳米通道。该项目预计将在纳米片合成和功能化，膜设计和制造，溶质的选择性运输和应用领域产生先进的知识。该项目开发的膜将使现有的分离工艺更加有效和可持续，并推动制药、乳制品和采矿业的新兴应用，为澳大利亚带来显著的经济和环境效益。

The project aims to develop high-precision selective membranes which are urgently needed in Australian key industries for solute-solute separation by constructing vertically-aligned and chemically-tailorable nanochannels using two-dimensional porous nanosheets as building blocks. The project expects to generate advanced knowledge in the areas of nanosheet synthesis and functionalisation, membrane design and fabrication, selective transport of solutes and applications. The membranes developed in the project should make existing separation processes more effective and sustainable and advance emerging applications in pharmaceutical, dairy and mining industries, providing significant economic and environmental benefits to Australia.
