Abstract
The incorporation of two-dimensional (2D) functional nanosheets in polymeric membranes is a promising material strategy to overcome their inherent performance trade-off behavior. Herein, we report a novel nanocomposite membrane design by incorporating MXene, a 2D sheet-like nanoarchitecture known for its advantageous lamellar morphology and surface functionalities, into a cross-linked polyether block amide (Pebax)/poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) blend matrix, which delivered exceptional CO2/N2 and CO2/H2 separation performances that are critical to industrial CO2 capture applications. The finely dispersed Ti3C2Tx nanosheets in the blend polymer matrix led to an expansion of the free volume within the resultant mixed matrix membrane (MMM), giving rise to a substantially enhanced CO2 permeability of up to 1264.6 barrer, which is 102% higher than that of the pristine polymer. Moreover, these MXene-incorporated MMMs exhibited preferential sorption for CO2 over light gases, which contributed to an exceptional CO2/N2 and CO2/H2 selectivity (64.3 and 19.2, respectively) even at a small loading of only 1 wt %, allowing the overall performance to not only surpass the latest upper bounds but also exceed many previously reported high-performance nanosheet-based nanocomposite membranes. Long-term performance tests have also demonstrated the good stability of these membranes. This composite membrane design strategy reveals the remarkable potential of combining a blend copolymer matrix with ultrathin MXene nanosheets to achieve superior gas separation performance for environmentally important gas separations.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides, commonly referred to as MXenes, have gained widespread attention since their discovery in 2011 as a promising family of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Their impressive chemical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and biological properties have fueled a surge in research focused on the synthesis and application of MXenes in various fields, including membrane-based separation. By engineering the materials and membrane structures, MXene-based membranes have demonstrated remarkable separation performance and added functionalities, such as antifouling and photocatalytic properties. In this review, we aim to have a timely and critical review of research on their fabrication strategy and performance in advanced molecular separation and ion exchange, beginning with a brief introduction of the preparation and physicochemical properties of MXenes. Finally, outlooks and future works are outlined with the aims to provide valuable insights and guidance for advancing membranes' applications in different separation domains.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 344:140249. [PMID: 37758079 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
ZIF-67 nanoparticles were grown on ZIF-L(Zn) nanosheets by in-situ heteroepitaxial method, resulting in ZIF-67@ZIF-L(Zn) as a charming two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposite for incorporation into the Pebax-1657 and improving its CO2/N2 separation performance. The fabricated nanofillers and membranes were analyzed by characterization tests (FTIR, XRD, FESEM, and EDAX-mapping) and gas separation experiments (effect of filler loading, filler type, feed pressure, and long-term stability). It was observed that the nanosheets were well dispersed in the matrix, and they had formed a proper interaction by creating hydrogen bonds at the interface; in addition, due to their crystalline nature, they increased the crystallinity of the MMMs. The results of the gas permeability test showed that these nanofillers, with their composite structure, had a synergistic effect on the gas solubility and screening and caused a significant improvement in the separation performance of MMMs. So that the best performance achieved with a CO2 permeability of 72.9 Barrer and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 102.9 at 10 bar for the MMM containing 2 wt% of ZIF-L(Zn)@ZIF-67, also exceeding Robeson's upper bound. Moreover, Mindex as a criterion for evaluation of the gas separation performance of MMMs in simultaneous improvement of the permeability and selectivity was proposed in this work. The Mindex values in the range of 0.5-1.5 were calculated for the MMM containing 2 wt% of ZIF-L(Zn)@ZIF-67 nanosheet which indicating a good quality for the gas separation performance. Furthermore, at equal filler loading (2 wt%), this membrane outperformed all MMMs containing other nanofillers (ZIF-67, ZIF-8, ZIF-L(Co), or ZIF-L(Zn)).

Abstract
Environmental pollution has intensified and accelerated due to a steady increase in the number of industries, and exploring methods to remove hazardous contaminants, which can be typically divided into inorganic and organic compounds, have become inevitable. Therefore, the development of efficacious technology for the separation processes is of paramount importance to ensure the environmental remediation. Membrane and adsorption technologies garnered attention, especially with the use of novel and high performing nanomaterials, which provide a target-specific solution. Specifically, widespread use of MXene nanomaterials in membrane and adsorption technologies has emerged due to their intriguing characteristics, combined with outstanding separation performance. In this review, we demonstrated the intrinsic properties of the MXene family for several separation applications, namely, gas separation, solvent dehydration, dye removal, separation of oil-in-water emulsions, heavy metal ion removal, removal of radionuclides, desalination, and other prominent separation applications. We highlighted the recent advancements used to tune separation potential of the MXene family such as the manipulation of surface chemistry, delamination or intercalation methods, and fabrication of composite or nanocomposite materials. Moreover, we focused on the aspects of stability, fouling, regenerability, and swelling, which deserve special attention when the MXene family is implemented in membrane and adsorption-based separation applications.

