Ultra-breathable and protective membranes with sub-5 nm carbon nanotube pores

Patent Fornasiero, Francesco ; Wu, Kuang Jen J. ; Kim, Sangil

In one embodiment, a product includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes and a fill material in interstitial spaces between the carbon nanotubes for limiting or preventing fluidic transfer between opposite sides of the product except through interiors of the carbon nanotubes. Moreover, the longitudinal axes of the carbon nanotubes are substantially parallel, where an average inner diameter of the carbon nanotubes is about 20 nanometers or less. In addition, the ends of the carbon nanotubes are open and the fill material is impermeable or having an average porosity that is less than the average inner diameter of the carbon nanotubes.

Fast Water Transport through Subnanometer Diameter Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Membranes

Journal Article Yang, Da-Chi ; Castellano, Richard J. ; Silvy, Ricardo Prada ; ... - Nano Letters

Small-diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have outstanding mass-transport properties, especially enhanced water flow. Here, we report on water transport through the first macroscopic membranes with vertically oriented, subnanometer (0.8 nm) CNT pores, made by a scalable, solution-based method with electric-field alignment of bulk-grown single-wall CNTs (SWCNTs). After plasma etching to open pores, vertically aligned CNTs served as the primary pathway for liquid-water transport. The CNT membranes showed fast pressure-driven water transport, with up to 105-fold enhancement compared to no-slip Hagen–Poiseuille flow. Comparing 0.8 and 3 nm CNTs, we found that the hydrodynamic slip lengths increased with decreasing nanotube diameter, reaching 8.5more »« less

Scalable electric-field-assisted fabrication of vertically aligned carbon nanotube membranes with flow enhancement

Journal Article Castellano, Richard J. ; Praino, Robert F. ; Meshot, Eric R. ; ... - Carbon

In this work, we report a solution-based approach for fabricating vertically aligned carbon-nanotube (VACNT) membranes, which improves on the unaligned nature of CNT mixed-matrix membranes. This approach addresses important challenges regarding scalability and incorporation of different types and sizes of nanotube as pores in a membrane. In a new, solvent-deposition approach, CNTs are dispersed and then aligned and concentrated via electro-deposition from an organic solvent, using a composite AC + DC electric field to form aligned CNT arrays. This enables VACNT number densities that are two orders-of-magnitude higher than possible from direct suspension of CNTs in the liquid oligomer. Themore »« less

Silicon Nanoribbon pH Sensors Protected by a Barrier Membrane with Carbon Nanotube Porins

Journal Article Chen, Xi ; Zhang, Huanan ; Tunuguntla, Ramya H. ; ... - Nano Letters

Limited biocompatibility and fouling propensity can restrict real-world applications of a large variety of biosensors. Biological systems are adept at protecting and separating vital components of biological machinery with semipermeable membranes that often contain defined pores and gates to restrict transmembrane transport only to specific species. Here we use a similar approach for creating fouling-resistant pH sensors. We integrate silicon nanoribbon transistor sensors with an antifouling lipid bilayer coating that contains proton-permeable carbon nanotube porin (CNTP) channels and demonstrate robust pH detection in a variety of complex biological fluids.
