AB  - Graphene oxide (GO) sheets can be readily surface-overlaid on hot-pressed 
      electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane to form a continuous and 
      crack-free layer; upon thermal reduction at 150  degrees C for 12 h, the resulting 
      reduced GO (rGO) layer can reject  approximately 90% MgSO(4) with high water flux (due to the 
      size exclusion mechanism), making the prepared PAN-rGO membranes promising 
      nanofiltration media for water purification. It is important to note that no 
      delamination of GO/rGO sheet layers has been observed throughout this study. We 
      highlight that a simple processing method (i.e., hot pressing) is critical for 
      the successful preparation of 2D materials (e.g., GO/rGO) based membranes/media. 
      It is envisioned that the reported study can benefit many groups working on 
      various membrane applications of 2D materials; in other words, the hot-pressed 
      electrospun nanofiber membranes could be generally utilized as an innovative type 
      of platform to support various 2D sheets for different separation applications 
      such as highly efficient and cost-effective removal of dissolved components 
      (e.g., organic molecules) and even (hydrated) ions from water.