Abstract
One scalable and facile dip-coating approach was utilized to construct a thin CO2-selection layer of Pebax/PEGDA-MXene on a hollow fiber PVDF substrate. An interlayer spacing of 3.59 Å was rationally designed and precisely controlled for the MXene stacks in the coated layer, allowing efficient separation of the CO2 (3.3 Å) from N2 (3.6 Å) and CH4 (3.8 Å). In addition, CO2-philic nanodomains in the separation layer were constructed by grafting PEGDA into MXene interlayers, which enhanced the CO2 affinity through the MXene interlayers, while non-CO2-philic nanodomains could promote CO2 transport due to the low resistance. The membrane could exhibit optimal separation performance with a CO2 permeance of 765.5 GPU, a CO2/N2 selectivity of 54.5, and a CO2/CH4 selectivity of 66.2, overcoming the 2008 Robeson upper bounds limitation. Overall, this facile approach endows a precise controlled molecular sieving MXene membrane for superior CO2 separation, which could be applied for interlayer spacing control of other 2D materials during membrane construction.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials have exhibited great potential in mitigating climate change through sensing and capturing carbon dioxide. The interaction of CO2 on orthorhombic silicon diphosphide remains unexplored in spite of its interesting properties such as high carrier mobility, piezoelectricity, and mechanical stability. Here, using density functional theory, the adsorption of CO2 on pristine and Ti-, V-, and Cr-doped monolayer SiP2 is investigated. Doped systems exhibited significantly stronger adsorption (-0.268 to -0.396 eV) than pristine SiP2 (-0.017 to -0.031 eV) and have the possibility of synthesis with low defect formation energies. Our results on adsorption energy, band structure, partial density of states, and charge transfer conclude that titanium- and vanadium-doped SiP2 monolayers would be promising materials for CO2 capture and removal.

Abstract
Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) possess the unique properties and inherent characteristics of their component polymer and inorganic fillers, or other possible types of additives. However, the successful fabrication of compact and defect-free MMMs with a homogeneous filler distribution poses a major challenge, due to poor filler/polymer compatibility. In this study, we use two-dimensional multi-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene nanofillers to improve the compatibility and CO2/CH4 separation performance of cellulose triacetate (CTA)-based MMMs. CTA-based MMMs with TiO2-based 1D (nanotubes) and 0D (nanofillers) additives were also fabricated and tested for comparison. The high thermal stability, compact homogeneous structure, and stable long-term CO2/CH4 separation performance of the CTA-2D samples suggest the potential application of the membrane in bio/natural gas separation. The best results were obtained for the CTA-2D sample with a loading of 3 wt.%, which exhibited a 5-fold increase in CO2 permeability and 2-fold increase in CO2/CH4 selectivity, compared with the pristine CTA membrane, approaching the state-of-the-art Robeson 2008 upper bound. The dimensional (shape) effect on separation performance was determined as 2D > 1D > 0D. The use of lamellar stacked MXene with abundant surface-terminating groups not only prevents the aggregation of particles but also enhances the CO2 adsorption properties and provides additional transport channels, resulting in improved CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity.

