Abstract

It is understood that nano-channels of graphene oxide membranes have a water flow mechanism which is similar to the water flow inside carbon nanotube pores. The water transport mechanisms recently proposed by various researchers suggest that membranes composed of graphene oxide laminates could be regarded as an assembly of many tiny carbon nanotubes stacked together with attached functional groups as spacers.
