A cheap and biocompatible metal–organic framework MIL-88B(Fe) (MIL = Material Institut Lavoisier) was synthesized and incorporated into Matrimid® 5218 to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. Separation performances of the MIL-88B(Fe)/Matrimid MMMs were tested for the single gas permeation of H2 and CH4 as well as the mixture gas separation of an equimolar binary H2–CH4 mixture. Due to the molecular sieving effect, the incorporation of MIL-88B(Fe) can enhance H2 permeability but hinder the transport of CH4 in MIL-88B(Fe)/Matrimid MMMs, thus resulting in enhanced separation selectivity of H2–CH4. At 298 K and ΔP = 3.0 bar, compared with those of a pure polymeric membrane, the H2 permeability and H2–CH4 mixture separation factor of MMMs with a MIL-88B(Fe) loading of 10% increased by 16% and 66%, respectively. In addition, the operation temperature has a significantly positive effect on the separation of a H2–CH4 mixture.

HKUST-1 nanocrystals (50–80 nm) were homogeneously dispersed in a polyetherimide (PEI) polymer matrix . The use of a capping agent (sodium formate) prevented the agglomeration of HKUST-1 nanocrystals in the casting solution. The highly dispersed HKUST-1 nanocrystals were found to strengthen the interactions with the PEI and minimize the interfacial holes by providing more accessible Cu unsaturated metal sites for the C O bonds on the five-membered rings of the PEI matrix. The PEI membrane loaded with 30 wt % HKUST-1 nanocrystals (30-N-HKUST-1/PEI) showed a high H 2 permeability (193.3 Barrer at 25 °C under 1.5 bar) and good ideal H 2 /CH 4 and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity factor of 101.7 and 20.6 in a single gas test, respectively. In the gas mixture test, it also showed a good separation performance, i.e., a H 2 /CH 4 and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity factor of 82.4 and 16.5 was measured, respectively. The 30-N-HKUST/PEI membrane was tested in a gas mixture at different temperatures (25–100 °C), different pressures (0–3 bar) and various time (5–72 h) to study the performance in more realistic conditions thus to be further considered in the separation of syngas.

Zeolite membranes with unique physical and chemical properties are emerging as attractive candidates for membrane separation. However, defects in the zeolite layer seriously affect their molecular sieving performance. In this study, a novel strategy for preparing compact zeolite membranes on rough supports with the assistance of a reticulated hydrotalcite layer was developed. The reticulated hydrotalcite layer was grown on the inner surface of a 170 mm length ceramic tube by an in situ hydrothermal method, and a NaA zeolite membrane was prepared on this reticulated layer by the microwave-heating method. The hydrotalcite interlayer could not only improve the smoothness and regularity of the surface of the support but also fix the Si/Al active ingredients using its reticulate structure, finally effectively improving the quality and stability of the zeolite layer. The optimal molar ratio of the synthesis solution for the synthesis of the zeolite membrane was 3Na2O : 2SiO2 : Al2O3 : 200H2O. The permeance flux of H2 through the zeolite membrane synthesized under the optimal conditions was high as 0.47 × 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1, and its permselectivity for H2 over N2 was 4.7, which was higher than the corresponding Knudsen diffusion coefficient. This study provides a new idea for the preparation of defect-free membranes on rough supports.

Preferred orientation has proven to exert a significant impact on the gas separation performance of metal–organic framework membranes. Nevertheless, realizing three-dimensional orientation control remains a challenging issue. In this study, well-intergrown NH2-UiO-66 membranes with both (111) out-of-plane and regional in-plane orientations were prepared by combining oriented deposition of seeds and solvothermal epitaxial growth. Dynamic air–liquid interface-assisted self-assembly method was employed to organize uniform octahedral-shaped NH2-UiO-66 seeds into closely packed monolayers with (111) out-of-plane and regional in-plane orientations, whereas the use of ZrS2 as the zirconium precursor during the solvothermal epitaxial growth was found indispensible for sealing the intercrystalline gaps while preserving the preferred orientation inherited from seed layers. In addition, compared with solvothermal heating, employing microwave heating led to poor intergrowth between neighboring NH2-UiO-66 crystals because of a lower dielectric loss factor of the reaction medium. Gas permeation results indicated that the prepared NH2-UiO-66 membranes exhibited H2/CO2 selectivity up to 5.5 times higher than their counterparts with random and/or mere out-of-plane orientations as well as H2 permeability 14.5 times higher than NH2-MIL-125(Ti) membranes with mere out-of-plane orientation under similar operating conditions.

