Abstract (EN): Graphene, because of its extraordinary properties, such as atomic thickness, high mechanical strength, large surface area, two-dimensional structure, and large Young modulus, has been considered to be perfect membrane material, because it is only atomically thick and thus may be made into membranes that minimize transport resistance and maximize permeate flux. Theoretical models predict that graphene would be an ideal membrane in terms of selectivity and permeability by creating sub-nanometer sized pores in the two-dimensional lattice exhibiting superior separation performances for gas and water molecules. This chapter focuses on the preparation, properties, and applications of graphene-based membranes, considering gas separation and water treatment (purification and desalination) and their potential use as next-generation membranes in the oil and gas industry. It offers a comprehensive discussion of graphene-based membranes, from a broad perspective of separation applications up to advanced membranes with improved separation performance.
