This manuscript reports the preparation of a large area (84 cm2) desalination membrane based on multilayers (11 nm thickness) of B,N-codoped defective graphene. The process consists of coating a porous ceramic α-Al2O3 support (100 nm pore size) with a continuous nanometric (50 nm) chitosan film containing adsorbed (NH4)3BO3. Subsequent pyrolysis in the presence of hydrogen converts chitosan into multilayer defective B,N-codoped graphene. The partial removal of B and N dopant atoms by H2 during the pyrolysis causes the generation of subnanometric pores due to atom vacancy, as determined by control experiments in the absence of this gas. A NaCl and KCl removal efficiency from brackish water higher than 95 % for a permeate flux of 24.3 L m-2 h-1 at 10 bars were achieved.

用于水脱盐的大面积连续多层石墨烯膜
该手稿报道了基于多层B,N掺杂缺陷石墨烯(厚度为11 nm)的大面积(84 cm 2)淡化膜的制备。该过程包括涂覆的多孔陶瓷的α-Al的2 ö 3载体(100纳米孔径)用连续的纳米(50纳米)脱乙酰壳多糖的含吸附膜(NH 4)3 BO 3。随后在氢存在下的热解将壳聚糖转化为多层有缺陷的B,N掺杂的石墨烯。H 2部分去除B和N掺杂原子在热解过程中,由于原子空位而导致产生亚纳米孔,这是在没有这种气体的情况下通过对照实验确定的。对于10 bar的24.3 L m -2 h -1的渗透通量,从微咸水中去除NaCl和KCl的效率高于95%。
