Two-Dimensional Nanofluidic Membranes with Nepenthes-Inspired Superstructures toward Boosting Solar-Driven Ionic Power Generation.

ABSTRACT: Photoinduced transmembrane ion transport in organisms provides a distinctive perspective for exploiting the ocean enriched with both ions and solar energy. Artificial two-dimensional nanofluidic membranes for photothermal-driven ion transport are facing issues such as interrupted nanofluidic transport and much dissipated heat. Peristome surface of Nepenthes enables stable wetting and rapid directional water transport correlated with orientational sophisticated flow-guiding microstructures, inspiring amelioration of these issues by regulating membrane topographies. A conformal layer-by-layer assembly is adopted to construct superstructured positively charged graphene oxide (PGO)/MXene membranes (SGMMs) that differ from topographies. These membranes enable anion-selective transport enhanced