Abstract
An inspiring challenge for membrane scientists is to exceed the current materials' performance while keeping the intrinsic processability of the polymers. Nanocomposites, as mixed-matrix membranes, represent a practicable response to this strongly felt need, since they combine the superior properties of inorganic fillers with the easy handling of the polymers. In the global strategy of containing the greenhouse effect by pursuing a model of sustainable growth, separations involving CO2 are some of the most pressing topics due to their implications in flue gas emission and natural gas upgrading. For this purpose, Pebax copolymers are being actively studied by virtue of a macromolecular structure that comprises specific groups that are capable of interacting with CO2, facilitating its transport with respect to other gas species. Interestingly, these copolymers show a high versatility in the incorporation of nanofillers, as proved by the large number of papers describing nanocomposite membranes based on Pebax for the separation of CO2. Since the field is advancing fast, this review will focus on the most recent progress (from the last 5 years), in order to provide the most up-to-date overview in this area. The most recent approaches for developing Pebax-based mixed-matrix membranes will be discussed, evidencing the most promising filler materials and analyzing the key-factors and the main aspects that are relevant in terms of achieving the best effectiveness of these multifaceted membranes for the development of innovative devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, graphene oxide (GO), metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDS), boron nitride (BN), and layered double hydroxide (LDH) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely investigated as potential candidates in various separation applications because of their high mechanical strength, large surface area, ideal chemical and thermal stability, simplicity, ease of functionalization, environmental comparability, and good antibacterial performance. Recently, MXene as a new member of the 2D polymer family has attracted significant attention in water purification, desalination, gas separation, antibacterial, and antifouling applications. Herein, we review the most recent progress in the fabrication, preparation, and modification methods of MXene-based lamellar membranes with the emphasis on applications for water purification and desalination. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of MXene-based membranes show a significant potential for commercial use in water purification. Thus, this review provides a directional guide for future development in this emerging technology.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes holds great potential for high-performance CO2 capture. Aiming at enhancing the CO2 separation performance and structural stability of GO membranes, functionalizing GO channels with metal ions confers a promising strategy. In this study, we reported the fabrication of metal ion-incorporated GO membranes with remarkably improved CO2 /N2 separation performance. The metal ions within GO channels contribute to facilitating CO2 transport, decreasing N2 solubility, hindering N2 diffusion, and form multiple interactions with GO nanosheets. After introducing Mg2+ ions, the CO2 /N2 separation factor of GO membrane is remarkably increased from 4 to 48.8 with the CO2 permeance increases 1.5 times. Moreover, the separation performance of the GO-Mg2+ membranes shows an excellent long-term stability owing to the structural robustness. This study could provide insights into the regulation of the microstructure of metal ion-functionalized GO membranes for highly selective transport of specific molecules.

Abstract
The influence of casting centrifugation process parameters, such as a rotation speed (ω), the amount of the film-forming solution (V), and its concentration (C) on transport properties of composite membranes were investigated. A number of composite membranes based on poly (1-trimethylsilylpropyne) (PTMSP) and micro- (MFFK-1) and ultrafiltration (UFFK) membranes were obtained using the spin-coating method. For the first time, an unexpected dependence of permeance and ideal selectivity on rotation speed had been discovered: the thickness of the selective layer decreases from 3.0 to 1.0 μm for MFFK-1 and from 1.7 to 1.1 μm for UFFK with an increase of spin coater rotation speed from 500 to 3000 rpm. However, the gas permeance of composite membranes in the range of 500–2000 rpm was reduced due to an increase of a penetration depth of PTMSP into a support layer porous structure (estimated by the EDX method). The permeance of the PTMSP/UFFK membranes was higher than PTMSP/MFFK-1 membranes due to a thinner selective layer and a lower penetration depth of polymer solution into the pores of the support. The highest CO2/N2 selectivity values were achieved as 5.65 ± 0.9 at CO2 permeance 5600 ± 1000 GPU for PTMSP/UFFK membranes (CPTMSP = 0.35%, Vsolution = 1 mL, ω = 1000 rpm), and 6.1 ± 0.5 at CO2 permeance 4090 ± 500 GPU for PTMSP/MFFK-1 membranes (CPTMSP = 0.35%, Vsolution = 1 mL, ω = 2000 rpm).

Abstract
Various environmental pollutants (e.g., air, water and solid pollutants) are discharged into environments with the rapid development of industrializations, which is presently at the forefront of global attention. The high efficient removal of these environmental pollutants is of important concern due to their potential threat to human health and eco-diversity. Advanced nanomaterials may play an important role in the elimination of pollutants from environmental media. MXenes as the new intriguing class of graphene-like 2D transition metal carbides and/or carbonitrides have been widely used in energy storage, environmental remediation benefitting from exceptional structural properties such as highly active sites, high chemical stability, hydrophilicity, large interlayer spacing, huge specific surface area, superior sorption-reduction capacity. However, the comprehensive investigation concerning the removal of various environmental pollutants on MXenes is yet not available up to date. In this review, we summarized the synthesis and properties of MXenes to demonstrate the key roles in ameliorating their adsorption performance; then the recent advances and achievements in environmental application of MXenes on the removal of gases, organics, heavy metals and radionuclides were comprehensively reviewed in details; Finally, the formidable challenges and further perspectives regarding utilizing MXene in environmental remediation were proposed. Hopefully, this review can provide the useful information for environmental scientists and material engineers on designing versatile MXenes in actual environmental applications.
