Abstract

We theoretically demonstrate that the two-dimensional porous C2N sheet exhibits an extremely high selectivity and large permeance in favour of H2 among other atmospheric gases. This experimentally available porous C2N is superior to traditional membranes, such as polymers and silica, and could have great potential for hydrogen separation.
