  • Separation membranes formed from perforated graphene and methods for use thereof
    Patent number: 9844757
    Abstract: Perforated graphene sheets can be used in forming separation membranes. Separation membranes of the present disclosure, which can be used in gas separation processes in some embodiments, can include one or more polymer layers and one or more layers of perforated graphene. Methods for separating a gas mixture can include contacting a gas mixture with the separation membranes, and transiting one or more of the gases through the perforated graphene so as to affect separation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
    Inventors: Steven W. Sinton, Peter V. Bedworth, Padraig Moloney
