▎ 摘　　要

Multilayered graphene-based membranes are promising for a variety of applications related to ion or molecule transport, such as energy storage and water treatment. However, the complex three-dimensional cascading nanoslit-like structure embedded in the membrane makes it difficult to interpret and rationalize experimental results, quantitatively compare with the traditional membrane systems, and quantitatively design new membrane structures. In this paper, systematic numerical simulations were performed to establish an equivalent onedimensional (1D) nanochannel model to represent the structure of multilayered graphene membranes. We have established a quantitative relationship between effective diffusion length L-eff and cross-section area A(eff) of the 1D model and our recently developed two dimensional (2D) representative microstructure for graphene membranes. We find that only in the cases of a relatively large lateral size L (> similar to 100 nm) and a small slit size h (< 2 nm), the effective diffusion length L-eff and A(eff) can be calculated by an over-simplified but often used model. Otherwise, they show complex dependence on all three structural parameters of the 2D structural model. Our equivalent 1D nano-channel model can reproduce experimental results very well except for h < 0.5 nm. The discrepancy could be attributed to the anomalous behaviour of molecules under nano-confinement that is not considered in our simulations. This model can also be extended to multilayered membranes assembled by other 2D materials.
