Restricting ionic liquid in a network comprising of GO/CNT as a separation membrane for efficient CO2 capture by Dinesh K. Behera, Fan Wang, Bratin Sengupta, Qiaobei Dong, Weiwei Xu, Shiguang Li, Miao Yu

“…This GO/CNT hybrid network not only stabilizes the IL within the nanochannels because of interactions between cations of IL and negatively charged functional groups on GO (carboxyl, hydroxyl and carboxy groups) but also facilitates faster transport (increased nanochannels because of CNT incorporation) yielding a CO2 permeance of ∼600 GPU (one order of magnitude higher than reported membranes employing the same ionic liquid) and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 62 under humid conditions and elevated temperatures (up to 80 ​°C). …”
