Abstract
Membranes could reform the field of molecular separations by enabling new low energy manufacturing technologies. This review article discusses the current state of the art and the potential in the 2D-enabled membrane separation processes by highlighting emerging and existing areas in which robust 2D materials significantly impact the energy-efficient separation process. Analysis of 2D-enabled membrane classes and prospective materials for 2D-enabled membranes are also discussed with emphasis on the surface chemistry of basal plane engineered 2D materials.
