A new approach to separate hydrogen from carbon dioxide using graphdiyne-like membrane

Abstract In order to separate a mixture of hydrogen ( $$\text {H}_{2}$$ H 2 ) and carbon dioxide ( $$\text {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 ) gases, we have proposed a new approach employing the graphdiyne-like membrane (GDY-H) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation...