Research on gas separation membrane has targeted upon maximizing the selectivity and permeance. The development of 2D materials ( e.g. , MXene) gives a novel avenue to surpass the “trade-off” among the membrane selectivity and permeability. However, randomly stacked nanosheets and the regulation of interlayer spacing for MXene nanosheets hinder the development of MXene membrane. To this end, we designed a Pd-intercalated lamellar MXene membrane to modify the surface chemical properties (H-spillover effect) of MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) and to expand the interlayer spacing (from 2.29 to 3.26 Å) due to the strong interaction between Pd 2+ and MXene nanosheets with negative charge. Here, we performed a single-step etching approach to prepare 2D Pd-MXene membrane and demonstrated its excellent H 2 permeability of 2.66 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 ·Pa −1 and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity of 242 at 25 °C, which greatly exceeds the current benchmark membranes. We also developed single gas transport mathematical mechanism models to interpret and support the experimental results. The combined experimental and modeling results show that interlayer spacing and H-spillover effect of Pd-MXene membrane benefit H 2 /CO 2 separation.

An original synthesis strategy for tubular zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes was developed by the deposition of a novel porous amorphous hybrid material prepared by 3-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane (IPTMS) and ZIF-8 crystals onto a coarse macroporous α-Al2O3 tubular support. This porous amorphous hybrid material (ZIF-8-IPTMS) not only strongly adhered to the support but also repaired the defects to make the support surface smooth due to the abundant hydroxyl groups and the appropriate particle size. Using this synthesis strategy, we successfully prepared a high-quality ZIF-8 membrane on an inorganic α-Al2O3 tubular support via the sufficient heterogeneous nucleation sites provided by the amino groups of ZIF-8-IPTMS. This ZIF-8 membrane with an ultrathin thickness of approximately 0.9 μm was prepared, and its ideal H2/CO2 selectivity increased as the temperature increased. The membrane exhibited a competitive selectivity of 13.8 with a remarkably high H2 permeance of 1.46 × 10–5 mol·m–2·s–1·Pa–1 at 90 °C and 0.1 MPa. H2/CO2 binary gas permeation measurements indicated a separation factor of 9.2, and the H2 permeance was maintained at 0.83 × 10–5 mol·m–2·s–1·Pa–1 at 90 °C and 0.1 MPa. This synthesis strategy was also suitable to fabricate ZIF-67 membranes. The ZIF-67 membrane with a thickness of approximately 1.2 μm exhibited a H2/CO2 ideal selectivity of 5.3 and maintained a high H2 permeance of 1.06 × 10–5 mol·m–2·s–1·Pa–1 at 35 °C and 0.1 MPa.

Three powders of Ba 0.95 Zr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3-δ (BZCY095), BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3-δ (BZCY), Ba 1.05 Zr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3-δ (BZCY105) with different Ba contents were synthesized using solid state reaction method. The effects of Ba non-stoichiometry on structure defect , sinterability and hydrogen permeability were investigated in details. The results of XRD and SEM revealed that the excess of BaO (BZCY105) was beneficial to the formation of single phase and membrane sinterability, while the deficiency of BaO (BZCY095) was counterproductive because of the vaporization of BaO at high temperature. Moreover, according to XPS , EPR, FT-IR, Raman and UV–Vis analysis, BZCY105 contained more oxygen vacancies than BZCY095 and BZCY. Additionally, the hydrogen permeation flux through BZCY105 membrane was the highest one because excess BaO favors protonic and grain boundary conductivities. Finally, the mechanism of Ba non-stoichiometry in Ba 1-x Zr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3-δ was proposed. For BZCY105, the excess BaO might be substituted into Ce site to form more oxygen vacancies. As for BZCY095, the dopant of Y might tend to be substituted into Ba site, decreasing the concentration of oxygen vacancy.

Due to the poor heterogeneous nucleation properties of MOFs crystal on ceramic substrates resulting from the absence of interaction of MOFs with support substrate surface, it is usually difficult to prepare well-intergrown MOF membranes on substrate by simple in situ growth. In this work, a novel synthesis strategy was used to prepare defect-free ZIF-8 membranes on α-Al 2 O 3 supports by depositing gold particles modified with 2-mercaptoimidazole which creates pseudo-surfaces to bridge the metal centers with support. The end groups of the 2-mercaptoimidazole guides the heterogeneous nuclei to the support surface as homologous-like ligands. Furthermore, investigation of the metal sources revealed that the ZIF-8 membranes prepared with Zn(OAc) 2 as the zinc source possessed more continuous and well-intergrown ZIF-8 membranes with a thickness of about 1 μm compared to other zinc sources. The results of gas separation performance show that the optimized ZIF-8 membranes possess high hydrogen permeance and thermal stability. The gas separation selectivity for binary H 2 /CH 4 mixture reached 20.8 at 150 °C and 1 bar, with a high H 2 permeance of about 6.15 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 , which is promising for hydrogen separation and purification. Moreover, free-organic solvents and room temperature growth by our strategy dramatically reduces the difficulty of preparation and environmental destruction, thus offering a new avenue to prepare MOFs membrane with good separation performance.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials bring a great opportunity to fabricate molecular sieving membranes that can potentially break the permeability-selectivity trade-off. Although 2D laminar membranes with interlayer nanochannels as molecular sieving channel were widely studied, for most of reported 2D laminar membranes, it is of a great challenge to fabricate highly ordered interlayer nanochannels for mass transport. Herein, we report a novel kind of black phosphorene membrane which is made from the stacking of highly ordered 2D black phosphorene nanoflakes. The as prepared black phosphorene membrane shows H 2 permeance > 1000 GPU and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity > 100 for H 2 /CO 2 mixed gas, demonstrating an extremely high gas separation performance. The DFT calculation results demonstrate that the interlayer galleries in the black phosphorene membrane allow the H 2 passing through easily while block the other gases with bigger kinetic diameters, matching well with the experimental findings. The present results indicate that the interlayer galleries in the black phosphorene membrane can be applied as molecular sieving channels for gas separation.

