▎ 摘  要

By intercalating monolayer titania (TO) nanosheets into graphene oxide (GO) laminates with mild ultraviolet (UV) reduction, the as-prepared RGO/TO hybrid membranes exhibit excellent water desalination performances. Without external hydrostatic pressures, the ion permeations through the RGO/TO hybrid membranes can be reduced to <5% compared with the GO/TO cases, while the water transmembrane permeations, which are measured using an isotope-labeling technique, can be retained up to similar to 60%. The mechanism for the excellent water desalination performances of the RGO/TO hybrid laminates is discussed, which indicates that the photoreduction of GO by TO is responsible for the effective rejection of ions, while the photoinduced hydrophilic conversion of TO under UV irradiation is responsible for the well-retained water permeabilities. These excellent properties make RGO/TO hybrid membranes favorable for practical water desalination.
