Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted using the CHARMM31 potential and TIP3P explicit solvent to model the transport of water molecules through porous graphene monolayers. The graphene membranes where constructed with pore diameters of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5nm. Edges of the pore were functionalized with hydrogen to fill unoccupied valences left by the pore creation. Empirical nano- filtration studies conducted by Hern et. al. indicate defect sealed graphene membranes with a pore diameter.