In this work, a continuous dense zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF) composite membranes for enhanced gas separation were successfully prepared on diethylenetriamine (DETA) and tannic acid (TA) cross-linked polymeric hollow fiber substrates via the in-situ solvothermal method for the first time. With strong reactivity and small molecular volume, DETA connected various TA molecules and anchored TA molecules on the organic hollow fiber substrate to form a relatively tight spatial network. The modified polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) support contained abundant phenolic hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amine groups, providing a large number of active sites for heterogeneous nucleation and promoting the forming of continuous and non-defect MOF film. The synergistic effect between TA and DETA not only enhanced the stiffness and durability of the MOF composite membrane, but also improved the performance of membrane on gas separation. The morphology of the amine/TA modified to support and the MOFs composite membrane was analyzed by SEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, etc. The fabricated TA-DETA-PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membrane with a continuously dense layer and unique structural stability displayed excellent H 2 permeance of 1.01 × 10 -7 mol·m −2 s −1 Pa −1 and competitive H 2 /N 2 and H 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 24.0 and 24.4, respectively.

The extremely thin, porous and crystalline nature endow metal-organic framework nanosheets (MOFNs) to be emerging materials for membrane assembly. However, their reliable manufacturing, especially for the continuous growth in controllable direction, remains a great challenge. Herein, we firstly orient a MOFN (NTU-83, a layered framework) either into vertical or horizontal alignments via one-step bottom-up synthesis on the surface-functionalized α-Al 2 O 3 supports, on which the amide groups promote vertical assembly via the formed COOH⋯NH 2 hydrogen bond , while exposed oxygen sites facilitate horizontal growth by Cu⋯O/OH interaction. The H 2 permeance of the vertical aligned MOFN membrane (termed VAM) is 2100 ± 7 GPU at 100 °C, and it sharply increases to 8000 ± 40 GPU in horizontal aligned membrane (termed HAM), together with high-steady operation and nearly same H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (varied in range of 6–7). This anti-trade-off performance should be attributed to the relatively short (500 nm) diffusion pathway and nanosized pore (5.4 × 8.2 Å 2 ) of the horizontal-stacked layers when compare with the slightly bent and long (12 μm) interlayer channel (5.1 Å) that connected by eutectic junction points in VAM. Additionally, the universality of this surface functionalization for directional MOF growth was confirmed by producing another set of horizontal and vertical MOFN membranes with 3D structure. Given the rich building blocks of MOFs and various planting groups on the supports, the presented surface functionalization strategy can be extended to the directional assembly of other MOFNs on different supports into highly-efficient membranes.

A zeolitic imidazolate hybrid membrane (Co-IM-mIM) containing two imidazolate ligands deposited on a macroporous α-alumina support was prepared by pre-depositing and secondary growth technique. XRD, TGA and SEM characterizations demonstrate that a stable and thin, but dense and pure-phase Co-IM-mIM membrane can be obtained on the macroporous-alumina discs in Teflon-lined autoclave at 120 °C after pre-depositing by dip-coating at room temperature. No visible cracks, pinholes or other defects were observed on the membrane layer. The gas separation studies of Co-IM-mIM membrane were carried out at 25 °C and 1×10 5 Pa, showing ideal selectivity of 6.95, 5.25, 3.40 for H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /N 2 and H 2 /CH 4 , respectively, and a permeance of 17.37× 10 −6 mol/(m 2 ·s·Pa) for H 2 . The influence of temperature and trans-membrane pressure on hydrogen separation and permeation was also carried out. The gas permeation and selectivity demonstrate that this membrane may have potential applications for efficient H 2 separation.
