Popis: The molecular transport and quantum tunneling of H2 and H2O molecules through nanoporous graphene is studied using computational modeling and first-principles density functional theory. It is demonstrated that molecules with sufficiently high kinetic energies can tunnel through nanopores. It is also demonstrated that molecules can be trapped in front of a nanopore or behind it. These investigations help us learn the behavior of molecules in and around the nanopores of graphene. They also help us learn the fundamentals of molecular tunneling. We believe nanoporous graphene can play important roles for gas separation and nanofiltration.
