“…From nano-sized particles (e.g., carbon dots [18]), small molecules (e.g., piperazine [19], surfactant [20,21]) to polymer chains (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol [22]), different chemical species are manipulated to modulate nanostructures and properties of GO-based membranes. With the methodology to functionalize GObased materials, several kinds of membranes for separating specific mixtures [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] have been developed. Particularly for liquid separation processes like nanofiltration [31] and pervaporation [32], the structural stability of GO membranes is essential for molecular separation as GO may disintegrate when adsorbing excessive solvent molecules [33,34], and this situation may get worse for the liquid with a high flow rate promoting turbulence across the membrane surface to reduce con-centration polarization.…”
