Nature.com Published: 15 February 2024 Abstract Aquaporin (AQP) biomimetic membranes are a coming-of-age technology for water purification. Although several studies have reported aquaporin biomimetic membrane fabrication to date, these membranes show low water flux mainly due to the low porosity and inherently dense structure of the polymeric substrate materials. Herein, we report a ceramic-based aquaporin…
