This study examined the feasibility and performance of a nanochannel-based biomimetic membrane (NBM) for brackish reverse osmosis (RO) desalination. Two types of peptide-attached synthetic nanochannels, (pR)-pillar[5]arenes (pRPH) and (pS)-pillar[5]arenes (pSPH), were incorporated into liposomes. pS...
