Abstract:Membrane-based desalination have an important role in water purification. Inspired by highly performant biological proteins, artificial water channels (AWC) have been proposed as active components to overcome the permeability/selectivity trade-off of desalination processes. Promising performances have been reported with Pillararene crystalline phases revealing impressive molecular-scale separation performances, when used as selective porous materials. Herein, we demonstrate that Pillar[5]arene PA [5] aggregate… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
