Abstract
PHAHST (potentials with high accuracy, high speed, and transferability) is a recently developed force field that utilizes exponential repulsion, multiple dispersion terms, explicit many-body polarization, and many-body van der Waals interactions. The result is a systematic approach to force field development that is computationally practical. Here, PHAHST is employed in the simulation for rare gas uptake of krypton and xenon in the metal-organic material, HKUST-1. This material has shown promise in use as an adsorptive separating agent and presents a challenge to model due to the presence of heterogeneous interaction sorption surfaces, which include pores with readily accessible, open-metal sites that compete with dispersion-dominated pores. Such environments are difficult to simulate with commonly used empirical force fields, such as the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential, which perform better when electrostatics are dominant in determining the nature of sorption and alone are incapable of modeling interactions with open-metal sites. The effectiveness of PHAHST is compared to the LJ potential in a series of mixed Kr-Xe gas simulations. It has been demonstrated that PHAHST compares favorably with experimental results, and the LJ potential is inadequate. Overall, we establish that force fields with physically grounded repulsion/dispersion terms are required in order to accurately model sorption, as these interactions are an important component of the energy. Furthermore, it is shown that the simple mixing rules work nearly quantitatively for the true pair potentials, while they are not transferable for effective potentials like LJ.

Abstract
The inherent inertness and striking physicochemical similarities of krypton and xenon pose significant challenges to their separation. Reported herein is the efficient xenon capture and xenon/krypton adsorptive separation by transition metal-free zeolites under ambient conditions. The polarized environment of zeolite, denoted as local polarity, can be tuned by changing the topology, framework composition, and counter-cations, which in turn correlates with the guest-host interaction and separation performance. Chabazite zeolite with a framework Si/Al ratio of 2.5 and Ca2+ as the counter-cations, namely, Ca-CHA-2.5, is developed as a state-of-the-art zeolite adsorbent, showing remarkable performance, i.e., high dynamic xenon uptake, high xenon/krypton separation selectivity, and good recyclability, in the adsorptive separation of the xenon/krypton mixture. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation reveals that extraframework Ca2+ cations act as the primary binding sites for xenon and can stabilize xenon molecules together with the chabazite framework, whereas krypton molecules are stabilized by weak guest-host interaction with the zeolite framework.

Abstract
There have been significant advancements in small-pore zeolite membranes in recent years. With pore size closely related to many energy- or environment-related gas molecules, small-pore zeolite membranes have demonstrated great potential for the separation of some interested gas pairs, such as CO2/CH4, CO2/N2 and N2/CH4. Small-pore zeolite membranes share some characteristics but also have distinctive differences depending on their framework, structure and zeolite chemistry. Through this mini review, the separation performance of different types of zeolite membranes with respect to interested gas pairs will be compared. We aim to give readers an idea of membrane separation status. A few representative synthesis conditions are arbitrarily chosen and summarized, along with the corresponding separation performance. This review can be used as a quick reference with respect to the influence of synthesis conditions on membrane quality. At the end, some general findings and perspectives will be discussed.

Abstract
Capture and storage of the long‐lived 85Kr is an efficient approach to mitigate the emission of volatile radionuclides from the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. However, it is challenging to separate krypton (Kr) from xenon (Xe) because of the chemical inertness and similar physical properties. Herein we prepared high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes with ultra‐high selectivity and irradiation stability for Kr/Xe separation. The suitable aperture size and rigid framework endures the membrane a strong size‐exclusion effect. The ultrahigh selectivity of 51–152 together with the Kr permeance of 0.7–1.3×10−8 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 of high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes far surpass the state‐of‐the‐art polymeric membranes. The membrane is among the most stable polycrystalline membranes for separation of humid Kr/Xe mixtures. Together with the excellent irradiation stability, high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes pave the way to separate radioactive Kr from Xe for a notable reduction of the volatile nuclear waste storage volume.

Abstract
Microporous framework membranes such as metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes and covalent organic framework (COF) membranes are constructed by the controlled growth of small building blocks with large porosity and permanent well-defined micropore structures, which can overcome the ubiquitous tradeoff between membrane permeability and selectivity; they hold great promise for the enormous challenging separations in energy and environment fields. Therefore, microporous framework membranes are endowed with great expectations as next-generation membranes, and have evolved into a booming research field. Numerous novel membrane materials, versatile manipulation strategies of membrane structures, and fascinating applications have erupted in the last five years. First, this review summarizes and categorizes the microporous framework membranes with pore sizes lower than 2 nm based on their chemistry: inorganic microporous framework membranes, organic-inorganic microporous framework membranes, and organic microporous framework membranes, where the chemistry, fabrications, and differences among these membranes have been highlighted. Special attention is paid to the membrane structures and their corresponding modifications, including pore architecture, intercrystalline grain boundary, as well as their diverse control strategies. Then, the separation mechanisms of membranes are covered, such as diffusion-selectivity separation, adsorption-selectivity separation, and synergetic adsorption-diffusion-selectivity separation. Meanwhile, intricate membrane design to realize synergistic separation and some emerging mechanisms are highlighted. Finally, the applications of microporous framework membranes for precise gas separation, liquid molecule separation, and ion sieving are summarized. The remaining challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed. This timely review may provide genuine guidance on the manipulation of membrane structures and inspire creative designs of novel membranes, promoting the sustainable development and steadily increasing prosperity of this field.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the successful synthesis and separation ability of CC3 porous organic cage membranes grown on tubular supports for light gases He, CO2, CH4, and Kr over xenon. CC3 membranes were synthesized using secondary seeded growth and displayed different separation performances depending on the crystal size, size distribution of the seeds, and membrane thickness. CC3 membranes as thin as ∼2.5 μm resulted in high single gas permeances of 2114, 1962, 1705, 773, and 162 GPU, for He, CH4, CO2, Kr, and Xe, respectively. The highest ideal selectivities for He/Xe, CH4/Xe, CO2/Xe, and Kr/Xe gas pairs were 13, 12, 10.5, and 4.8, respectively. Mechanistically, the membranes separated He, CO2, Kr, and CH4 from Xe mainly via gas diffusivity differences. Therefore, the separation was kinetically driven.

