Graphical Filling the voids : Etched ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-E) crystals permeated by open through pores of size about 100 nm have been introduced into a polyethersulfone membrane matrix. The resulting material shows enhanced CO 2 /N 2 separation performance (see scheme). Zeolite ZIF-8 has been etched with acid to form microporous ZIF-8-E crystals. These were then introduced into a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane matrix to enhance its CO 2 /N 2 separation performance. Open through pores of size about 100 nm formed in the ZIF-8 crystals allow the ingrowth of polyethersulfone chains, ensuring a reduction in the number of nonselective voids, thereby achieving better interaction between ZIF-8-E and PES. As a result, the CO 2 /N 2 separation performance of the ZIF-8-E/PES membrane increased significantly, showing a CO 2 permeability of 15.7 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 ideal selectivity of 6.5.

Mixing a polymer matrix and nanofiller to prepare a mixed matrix membrane (MMM) is an effective method for enhancing gas separation performance. In this work, a unique UiO-66-decorated halloysite nanotubes composite material (UiO-66@HNT) was successfully synthesized via a solvothermal method and dispersed into the Pebax-1657 matrix to prepare MMMs for CO2/N2separation. A remarkable characteristic of this MMM was that the HNT lumen provided the highway for CO2diffusion due to the unique affinity of UiO-66 for CO2. Simultaneously, the close connection of the UiO-66 layer on the external surface of HNTs created relatively continuous pathways for gas permeation. A suite of microscopy, diffraction, and thermal techniques was used to characterize the morphology and structure of UiO-66@HNT and the membranes. As expected, the embedding UiO-66@HNT composite materials significantly improved the separation performances of the membranes. Impressively, the as-obtained membrane acquired a high CO2permeability of 119.08 Barrer and CO2/N2selectivity of 76.26. Additionally, the presence of UiO-66@HNT conferred good long-term stability and excellent interfacial compatibility on the MMMs. The results demonstrated that the composite filler with fast transport pathways designed in this study was an effective strategy to enhance gas separation performance of MMMs, verifying its application potential in the gas purification industry.Keywords:composite material;UiO-66;HNT;mixed matrix membrane;CO2/N2separation

Fillers play a critical role in the performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Microporous metal azolate frameworks (MAFs) are a subclass material of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Due to the uncoordinated nitrogen of the organic ligands, MAF-7 (SOD-[Zn(mtz)2], Hmtz = 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole, window: d = 0.34 nm) shows excellent CO2adsorption performance. In this work, Pebax 1657/MAF-7 MMMs were prepared by a sample solution casting method with MAF-7 particles as fillers for the first time. By means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), infrared radiation (IR), and thermogravimetry (TG), the compositional and structural properties of the mixed matrix membrane with different filler content were analyzed. The results show that the compatibility of MAF-7 and Pebax is good with a filler content of 5 wt.%. The pure gas testing showed that mixed matrix membrane has a high ideal CO2/N2selectivity of 124.84 together with a better CO2permeability of 76.15 Barrer with the optimized filler content of 5 wt.%. The obtained membrane showed 323.04% enhancement in selectivity of CO2/N2and 27.74% increase in the permeability of CO2compared to the pristine membrane at 25 °C and 3 bar. The excellent separation performance may be due to the ligands that can afford a Lewis base active site for CO2binding with the uniform dispersion of MAF-7 particles in Pebax and the favorable interface compatibility. The obtained membrane overcomes the Robeson’s upper bound in 2008 for CO2/N2separation. This work provides a new strategy by utilizing MAFs as fillers with triazole ligand to enhance the gas separation performance of mixed matrix membranes.

Incorporating metal-organic frameworks into cellulose matrix to prepare composite membranes is promising in gas-separation applications. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 (Zr-based MOF) nanoparticles are wrapped into the densely packed cellulose nanofibrils (CNF-COOH) via a facile vacuum filtration process. The existence of acid-base interactions and electrostatic forces between UiO-66-NH 2 and CNF-COOH renders ideal interfacial morphology. Results show that UiO-66-NH 2 is cross-linked by -COOH groups and well-dispersed in the CNF matrix. The porous UiO-66-NH 2 strengthens the diffusion process of CO 2 molecules, thus elevating the permeation flux and separation factor simultaneously. The optimum separation performance is achieved over CM-1 membrane with a CO 2 permeability of 139 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity ratio of 46.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) generally have some fatal defects, such as poor compatibility between the two phases leading to non-selective pores. In this work, PIM-1 was chosen as the polymer matrix, and UiO-66 modified with amidoxime (UiO-66-AO) was used as the filler to prepare the MMMs. In the MMMs, the amino and hydroxyl groups on UO-66-AO form a rich hydrogen bond network with the N and O atoms in the polymer PIM-1 chain to improve the compatibility between the polymer matrix and the filler. In addition, the selective adsorption of CO2by the amidoxime group can promote the transport of CO2in the membrane, which enhances the gas selectivity. The CO2permeability and CO2/N2selectivity of UiO-66-AO@PIM-1 MMMs are increased by 35.2% and 45.2% compared to pure PIM-1 membranes, reaching 7535.5 Barrer and 26.9, surpassing the Robeson Upper Bound (2008) and close to the 2019 Upper Bound. After 38 days of the aging experiment, the CO2permeability is approximately 74% of the original. The results show that the addition of UiO-66-AO has an obvious effect on improving the aging properties of the membrane. The UiO-66-AO@PIM-1 MMMs have a bright prospect for CO2separation in the future.Keywords:amidoxime;UiO-66-AO;mixed matrix membrane;PIM-1;CO2/N2separation

