Two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO)-based lamellar membranes have been widely developed for desalination, water purification, gas separation, and pervaporation. However, membranes with a well-organized multilayer structure and controlled pore size remain a challenge. Herein, an easy and efficient method is used to fabricate MoO@GO and WO@GO nanocomposite membranes with controlled structure and interlayer spacing. Such membranes show good separation for salt and heavy metal ions due to the intensive stacking interaction and electrostatic attraction. The as-prepared composite membranes showed high rejection rates (˃70%) toward small metal ions such as sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg) ions. In addition, both membranes also showed high rejection rates ˃99% for nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) ions with good water permeability of 275 ± 10 L m h bar. We believe that our fabricated membranes will have a bright future in next generation desalination and water purification membranes.
基于二维氧化石墨烯（GO）的层状膜已被广泛应用于海水淡化、水净化、气体分离和渗透蒸发等领域。然而，制备具有有序多层结构和可控孔径的膜仍然是一个挑战。在此，我们采用一种简便高效的方法制备了具有可控结构和层间距的MoO@GO和WO@GO纳米复合膜。由于强烈的堆积相互作用和静电吸引作用，这类膜对盐和重金属离子表现出良好的分离性能。所制备的复合膜对钠（Na）和镁（Mg）等小金属离子具有较高的截留率（>70%）。此外，两种膜对镍（Ni）和铅（Pb）离子的截留率也均大于99%，且具有良好的水渗透性，为275±10 L m h bar。我们相信，我们制备的膜在下一代海水淡化和水净化膜领域将具有广阔的前景。
