Title: Atomistic and continuum scale modeling of functionalized graphyne membranes for water desalination

Abstract

Atomistic-scale simulations and upscale analysis are performed to examine permeability and desalination performance of functionalized graphyne membranes, characterizing the potential of energy savings and enhanced recovery rates in application to reverse osmosis desalination systems.