Abstract
The primary objective of this article is to gain fundamental insights into the dependences of component permeances Π i in microporous membranes on the operating conditions (upstream partial pressures, temperature, and feed composition). It is argued that the permeances Π i for unary systems and mixtures need to be compared on the basis of the adsorption potential πA/RT, a convenient and practical proxy for the spreading pressure π that is calculable using the ideal adsorbed solution theory for mixture adsorption equilibrium. The use of πA/RT as a yardstick serves to elucidate and rationalize a wide variety of published experimental Π i data on unary and mixture permeances in microporous membranes. For cage-type host structures such as SAPO-34, DDR, and ZIF-8, the Π i values are uniquely dictated by the magnitude of πA/RT, irrespective of the partner species in the mixture. For MFI membranes, the tardier species slows down the more mobile partners due to correlated molecular motion within the channels; the degree of correlation is also a function of πA/RT.

Abstract
We demonstrate that b-oriented MFI (Mobil Five) zeolite membranes can be manufactured by in situ crystallization using an intermediate amorphous SiO2 layer. The improved in-plane growth by using a zeolite growth modifier leads to fusion of independent crystals and eliminates boundary gaps, giving good selectivity in the separation of CO2/Xe mixtures. The fast diffusion of CO2 dominates the overall membrane selectivity toward the CO2/Xe mixture. Because of the straight and short [010] channels, the obtained CO2 permeation fluxes are several orders of magnitude higher than those of carbon molecular sieving membranes and polymeric membranes, opening opportunities for Xe recovery from waste anesthetic gas.

Abstract
Separation of radioisotope 85Kr from 136Xe is of importance in used nuclear fuel reprocessing. Membrane separation based on zeolite molecular sieves such as chabazite SAPO-34 is an attractive alternative to energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. We report the synthesis of SAPO-34 membranes with considerably enhanced performance via thickness reduction based upon control of a steam-assisted vapor-solid conversion technique followed by ion exchange with alkali metal cations. The reduction of membrane thickness leads to a large increase in Kr permeance from 7.5 to 26.3 gas permeation units (GPU) with ideal Kr/Xe selectivities >20 at 298 K. Cation-exchanged membranes show large (>50%) increases in selectivity at ambient or slight subambient conditions. The adsorption, diffusion, and permeation characteristics of ion-exchanged SAPO-34 materials and membranes are investigated in detail, with potassium-exchanged SAPO-34 membranes showing particularly attractive performance. We then demonstrate the fabrication of selective SAPO-34 membranes on α-alumina hollow fibers.

Abstract
Separation of xenon and krypton is highly relevant to several applications such as spent nuclear fuel processing. Molecular simulation has been extensively used to understand the Kr/Xe separation performance of nanoporous materials for adsorption-based technologies but less frequently for membrane-based technologies. Motivated by recent experimental reports on krypton-selective membranes, herein, we present grand canonical Monte Carlo and biased molecular dynamics simulations (using adaptive biasing force) to elucidate the nature of adsorption- and diffusion-based Kr/Xe separation mechanisms in a set of nanoporous materials: SAPO-34, ZIF-8, UiO-66, and IRMOF-1. Xenon is found to preferentially adsorb on all materials, but diffusion selectivity for krypton is found to dominate the overall membrane separation selectivity. To increase adsorption selectivity for krypton, large pore cages are found to be desirable. To increase diffusion selectivity for krypton, stiff pore windows with a diameter smaller than xenon (but larger than krypton) are found to be desirable. No perfect molecular sieving was found, but the relatively rigid SAPO-34 was more effective at excluding xenon than the more flexible ZIF-8. Indeed, during xenon "window crossing," the SAPO-34 window opened to only 3.8 Å, while the ZIF-8 window opened to 4.1 Å, resulting in a lower free energy "diffusion" barrier for xenon in ZIF-8. Therefore, an ideal membrane material for Kr/Xe separation should be rigid and have large pore cages and small pore windows. Temperature was found to have opposite effects on adsorption and diffusion selectivity, but because of the dominance of diffusion selectivity, our simulations indicate that it is preferable to operate membranes for Kr/Xe separation at lower temperatures than at higher ones.
