Title: Controllable corrugation of chemically converted graphene sheets in water and potential application for nanofiltration
Author(s): Qiu, Ling; Zhang, Xuehua; Yang, Wenrong; Wang, Yufei; Simon, George P.; Li, Dan
Abstract: A combination of AFM, SEM and permeation experiments suggests that the amplitude of corrugation of chemically converted graphene (CCG) sheets in water can be readily controlled by hydrothermal treatment, leading to a new class of permeation-tuneable nanofiltration membranes.
