In this work, Amine-functionalized CNF/UiO-66 (CNF–NH 2 /UiO-66) composite membranes were fabricated by incorporating UiO-66 nanoparticles in the CNF–NH 2 matrix. The CO 2 -facilitated transfer channels can be constructed in the CNF–NH 2 /UiO-66 composite membrane. As a natural polymer material, CNF–NH 2 would absorb water and form a gel-like structure under humidification. The adsorbed water can convert CO 2 into bicarbonate ions (HCO 3 − ) through the catalysis of amino groups on CNF–NH 2 . Moreover, in CNF–NH 2 /UiO-66 composite membranes, HCO 3 − could quickly migrate to the permeate side promoted by the porous UiO-66, facilitating CO 2 transport. The optimum membrane gave a CO 2 permeability of 257.0 Barrer with a CO 2 /CH 4 ideal selectivity of 71.3.

The development of highly effective and durable CO 2 separation membrane is still a challenge for the carbon capture and storage. Herein, a novel BN nanosheets supported magnetic ionic liquid membrane (BN-SMILM) is constructed by nanoconfining magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) [P 6,6,6,14 ][FeCl 4 ] to the two-dimentional (2D) nanochannels of laminated BN membrane. The 2D nanochannels provide a well support and restricted space for the MIL. The nanoconfinement effect makes the magnetic [FeCl 4 ] - anions align along the center of 2D BN nanochannels, leading to selectively accelerate the CO 2 transport. The nanoconfinement effect and CO 2 separation mechanism are further explicated by the molecular dynamic simulations. As a result, compared with the polymer supported MIL membrane, the as-prepared BN-SMILM exhibits better CO 2 separation performance, with CO 2 permeability of about 227 Barrer and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 90 that is above the 2008 Robeson upper-bound. The BN-SMILM also presents excellent long-term stability after 7 days operation, revealing the promising applications in CO 2 separation. This work provides a new strategy to prepare high-performance supported liquid membrane materials towards practical environmental and energy application.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) capable of breaking the permeability-selectivity trade-off suffer from the inefficient and disconnected bulky transport channels as well as inferior interfacial compatibility between nanomaterials and polymers. Herein, we propose an original photothermal-triggered in-situ gelation approach to elaborate an original class of MMMs, termed nanofiber-interwoven gel membranes (NIGMs) that feature tunable 3D-interconnected ultrafast transport channels and highly-selective CO 2 -philic gel for boosting CO 2 separation performance. The key design of NIGMs lies in leveraging dual functions of CNT-interwoven skeleton: (1) serving as a photothermal confined reactor that rapidly triggers in-situ gelation of highly-selective CO 2 -philic gel without phase separation-induced interfacial defects to construct defect-free and thickness-controllable NIGMs; (2) functioning as a 3D-interconnected continuous skeleton for providing ultrafast CO 2 transport channels. By orchestrating the distribution and configuration of interwoven nanofibers, the NIGMs possess a boosted CO 2 permeance of 211.0 GPU increased by 1558% over polymeric gel counterparts and an ultrahigh CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of up to 151 and 47 respectively. Our work offers a paradigm shift in developing advanced MMMs beyond gas separation.

Membrane-based gas separation exhibits many advantages over other conventional techniques; however, the construction of membranes with simultaneous high selectivity and permeability remains a major challenge. Herein, (LDH/FAS) n -PDMS hybrid membranes, containing two-dimensional sub-nanometre channels were fabricated via self-assembly of unilamellar layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets and formamidine sulfinic acid (FAS), followed by spray-coating with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) layer. A CO 2 transmission rate for (LDH/FAS) 25 -PDMS of 7748 GPU together with CO 2 selectivity factors (SF) for SF(CO 2 /H 2 ), SF(CO 2 /N 2 ) and SF(CO 2 /CH 4 ) mixtures as high as 43, 86 and 62 respectively are observed. The CO 2 permselectivity outperforms most reported systems and is higher than the Robeson or Freeman upper bound limits. These (LDH/FAS) n -PDMS membranes are both thermally and mechanically robust maintaining their highly selective CO 2 separation performance during long-term operational testing. We believe this highly-efficient CO 2 separation performance is based on the synergy of enhanced solubility, diffusivity and chemical affinity for CO 2 in the sub-nanometre channels.
