Resolution of resources and environmental crises requires an efficient separation technologies, consequently, scientists and engineers are working vigorously for ideal separation materials. Laminar graphene oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional (2D) material offers considerable interest in this field due to its single atomic layer thickness, good stability, chemical inertness, and variety of functional groups. Recently, GO have emerged as a novel membrane material for molecular and ionic separation of gases, solvent, water, and desalination applications. This tutorial review aims to discuss the various approaches used to control the stacking of GO-based membrane with emphasis of advantages and drawbacks associated with each approach. Further, attention will also be given to describe the recent progress in GO based membranes for ionic and molecular separations. Meanwhile, challenges and opportunities will also be discussed in detail. We hope this review expected to provide a compact source of information that will be of great interest to chemists, material scientists, physicists, and engineers working or planning to work in GO based membranes for separation applications.
解决资源和环境危机需要高效的分离技术，因此，科学家和工程师们正在积极致力于寻找理想的分离材料。层状氧化石墨烯（GO）是一种二维（2D）材料，由于其单原子层厚度、良好的稳定性、化学惰性以及多种官能团，在该领域引起了极大的关注。最近，GO已成为用于气体、溶剂、水的分子和离子分离以及海水淡化应用的新型膜材料。本教程综述旨在讨论用于控制基于GO的膜的堆叠的各种方法，重点介绍每种方法的优缺点。此外，还将关注描述基于GO的离子和分子分离膜的最新进展。同时，也将详细讨论挑战和机遇。我们希望这篇综述能为从事或计划从事基于GO的分离应用膜研究的化学家、材料科学家、物理学家和工程师提供一个紧凑的信息源，具有极大的参考价值。
