Membranes, as the key component, not only provide enormous separation potential for energy purification but also guarantee stable and high-efficiency operation for rechargeable batteries and fuel cells. Remarkably, two-dimensional(2D) material separation membranes have attracted intense attention on their excellent performance in energy field applications, owing to high mechanical/chemical stability, low mass transport resistance, strict sizeexclusion, and abundant modifiable functional groups. In this review, we concentrate on the recent progress of 2D membrane and introduce 2D membranes based on graphene oxide(GO), MXenes, 2D MOFs, 2D COFs, and 2D zeolite nanosheets, which are applied in membrane separation(H2 collection and biofuel purification) and battery separators(vanadium flow battery, Li–S battery, and fuel cell). The mass transport mechanism, selectivity mechanism, and modification methods of these 2D membranes are stated in brief, mainly focusing on interlayer dominant membranes(GO and MXenes) and pore dominant membranes(MOFs, COFs, and zeolite nanosheets). In conclusion, we highlight the challenges and outlooks of applying 2D membranes in energy fields.展开更多

Exact theory of unsteady separation for two-dimensional flows. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 512, 257-311 (2004)). By analyzing the distribution of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) along the no-slip wall, it can be found that the periodic separation takes place at the point of the zero FTLE. This new criterion is verified with an analytical solution of the separation bubble and a numerical simulation of lid-driven cavity flows.展开更多

The results of the 2D TRLS provided more detailed information that was not readily observed in the 1D TRLS patterns. (i) During the first process of phase separation, the sequential order of coarsening in size of the domains among the larger and smaller ones has been reversed between the diffusion regime and the hydrodynamic regime. (ii) The change of the larger domains in size, due to the hydrodynamic flow in the late stage of the first phase separation process, keeps on taking place earlier than that of the new domains appeared in the secondary phase separation process. (iii) During the secondary phase separation process the size growth of the smaller domains takes place earlier than that of the larger ones, probably due to the assumption that the coarsening mode could decrease the interface tension more quickly.展开更多

Separation and analysis of its components have been widely investigated. However, the systematical two dimensional liquid chromatography(2D-LC) methods have not been developed to comprehensively separate and characterize its components.Objective: In this work, double off-line 2D-LC methods were aimed to develop for the systematical separation of compounds from Danshen.Methods: Using solid phase extraction(SPE), the Danshen extract was divided into a medium-polar fraction(Sample I) and a weak-polar fraction(Sample Ⅱ) according to their polarities. Based on reversed-phase liquid chromatography(RPLC) and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography(HILIC) modes, a 2D-HILIC × RPLC system and a 2D-RPLC × RPLC system were designed for the separation of Sample Ⅰ and Sample Ⅱ, respectively. According to reversed-phase and HILIC columns selectivities characterized in our previous reports, ZIC-HILIC and XTerra C18 were employed to build the 2D-HILIC × RPLC system and Click TE-CD and XTerra C18 for the 2D-RPLC × RPLC system,respectively.Results: The 2D-HILIC × RPLC and 2D-RPLC × RPLC systems exhibited excellent orthogonality for the separation of Sample Ⅰ and Sample Ⅱ,respectively. Their orthogonalities were 88.42% and 63.24%. Based on these double 2D-LC systems combined with mass spectrometry, at least 200 compounds were found and 33 compounds of them were identified, including 16 phenolic acids and 17 diterpenoid quinines.Conclusion: These results suggest that these two off-line 2D-LC methods are effective for the separation and characterization of components in Danshen.展开更多

UPC-32 features a 2 D microporous framework exhibits high adsorption of H2(118.2 cm3/g, 1.05 wt%, at 77 K), and adsorption heat(Qst) of CO2(34–46 k J/mol). UPC-32 with narrow distance between layers(3.8 ?) exhibits high selectivity of C3H6/CH4(31.46) and C3H8/CH4(28.04) at298 K and 1 bar.
