Proton Selective Nanoporous Atomically Thin Graphene Membranes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries. [PDF]

Adv Mater
A scalable high‐performance proton‐exchange‐membrane architecture is demonstrated that integrates monolayer CVD graphene with Ar plasma‐engineered Angstrom‐scale proton‐selective pores, stacked to mitigate non‐selective defects, and interfaced with an ultrathin (≈300 nm) polybenzimidazole layer sandwiched between two Nafion 211 sheets.
