Enhancing Permeability: Unraveling the Potential of Microporous Organic Polymers in Mixed Matrix Membranes. ACS APPLIED POLYMER MATERIALS 2024; 6:9088-9098. [PMID: 39144280 PMCID: PMC11320380 DOI: 10.1021/acsapm.4c01379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were formed by using seven polymeric matrices with a wide range of permeabilities. All of the polymeric matrices have been polyimides, namely: P84, Pi-DAPOH, Pi-DAROH, Matrimid, Pi-HABAc, PI-DAM, and PIM-1 in the order of increasing O2 permeability. A fixed (10%) concentration of a microporous organic polymer (TFAP-Trp), formed by the combination of trifluoroacetophenone and triptycene, was added as a porous filler. The material properties as well as their separation performances for multiple pure gases, specifically the permeabilities of He, N2, O2, CH4, and CO2, were measured. The correlation between the relative increase in permeability in MMMs and that of the matrix polymeric membrane has been quantitatively analyzed. This study proves that the increased permeability of MMMs is largely linked to the contribution of the high permeability of the filler. The addition of the TFAP-Trp porous filler proves to be especially beneficial for matrices with low to moderate permeabilities, significantly enhancing the matrix permeability overall. The fitted relationship is approximately linear in accordance with the existing models to predict permeability in dual-phase systems for low proportions of the dispersed phase. An extrapolation allows the evaluation of the permeability of the pure microporous organic polymer, which agrees with the previous values described by the group for different filler contents and in other polymeric matrices. In all cases, the selectivity remains approximately constant while the permeability increases. The addition of TFAP-Trp to all the polymeric matrices led to a moderate improvement of the MMM separation performances, mainly centered on their permeabilities.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2107536. [PMID: 35224843 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202107536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The booming of global environmental awareness has driven the scientific community to search for alternative sustainable approaches. This is accentuated in the 13th sustainable development goal (SDG13), climate action, where urgent efforts are salient in combating the drastic effects of climate change. Membrane separation is one of the indispensable gas purification technologies that effectively reduces the carbon footprint and is energy-efficient for large-scale integration. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as promising fillers embedded in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) to enhance gas separation performance. Tremendous research studies on MOFs-based MMMs have been conducted. Herein, this review offers a critical summary of the MOFs-based MMMs developed in the past 3 years. The basic models to estimate gas transport, preparation methods, and challenges in developing MMMs are discussed. Subsequently, the application and separation performance of a variety of MOFs-based MMMs including those of advanced MOFs materials are summarized. To accommodate industrial needs and resolve commercialization hurdles, the latest exploration of MOF materials for a harsh operating condition is emphasized. Along with the contemplation on the outlook, future perspective, and opportunities of MMMs, it is anticipated that this review will serve as a stepping stone for the coming MMMs research on sustainable and benign environmental application.
