Monolayer Vermiculite Membranes for Efficient Hydrogen Isotope Separation

Abstract

H/D isotope separation faces critical challenges in terms of separation efficiency and cost. This study reports the successful fabrication of a vermiculite monolayer membrane using a modified-Langmuir-Blodgett filming method. The scale-up potential with low membrane defects of monolayer membranes is promising for prompting application of cost-effective H/D separation.
