Molecular Filter

摘要

A molecular filter is provided where the filter comprises of sheets of few layered graphene, few layered oxidized graphene and edge-functionalized graphene oxide. The water molecules are drawn into the filter based on the different hydrophobic and hydrophilic characters of the layers. The water molecule travels through the layers and gaps between the sheets and the direction can be modified based on the arrangement and ratios of the sheet materials.
