Optimization of a MOF Blended with Modified Polyimide Membrane for High-Performance Gas Separation.

ABSTRACT: The preparation, characterization and gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were obtained from polyimide capped with ionic liquid and blended with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized MOF was amine functionalized to produce UiO-66-NH₂, and its amino group has a higher affinity for CO₂. Mixed matrix membranes exhibited good membrane forming ability, heat resistance and mechanical properties. The polyimide membrane exclusively capped by ionic liquid exhibited good permselectivity of 74.1 for CO₂/CH₄, which was 6.2 times that of the pure polyimide membrane. It is worth noting that MMM blended with UiO-66-NH₂ demonstrated the highest ideal selectivity for CO₂/CH₄ (95.1) with a CO₂ permeability of 7.61 Barrer, which is close to the 2008 Robeson upper bound. The addition of UiO-66-NH₂ and ionic liquid enhanced the permselectivity of MMMs, which may be one of the promising technologies for high performance CO₂/CH₄ gas separation.

"All Polyimide" Mixed Matrix Membranes for High Performance Gas Separation.

Project description:To improve the interfacial compatibility of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation, microporous polyimide particle (AP) was designed, synthesized, and introduced into intrinsic microporous polyimide matrix (6FDA-Durene) to form "all polyimide" MMMs. The AP fillers showed the feature of thermal stability, similar density with polyimide matrix, high porosity, high fractional free volume, large microporous dimension, and interpenetrating network architecture. As expected, the excellent interfacial compatibility between 6FDA-Durene and AP without obvious agglomeration even at a high AP loading of 10 wt.% was observed. As a result, the CO2 permeability coefficient of MMM with AP loading as low as 5 wt.% reaches up to 1291.13 Barrer, which is 2.58 times that of the pristine 6FDA-Durene membrane without the significant sacrificing of ideal selectivity of CO2/CH4. The improvement of permeability properties is much better than that of the previously reported MMMs, where high filler content is required to achieve a high permeability increase but usually leads to significant agglomeration or phase separation of fillers. It is believed that the excellent interfacial compatibility between the PI fillers and the PI matrix induce the effective utilization of porosity and free volume of AP fillers during gas transport. Thus, a higher diffusion coefficient of MMMs has been observed than that of the pristine PI membrane. Furthermore, the rigid polyimide fillers also result in the excellent anti-plasticization ability for CO2. The MMMs with a 10 wt.% AP loading shows a CO2 plasticization pressure of 300 psi.

Synthesis and Performance of 6FDA-Based Polyimide-Ionenes and Composites with Ionic Liquids as Gas Separation Membranes.

Project description:Three new isomeric 6FDA-based polyimide-ionenes, with imidazolium moieties and varying regiochemistry (para-, meta-, and ortho- connectivity), and composites with three different ionic liquids (ILs) have been developed as gas separation membranes. The structural-property relationships and gas separation behaviors of the newly developed 6FDA polyimide-ionene + IL composites have been extensively studied. All the 6FDA-based polyimide-ionenes exhibited good compatibility with the ILs and produced homogeneous hybrid membranes with the high thermal stability of ~380 °C. Particularly, [6FDA I4A pXy][Tf2N] ionene + IL hybrids having [C4mim][Tf2N] and [Bnmim][Tf2N] ILs offered mechanically stable matrixes with high CO2 affinity. The permeability of CO2 was increased by factors of 2 and 3 for C4mim and Bnmim hybrids (2.15 to 6.32 barrers), respectively, compared to the neat [6FDA I4A pXy][Tf2N] without sacrificing their permselectivity for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 gas pairs.

The Phase Structural Evolution and Gas Separation Performances of Cellulose Acetate/Polyimide Composite Membrane from Polymer to Carbon Stage.

