Graphene Oxide Membrane with Recognition Sites for Efficient Separation of Mono-/Di-valent Metal Ions
Desalination(2025)
Abstract
Extracting high-purity potassium chloride step by step from a mixed salt solution of potassium chloride and magnesium chloride after eliminating sodium chloride is a high-tech challenge. The separation of K+ and Mg2+ is quite difficult due to their similar sub-nanometer size. Herein, aniline-N-propanesulfonic acid (AnPS) with sulfonate groups was introduced to provide different ion binding affinity to improve the ion selectivity ratio of K+ and Mg2+, an ultrathin sulfonate-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) intercalated into a graphene oxide (GO) membrane, named GO/ZS/MOF membrane, was successfully synthesized for efficient potassium extraction. The aplenty sulfonate groups in GO sub-nanochannel membrane serve as recognition sites allowing rapid potassium ion pass through, conduciving to high potassium ion permeability. Then, the differential affinity of dehydrated K+, Li+, and Mg2+ ions to the sulfonate groups further improve the selectivity of potassium ions, the GO/ZS/MOF membrane exhibited an extraordinary selectivity of 207.7 for K+/Mg2+, 8.3 for K+/Li+ in ternary ion solution, respectively. Theoretical calculations also indicate that the difference of ion charge and binding affinity are also the main reason for the increasing of ion separation ratio except the size-sieving effect. This timely work will provide a new pathway for understanding the extraction of potassium from salt lake brine, and open up a new avenue for construction of highly permselective graphene oxide based membranes.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
