The first transition metal series TM–PP monolayer catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance during the process of electroreduction of CO2. The products have 2e− CO (Sc, Mn and Ni), HCOOH (Cr, Fe, Co, Cu and Zn), 8e− CH4 (Ti and V), and the overpotential of the reaction can be as low as 0.127 V.

Two-dimensional nanopores are very promising for high-permeance molecular sieving, but the molecular backflow from permeate-side to feed-side is not beneficial for improving molecular permeance. We study the quasi-unidirectional molecular transport through a graphene-hexagonal boron nitride bilayer nanopore, aiming to realize a high-permeance molecular sieving. Molecular dynamics simulations of CO2/CH4 separations show that the bilayer pore presents 3.7 times higher selectivity comparing to the single-layer graphene nanopore with the same size. The quasi-unidirectional molecular transport is attributed to the distinctive adsorption abilities of gas molecules on the two sides of bilayer nanopores and the inhibited molecular backflow from permeate-side to feed-side. This work provides a promising way to realize the ultra-permeable porous membranes with molecular permeance even higher than the single-layer atomic-thickness membranes.

AbstractTwo-dimensional crystals with angstrom-scale pores are widely considered as candidates for a next generation of molecular separation technologies aiming to provide extreme, exponentially large selectivity combined with high flow rates. No such pores have been demonstrated experimentally. Here we study gas transport through individual graphene pores created by low intensity exposure to low kV electrons. Helium and hydrogen permeate easily through these pores whereas larger species such as xenon and methane are practically blocked. Permeating gases experience activation barriers that increase quadratically with molecules’ kinetic diameter, and the effective diameter of the created pores is estimated as ∼2 angstroms, about one missing carbon ring. Our work reveals stringent conditions for achieving the long sought-after exponential selectivity using porous two-dimensional membranes and suggests limits on their possible performance.
