Abstract
Nanometer-thick two-dimensional (2D) materials are becoming ideal fillers for designing mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with high gas permeability and selectivity due to their unique structures. ZIF-67@BNNS composite fillers were prepared by combining boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS), a thermally stable and chemically inert two-dimensional material, with the metal-organic framework ZIF-67. By incorporating these materials into polyetherimide (PEI), MMMs with efficient hydrogen (H2) separation performance have been developed. The -NH2 groups on the BNNS surface provide a growth site for cobalt (Co) ions, facilitating the construction of a two-dimensional continuous channel by growing a ZIF-67 layer in situ on the BNNS surface. The inherent micropores of ZIF-67 create internal channels for gas transport within the composite packing, increasing gas permeability. The interlaced BNNS layer provides an external channel for gas transport, increasing resistance and contributing to improved gas selectivity. At a low loading of 1 wt%, the PEI/[email protected] MMMs exhibited a 199 % increase in H2 permeability and 87 % improvement in H2/CO2 selectivity compared to pure PEI membranes. In addition, these MMMs exhibit strong thermal stability and mechanical properties, making them promising for H2 separation applications.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
