Although single layer transverse flow carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane (TFCM) has been shown to be ultrapermeable with high salt rejection, its physical fabrication with sub-nanometre slits remains a significant challenge to its development. This work presents the multilayer TFCM, which resembles vert...
