         Recently, Tao Yehan, the postgraduate student from College of Science has her research findings  “Tunable Hydrogen Separation in Porous Graphene Membrane: First-Principle and Molecular Dynamic Simulation” published on the cover of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (2014, 6 (11), 8048–8058, Front Cover). The journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is sponsored by American Chemical Society.

        Hydrogen gas, odorless and non-toxic, is regarded as the most potential environmental-friendly new energy in the 21th century. The separation and purification of hydrogen gas is the critical problem that restricts the wide application of hydrogen energy. The author researched the hydrogen seperation in Porous Graphene Membrane by First-Principle and Molecular Dynamic Simulation. She found that hydrogen can be efficiently separated from mixture of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and hydrogen in Porous Graphene PG-ES Membrane. The paper also explained the principle of gas separation in Porous Graphene PG-ES Membrane with the energy barrier modal. The research is significant for the design of new efficient hydrogen separation membrane. The research is sponsored by National Nature Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Education of China and China University of Petroleum.