Project description:Blending and heat-treatment play significant roles in adjusting gas separation performances of membranes, especially for incorporating thermally labile polymers into carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs). In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) is introduced into polyimide (PI) as a sacrificial phase to adjust the structure and gas separation performance from polymer to carbon. A novel result is observed that the gas permeability is reduced, even when the immiscible CA phase decomposes and forms pores after heat treatment at 350 °C. After carbonization at 600 °C, the miscible CA has changed without contribution, while the role of the immiscible CA phase has changed from original hindrance to facilitation, the composite-based CMSM at a CA content of 10 wt.% shows highest performances, a H2 permeability of ~5300 Barrer (56% enhancement) with a similar H2/N2 permselectivity of 42. The structural analyses reveal that the chain interactions and phase separation behaviors between CA and PI play critical roles on membrane structures and gas diffusion, and the corresponding phase structural evolutions during heat treatment and carbonization determine gas separation properties.

Synthesis and Transport Properties of Novel MOF/PIM-1/MOF Sandwich Membranes for Gas Separation.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were supported on polymer membrane substrates for the fabrication of composite polymer membranes based on unmodified and modified polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1). Layers of two different MOFs, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and Copper benzene tricarboxylate ((HKUST-1), were grown onto neat PIM-1, amide surface-modified PIM-1 and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) -modified PIM-1. The surface-grown crystalline MOFs were characterized by a combination of several techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to investigate the film morphology on the neat and modified PIM-1 membranes. The pure gas permeabilities of He, H₂, O₂, N₂, CH₄, CO₂ were studied to understand the effect of the surface modification on the basic transport properties and evaluate the potential use of these membranes for industrially relevant gas separations. The pure gas transport was discussed in terms of permeability and selectivity, highlighting the effect of the MOF growth on the diffusion coefficients of the gas in the new composite polymer membranes. The results confirm that the growth of MOFs on polymer membranes can enhance the selectivity of the appropriately functionalized PIM-1, without a dramatic decrease of the permeability.

Synthesis, Transfer, and Gas Separation Characteristics of MOF-Templated Polymer Membranes.

Project description:This paper discusses the potential of polymer networks, templated by crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF), as novel selective layer material in thin film composite membranes. The ability to create mechanically stable membranes with an ultra-thin selective layer of advanced polymer materials is highly desirable in membrane technology. Here, we describe a novel polymeric membrane, which is synthesized via the conversion of a surface anchored metal-organic framework (SURMOF) into a surface anchored gel (SURGEL). The SURGEL membranes combine the high variability in the building blocks and the possibility to control the network topology and membrane thickness of the SURMOF synthesis with high mechanical and chemical stability of polymers. Next to the material design, the transfer of membranes to suitable supports is also usually a challenging task, due to the fragile nature of the ultra-thin films. To overcome this issue, we utilized a porous support on top of the membrane, which is mechanically stable enough to allow for the easy membrane transfer from the synthesis substrate to the final membrane support. To demonstrate the potential for gas separation of the synthesized SURGEL membranes, as well as the suitability of the transfer method, we determined the permeance for eight gases with different kinetic diameters.

ZIF-95 as a filler for enhanced gas separation performance of polysulfone membrane.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are found to be promising porous crystalline materials for application in gas separation. Considering that mixed matrix membranes usually increase the gas separation performance of a polymer by increasing selectivity, permeability, or both (i.e., perm-selectivity), the zeolitic imidazole framework-95 (ZIF-95) MOF was dispersed for the first time in polysulfone (PSF) polymer to form mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), namely, ZIF-95/PSF. The fabricated ZIF-95/PSF membranes were examined for the separation of various gases. The characterization of solvothermally synthesized ZIF-95 was carried out using different analyses such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), porosity measurements, etc. ZIF-95 was mixed with PSF at 8%, 16%, 24%, and 32% weight percent to form different loading MMMs. SEM analysis of membranes revealed good compatibility/adhesion between the MOF and polymer. The permeability of He, H2, O2, CO2, N2, and CH4 were measured for the pure and composite membranes. The ideal selectivity of different gas pairs were calculated and compared with reported mixed matrix membranes. The maximum increases in permeabilities were observed in 32% loaded membrane; nevertheless, these performance/permeability increases were at the expense of a slight decrease of selectivity. In the optimally loaded membrane (i.e., 24 wt% loaded membrane), the permeability of H2, O2, and CO2 increased by 80.2%, 78.0%, and 67.2%, respectively, as compared to the pure membrane. Moreover, the selectivity of H2/CH4, O2/N2, and H2/CO2 gas pairs also increased by 16%, 15%, and 8% in the 24% loaded membrane, respectively.

