Stitching graphene oxide sheets into a membrane at a liquid/liquid interface.
Layer-by-layer patterned GO membrane assembling at a liquid/liquid interface was realized using polyetheramine "stitching" molecules with an adjustable hydrophobicity and its thickness can be easily tuned from nanometer to micrometer by controlling reaction kinetics including reactant concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature.
