Molecular insight into COF monolayers for urea sorption in artificial kidneys

Abstract Urea removal from an aqueous solution is considered a challenge in the biological process. The state of complete kidney destruction is known as an end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Kidney transplant and hemodialysis are the most common methods for confronting ESRD. More recently, wearable art...