Effects of ZnO Nanoparticle on the Gas Separation Performance of Polyurethane Mixed Matrix Membrane.

Project description:Polyurethane (PU)-ZnO mixed matrix membranes (MMM) were fabricated and characterized for gas separation. A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), a scanning electron microscope (SEM) test and an atomic-force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the physical properties and thermal stability of the membranes were improved through filler loading. Hydrogen Bonding Index, obtained from the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), demonstrate that the degree of phase separation in PU-ZnO 0.5 wt % MMM was more than the neat PU, while in PU-ZnO 1.0 wt % MMM, the phase mixing had increased. Compared to the neat membrane, the CO₂ permeability of the MMMs increased by 31% for PU-ZnO 0.5 wt % MMM and decreased by 34% for 1.0 wt % ZnO MMM. The CO₂/CH₄ and CO₂/N₂ selectivities of PU-ZnO 0.5 wt % were 18.75 and 64.75, respectively.

Development of CO2-Selective Polyimide-Based Gas Separation Membranes Using Crown Ether and Polydimethylsiloxane.

Project description:A series of CO2-selective polyimides (CE-PDMS-PI-x) was synthesized by copolymerizing crown ether diamine (trans-diamino-DB18C6) and PDMS-diamine with 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) di-phthalic anhydride (6FDA) through the polycondensation reaction. The structural characteristics of the copolymers and corresponding membranes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The effect of PDMS loading on the CE-PDMS-PI-x copolymers was further analyzed and a very good structure-property relationship was found. A well-distributed soft PDMS unit played a key role in the membrane's morphology, in which improved CO2-separation performance was observed at a low PDMS content (5 wt %). In contrast, the fine-grained phase separation adversely affected the separation behavior at a certain level of PDMS loading, and the PDMS was found to provide a flexible gas-diffusion path, affecting only the permeability without changing the selective gas-separation performance for the copolymers with a PDMS content of 20% or above.

Combining Machine Learning and Molecular Simulations to Unlock Gas Separation Potentials of MOF Membranes and MOF/Polymer MMMs.

Project description:Due to the enormous increase in the number of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), combining molecular simulations with machine learning (ML) would be a very useful approach for the accurate and rapid assessment of the separation performances of thousands of materials. In this work, we combined these two powerful approaches, molecular simulations and ML, to evaluate MOF membranes and MOF/polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for six different gas separations: He/H2, He/N2, He/CH4, H2/N2, H2/CH4, and N2/CH4. Single-component gas uptakes and diffusivities were computed by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, respectively, and these simulation results were used to assess gas permeabilities and selectivities of MOF membranes. Physical, chemical, and energetic features of MOFs were used as descriptors, and eight different ML models were developed to predict gas adsorption and diffusion properties of MOFs. Gas permeabilities and membrane selectivities of 5249 MOFs and 31,494 MOF/polymer MMMs were predicted using these ML models. To examine the transferability of the ML models, we also focused on computer-generated, hypothetical MOFs (hMOFs) and predicted the gas permeability and selectivity of 1000 hMOF/polymer MMMs. The ML models that we developed accurately predict the uptake and diffusion properties of He, H2, N2, and CH4 gases in MOFs and will significantly accelerate the assessment of separation performances of MOF membranes and MOF/polymer MMMs. These models will also be useful to direct the extensive experimental efforts and computationally demanding molecular simulations to the fabrication and analysis of membrane materials offering high performance for a target gas separation.
