Materials Design for Graphene-Based Separations

Our planet’s health needs an acceleration in the pace of progress towards clean and sustainable technologies that are critically dependent on materials innovation. Materials science and engineering provides the ability to understand and control matter at the atomic scale to realize optimized performance across an exhaustive set of metrics. In this talk, I will discuss our work related to the materials design of resilient, graphene-based nanofiltration membranes for more efficient industrial separations, which are responsible for 15% of global CO2 emissions.
