Abstract

In article number 2001721, Takeshi Sakamoto, Hiroyuki Katayama, Takashi Kato, and co-workers achieve high virus removal for liquid-crystalline water treatment membranes. The liquid crystal forms 2D lamellar nanochannels allowing superior virus removal while maintaining efficient water flux. The removal efficiency is 99.999994%. Self-assembly of smectic liquid crystals and subsequent photopolymerization leads to the formation of nanostructured 2D materials.