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs), developed through the combination of solid fillers with polymer matrices, represent an effective approach addressing the persistent challenge of balancing permeability and selectivity in polymer membrane. Diethylenetriamine-functionalized porous material of PP-DETA, which is synthesized from porous organic polymer of PP via one-step diethylenetriamine grafting, is an ideal material for MMMs production. However, designing and optimizing PP-DETA for high-performance CO 2 separation membranes remains a challenge. Herein, we develop an improved PP-DETA material, designated as PP-DETA-cPIM-1, by covalently attaching a carboxylated polymer of intrinsic microporosity (cPIM-1) network layer onto the PP-DETA surface. Membranes prepared from this PP-DETA-cPIM-1 filler and PIM-1 matrix demonstrate enhanced interfacial adhesion and stronger mechanical properties in comparison to the counterparts with the same loading of PP-DETA. The incorporation of PP-DETA-cPIM-1 into MMMs establishes an enhanced filler/polymer interface that facilitates the selective transport of CO 2 through the filler, while simultaneously improving membrane stability and suppressing physical aging. Specifically, with 5 wt% loading of PP-DETA-cPIM-1 filler, the MMM is able to enhance the CO 2 /N 2 selectivity and CO 2 permeability by 52.3 % and 25.3 %, respectively, exceeding the upper bound established in 2008. Furthermore, PP-DETA-cPIM-1/PIM-1 MMMs display superior anti-aging ability for 180 days of aging.

Novel mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with superior CO 2 /N 2 separation properties are of great importance for post-combustion CO 2 capture from flue gas . Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as one of the most attractive porous fillers for MMMs fabrication, are considered to provide a solid molecular sieving mechanism for enhancing CO 2 /N 2 selectivity. However, it causes the reduction in gas permeability and limits its further industrialization. Herein, we proposed a new strategy for filler functionalization by doping silver ions (Ag + ) into UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles through the double-solvent method and used for the preparation of advanced MMMs. The double-solvent method is benefits for the enrichment of Ag + in the hydrophilic pores of UiO-66-NH 2 . As a result, the prepared novel MMMs called Ag + @UiO@PIM-1 with the polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) as polymer matrix , show outstanding CO 2 permeability. According to the mixed gases (CO 2 /N 2 = 10:90) permeation experiments under 25 °C and 2 bar, the membrane with 30%Ag + @10%UiO loading achieves more than 65% increase in CO 2 /N 2 selectivity (∼30) and 120% in CO 2 permeability (>15,000 Barrer) compared to the pristine PIM-1 membrane. By optimizing the Ag + doping amount and Ag + @UiO loading content, the separation performance exceeds the 2019 CO 2 /N 2 upper bound. To figure out the separation mechanism, the pore texture properties and CO 2 affinity of the functional filler (Ag + @UiO) together with the membrane structure were characterized by XPS , PXRD , SEM, gas sorption , etc. The synergistic mechanisms by combing CO 2 facilitated transport and molecular sieving from pore regulation were identified to enable advanced CO 2 /N 2 membrane separation .

In this work, imidazolate framework ZIF-8 nanoparticles were synthesized and incorporated into a poly(vinylamine) (PVAm) coating solution. The chemical structure of a PVAm/ZIF-8 film was characterized by X-ray diffraction and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) were developed by coating the PVAm/ZIF-8 mixed dispersion on a polysulfone (PSf) support membrane. Surface and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy images of the MMMs were employed to observe the dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. The CO2 permeance and CO2/N2 selectivity of the MMMs were evaluated by using a CO2/N2 mixture gas. Optimal preparation parameters for the MMMs were achieved by varying the incorporated ZIF-8 contents in the coating solution and the wet coating thickness. The effect of incorporated ZIF-8 on improving the gas permselectivity was revealed, and the mechanism of CO2-facilitated transport in the PVAm/ZIF-8/PSf membrane was analyzed. The CO2/N2 separation performance of PVAm/ZIF-8/PSf membranes with different wet coating thicknesses was also evaluated at 22–60 °C to analyze the changes of the gas permselectivity with increasing temperature.

