摘要

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes offer high selectivity and energy-efficient gas separation. However, their dense, layered structure and tortuous diffusion paths limit permeability, posing a barrier to industrial use. Here we present a method to enhance selectivity and permeability, maintaining the structural stability of such membranes. With an industrially friendly manufacturing method, we produce crumpled GO membranes with gas diffusion pathways controlled by a multidomain structure. These membranes achieve H2 permeability of approximately 2.1 × 104 barrer, significantly surpassing the permeability of flat lamellar GO membranes, which is below 100 barrer. Its H2/CO2 selectivity of 91 outperforms current membrane technologies. In addition, the crumpled membranes demonstrate stability under harsh conditions (−20 °C, 96% relative humidity), a critical requirement for practical applications. This work addresses the long-standing permeability–selectivity trade-off and establishes a robust, scalable platform for integrating two-dimensional materials into membrane technology for real-world applications.
