A method to make inorganic membranes on the surface of aqueous solutions

A generalizable technique has been developed to create diverse functional inorganic membranes on the surface of various aqueous solutions. The technique ensures that the air–liquid interface receives a continuous supply of floating particles, which then assemble dynamically to form continuous membranes.

This is a summary of: Zhang, C. et al. Mechanistic formulation of inorganic membranes at the air–liquid interface. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-05809-y (2023).
