Functionalized boron nitride membranes with ultrafast solvent transport performance for molecular separation

2D materials show promise for membrane filtration technologies, but their permeance to organic solvents is typically poor. Here, the authors prepare functionalized boron nitride membranes with high flux and high molecular separation performances in both aqueous solutions and organic solvents.