Rational chemical modification engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an effective means to improve their CO 2 capture efficiency. In this study, we prepare UiO-66 MOF impregnated with different types of aliphatic amines using solvothermal and impregnation techniques, respectively, and investigated their performances in CO 2 adsorption and CO 2 /N 2 separation using the isothermal adsorption method. Aliphatic amines successfully chemically modifies UiO-66, and their molecules effectively occupied the pores of the UiO-66 framework, which has been confirmed by material characterization, experiments, and DFT-FMO calculations. There are significant improvements in the ability to capture CO 2 when aliphatic amines were added to UiO-66 compared to pure UiO-66 (1.39 mmol/g up to 2.11 mmol/g-2.53 mmol/g), attributed to the different types and numbers of amines, and there were also differences in the Zr metal clusters and BDC ligands. Meanwhile, The material has better CO 2 /N 2 adsorption IAST selectivity(98) because its surface area is changed and N 2 does not interact specifically with the adsorbent. Furthermore, the CO 2 adsorption capacity remains constant across multiple adsorption cycles, highlighting the adsorbent's stability and reliability during repetitive CO 2 capture. This study provides new ideas and perspectives for improving the CO 2 capture efficiency of UiO-66.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes with proper pore size distribution and functional groups are generally more suitable for separation. Most MOFs are characterized by a hierarchical pore structure, which possesses large cavities surrounded by small windows. Fabrication of MOF membranes only retaining microporous fragment structure is a workable method to narrow pore size distribution. In this study, well-grown NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) fragment membranes were fabricated for CO 2 separation by adjusting acetic acid – ligand – metal ratio to balance the nucleation and growth. NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) fragment has a similar chemical structure to NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) as expected, but only small pores with size around 0.56 nm is retained. The NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) fragment membranes exhibited CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of about 37 with CO 2 permeance up to 6104 GPU.

Ether oxygen-rich polymeric membranes emerge as promising membranes in CO 2 separation due to the high affinity between CO 2 molecules and ethylene oxide segments. However, there is a massive challenge in developing asymmetric membranes with high CO 2 permeation performance and CO 2 /light gas separation performance. This work revealed composite membranes with ether oxygen-rich polyimide separation layers were developed by interfacial polymerization between 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbonyl tetrachloride and commercial diamines named o,o'-bis(2-aminopropyl) polypropylene glycol-block-polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene glycol followed by thermal imidization. The influences of the polymerization time and monomer concentrations on the gas transport and separation properties of the composite membranes were studied based on single-gas permeation. The optimum membrane possessed a superior high ideal CO 2 /N 2 separation factor of 429 accompanied with a moderate permeance of 150 GPU for CO 2 at 25 o C and 0.2 MPa. The performance stability was studied by operating the membrane at various pressures and temperatures. The result showed the composite membrane possessed excellent plasticization resistivity at high pressures. The separation property of composite membranes for CO 2 /N 2 binary mixture was also evaluated. The influences of the operation parameters, including stage-cut and pressure ratio on the product purity and recovery were investigated. The results showed great practical application potential in efficient separation of flue gas .

The MOF crystal-glass composites (CGC) membrane, comprising a MOF crystal and MOF glass matrix, represents a novel self-supported membrane that has been effectively applied in gas separation. Nevertheless, the typical MOF glass matrix requires a higher operating temperature (>400 °C), which constrains its combination with a multitude of MOF crystals characterized by high porosity and low decomposition. In this work, Zn-P-dmbIm (coordination polymer) was chosen as the glass matrix, and MIL-101 crystal with high porosity were integrated at an operating temperature of 190 °C. Furthermore, the intrinsic low porosity of a g Zn-P-dmbIm can be enhanced by the incorporation of higher porosity MIL-101, which possessed a high specific surface area (from ∼1.7 m 2 /g to 401 m 2 /g) and porosity (from ∼0.0014 cm³/g/nm to 0.5605 cm³/g/nm) of the CGC. The intimate combination of MIL-101 and a g Zn-P-dmbIm by in - situ melting to reduce the interfacial defects, which also provides a robust foundation for effective CO 2 /N 2 separation. In CO₂/N₂ (50/50, v/v) mixed gas conditions, the MIL-101/ a g Zn-P-dmbIm membrane demonstrated a impressively high CO₂ permeability of 18670 barrer and CO₂/N₂ selectivity of 61, exceeding the CO₂/N₂ upper bound. The variable pressure (1-12 bar) and long-term stability (120 h) of the CGC membrane exhibited enhancing separation stability. Hence, the self-supported MIL-101/ a g Zn-P-dmbIm membrane demonstrated effective CO₂/N₂ separation performance, which had the potential to significantly extend the scope of applications for MOF crystal-glass matrices.
