Fig. 3: Desalination behaviors on organic ion-GO membranes.

a Effects of cation or anion intercalation on the desalination performance of GO-based membranes (pervaporation conditions: P = ~200 Pa, T = 70 °C, CNaCl = 3.5 wt%). b Temperature dependence of desalination with GO membrane and MB-GO membrane (P = ~200 Pa, CNaCl = 3.5 wt%). c Effects of ionic valence on the desalination with GO and MB-GO membranes (P = ~200 Pa, T = 70 °C, Csalt = 3000 ppm, the same legends as that in Fig. 2b). d Long-term stabilities of MB-GO and [AVlm]-GO membranes for desalination ((P = ~200 Pa, T = 70 °C, CNaCl = 1 wt%). The error bars in (a–c) are the standard error of the mean (s.e.m).
