    Abstract Image

    Graphene oxide has shown exceptional properties in terms of water permeability and filtration characteristics. Here the suitability of graphene oxide membranes for the spatial separation of hydronium and hydroxide ions after photocatalytic water splitting is demonstrated. Instead of relying on classical size exclusion by adjusting the membrane laminates’ interlayer spacings, nonmodified graphene oxide is used to exploit the presence of its natural functional groups and surface charges for filtration. Despite a significantly larger interlayer spacing inside the membrane compared with the size of the hydrated radii of the ions, highly asymmetric transport behavior and a 6 times higher mobility for hydronium than for hydroxide are observed. DFT simulations reveal that hydroxide ions are more prone to interact and stick to the functional groups of graphene oxide, while diffusion of hydronium ions through the membrane is less impeded and aligns well with the concept of the Grotthuss mechanism.
