Engineering metal-covalent organic framework-based hybrid oxygenation membranes for facilitated blood-gas exchange
Oxygenation membranes operate as indirectly contacting barriers between blood and gas in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), improving oxygenation and removing carbon dioxide from blood. However, the low gas exchange efficiency of the current poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) artificial lung membrane results in a high prime volume. Facilitated transport membrane is a fascinating strategy to construct high-performance membranes for blood-gas exchange. This study put forward hybrid strategy by using metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) to construct facilitated transport membrane of PMP flat membranes and hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) to achieve facilitated blood-gas exchange. Cu-TAPB-COF nanosheets (CuCON) with framework structure and abundant active metal sites were synthetized and introduced into PMP to construct hybrid oxygenation membranes, reducing the resistance of gas exchange channels and ensuring the high affinity toward CO 2 and O 2 . Cu + and benzene rings existed in aromatic skeleton as well as the tunable structure, that could ensure the stability of MCOF and the uniform distribution of facilitated transport sites. The prepared PMP-CuCON-1 HFMs exhibited O 2 and CO 2 exchange rate of ∼467.5 ml min −1 m −2 and ∼309.1 ml min −1 m −2 in blood gas exchange process, which was 143.1% and 261.3% higher than the commercial PMP HFM, respectively. Asymmetric structure ensured resistance to plasma leakage for more than two weeks, and Cu + kept stable in CuCON and hybrid membranes. The hybrid membrane exhibited superior blood-gas exchange performance and good hemocompatibility, possessing great potential for application.
