Petrov, K.V. (author), Santoso, A. (author), Ryzhkov, Ilya I. (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author)Polymeric ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) are key to many electrochemical processes, but their intrinsic selectivity limitations restrict scale-up possibilities. Nanofluidic IEMs, based on inorganic rigid materials and charged nanopores, offer a promising alternative. We present design criteria for selective nanofluidic membranes. We used...journal article 2023
