Abstract

Two-dimensional nanochannel membrane is a new membrane composed of two-dimensional nanosheets with atomic layer thickness and stacked by self-assembly. Compared with traditional separation membranes，its ion separation behavior has many unique characteristics，and has important potential applications in seawater desalination，energy storage and conversion，rare element extraction and separation，and other fields. These materials have attracted great interest and wide attention from researchers. It has become an important development direction and research hotspot in the field of membrane separation science and technology in recent years. In this paper，the construction strategy，performance evaluation method and mass transfer mechanism of two-dimensional nanochannel membranes were systematically summarized from the perspective of two-dimensional nanochannel membranes used for accurate ion sieving. The latest research progress in the preparation and application of two-dimensional nanochannel membranes in recent years was reviewed，and the development trend was prospected. We hope this review can provide enlightenment for structure design and optimization，performance enhancement，large-scale preparation and engineering applications of two-dimensional nanochannel membranes in the future.
