ABSTRACT
Nanouidics is an emerging area that has attracted enormous attention in recent years. Under nanoconnement, uids usually exhibit unconventional and sometimes counter-intuitive behaviors. This has led to a variety of promising applications of nanouidics in energy conversion and storage, phase separation, and mass transport, among others. Recent advances in synthesis and fabrication techniques have made graphene monolayer, nanoribbon, nanoporous graphene, and their derivatives and hybrids a promising material platform for constructing highly customizable nanouidic systems of superior properties. This chapter reviews several fundamental aspects of nanouidics in graphene-based material systems. Molecular structures, transport behaviors, dynamical morphologies, evaporation physics, and purication processes of nanouids conned in such novel nanouidic systems will be systematically introduced and discussed. This short review is expected to promote the understanding of nanouidics, and to provide valuable design guidelines for building graphenebased nanouidic systems.
