Graphene oxide membranes hold promising application potential in molecular nanofiltration, but the traditional selectivity-permeability trade-off is still a challenge. Here, an interfacial redox reaction strategy based on poly(m-phenylenediamine)-graphene oxide (PmPD-GO) interaction was successfully designed to achieve the fabrication of an ultrathin graphene oxide membrane (∼28 nm) with a reasonable reduction state (C/O ratio of 11.2) and adequate interlayer spacing stabilized at 8 ± 0.5 Å, which supplies not only a favorable microenvironment for fast water transport but also a suitable interlayer distance for molecules gating. The resultant membrane exhibits a high permeance of 72 LMH/bar and an exceptional dye rejection rate exceeding 98%. Moreover, the gentle gradient-reduced graphene oxide membrane has significantly improved stability under long-term immersion, pH tolerance, and ultrasonic treatment tests. This research provided a simple and effective strategy for fabricating two-dimensional lamellar membranes with promising prospects for practical nanofiltration applications.

The development of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries must meet the demands for high safety, high energy density, and fast-charging performance. TiNbO is notable for its high theoretical specific capacity, low structural strain, and exceptional fast-charging capability, attributed to its Wadsley-Roth crystal structure. However, its inherently poor conductivity has hindered its practical application.

In recent years, light-controlled ion transport systems have attracted widespread attention, however, the use of photoresponsive materials suffers from rapid carrier recombination, thermal field limitations, and narrow spectral response, which significantly restricts their performance enhancement in osmotic energy conversion. This study innovatively couples "blue energy" (osmotic energy) with "green energy" (solar energy), assembling graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide/sulfonated cellulose nanocrystal (GO/ MoS/CNC) ion-channel membranes. Under solar irradiation, the energy level difference between MoS and GO effectively suppresses the recombination of photogenerated carriers, generating more active electrons and significantly enhancing the carrier density, thereby improving the current flux and ion selectivity.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins that pose great health threats to humans. Herein, an aptasensor-based fluorescent signal amplification strategy is developed for the detection of AFB1. Initially, the AFB1 aptamers labelled with carboxyfluorescein (FAM) are adsorbed onto graphene oxide (GO), triggering energy transfer.

This study presents a straightforward and rapid method for preparing graphene aerogel by integrating a sodium alginate (SA)-metal ion crosslinking system, a bubble template, and an osmotic dehydration process. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were dispersed into the solution crosslinked by SA and metal ions, leading to rapid gelation of GO under ambient conditions. To minimize structural damage to the porous network caused by water molecules during the drying process, an osmotic dehydration technique was employed as an auxiliary drying method.

The rapid increase in population has driven the demand for fossil fuel energy, contributing to increased carbon emissions that ultimately accelerate global warming and climate change. Battery storage systems have many advantages over conventional energy sources. However, they face limitations such as energy storage, cost, and environmental hazards that come with the use of chemical binders.
