Abstract

Abstract : Facile fabrication of large‐area atomically thin membranes is reported by Piran R. Kidambi, Rohit Karnik, and co‐workers in article number1804977 . A simple reduction in temperature during the synthesis allows direct formation of nanopores in graphene. By solution‐casting a hierarchically porous support on nanoporous graphene, large‐area atomically thin membranes for dialysis applications are demonstrated. The image shows nanoporous graphene transferred on to porous polycarbonate supports (photograph by Felice Frankel).
