Recent progress in spatial regulation of synthetic and biological nanoparticles by DNA nanotechnology has been summarized, including not only the static arrangement of inorganic nanoparticles but also the dynamic regulation of organic and biological units at a nanometer scale.
By intercalating monolayer titania nanosheets (TO) into graphene oxide (GO) laminates, assisted with mild ultraviolet reduction, the as-prepared hybrid membranes exhibit excellent water desalination performances. The photoreduction of GO by TO is responsible for the effective rejection of ions, while the photoinduced hydrophilic conversion of TO is responsible for the well-retained water permeabilities.
