Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively studied for membrane material for gas and liquid separation due to its outstanding features such as selective CO2 or water vapor transport properties. Although GO membranes can be easily fabricated in the form of thin-film composite membranes by using high-flux polymeric support membranes, it shows relatively low gas permeability due to high tortuosity. Here we report the way to improve gas permeation rate through porous graphene oxide by reducing the gas permeation pathway, with maintaining GO’s two-dimensional structure. We also used polymer, which has high CO2/N2 selectivity, and prepared GO/polymer composite membranes as a function of GO concentration. This study will provide a further insight on how such two-dimensional nanosheets can be harmonized with polymer and improved membrane properties.
