Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) lamellar membranes, with highly ordered nanochannels between the adjacent layers, have revealed potential application prospects in various fields. To separate gases with similar kinetic diameters, intercalation of a functional liquid, especially an ionic liquid (IL), into 2D lamellar membranes is proved to be an efficient method due to the capacity of imparting solubility-based separation and sealing undesired defects. Stable immobilization of a high content of liquid is challenging but extremely required to achieve and maintain high separation performance. Herein, we describe the intercalation of a typical IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]), into the ionized nanochannels of sulfonated MXene lamellar membranes, where the sulfonate groups are anchored onto MXene nanosheets through a facile method based on metal-catechol chelating chemistry. Thanks to the intrinsic benefits of MXene as building blocks and the decorated sulfonate groups, the optimal membrane possesses adequate interlayer spacing (∼1.8 nm) and high IL uptake (∼47 wt %) and therefore presents a CO2 permeance of 519 GPU and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 210, outperforming the previously reported liquid-immobilized lamellar membranes. Moreover, the IL loss rate of the membrane within 7 days at elevated pressure (5 bar) is measured to be significantly decreased (from 43.2 to 9.0 wt %) after growing sulfonate groups on the nanochannel walls, demonstrating the excellent IL storage stability.

Abstract
The high aspect ratio and unique thermal and electrical characteristics of carbon nanofiber (CNF) made it an ideal physical barrier against the penetration of corrosive ions. However, the poor compatibility of the CNF with the polymer matrix and the lack of active corrosion inhibitors are the key limitations of this nanomaterial, resulting in short-term anti-corrosion resistance. An intelligent self-healing epoxy (EP) coating, including CNF modified with a polydopamine (PDA)-La3+ complex, was successfully fabricated to overcome these issues. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) evaluation implied that mild steel (MS) submerged in a 3.5 wt % NaCl solution containing the CNF-PDA-La extract had a total corrosion resistance (RT) of 3107 Ω cm2 after 24 h, which is much greater than the MS immersed in the blank solution (1378 Ω cm2). Furthermore, the potentiodynamic polarization analysis indicated a 50% reduction in the corrosion rate (CR) of the MS soaked in the solution containing released PDA and La3+ inhibitors compared to the blank solution. EIS and salt spray analysis were used to assess the self-healing capabilities of epoxy coatings incorporating modified CNFs. EIS assessment of scratched coatings revealed a 117% improvement in RT of the CNF-PDA-La/EP coating compared to the Blank/EP after 10 h of immersion in the saline solution. This enhancement is due to the intelligent release of PDA and La3+ inhibitors at the scratch sites, which can mitigate MS corrosion by forming a PDA-Fe complex and the deposition of La(OH)3 on the MS surface. The salt spray test results also exhibited the CNF-PDA-La/EP coating's superior anti-corrosion capabilities after 20 days. Hence, this research presents a logical approach for developing anti-corrosion coatings with improved nanofiller compatibility and self-healing characteristics.

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
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline materials ever synthesized. Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and chemical features have made these materials of significant interest for membrane-based gas separations. In this comprehensive review, we discuss opportunities and challenges related to the formation of pure MOF films and mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Common and emerging separation applications are identified, and membrane transport theory for MOFs is described and contextualized relative to the governing principles that describe transport in polymers. Additionally, cross-cutting research opportunities using advanced metrologies and computational techniques are reviewed. To quantify membrane performance, we introduce a simple membrane performance score that has been tabulated for all of the literature data compiled in this review. These data are reported on upper bound plots, revealing classes of MOF materials that consistently demonstrate promising separation performance. Recommendations are provided with the intent of identifying the most promising materials and directions for the field in terms of fundamental science and eventual deployment of MOF materials for commercial membrane-based gas separations.

Abstract
Increasing demand to strengthen energy security has increased the importance of natural gas sweetening and biogas upgrading processes. Membrane-based separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) is a relatively newer technology, which offers several competitive advantages, such as higher energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness, over conventional technologies. Recently, the use of graphene-based materials to elevate the performance of polymeric membranes have attracted immense attention. Herein, we do not seek to provide the reader with a comprehensive review of this topic but rather highlight the key challenges and our perspectives going ahead. We approach the topic by evaluating three mainstream membrane designs using graphene-based materials: (1) nanoporous single-layer graphene, (2) few- to multi-layered graphene-based stacked laminates, and (3) mixed-matrix membranes. At present, each design faces different challenges, including low scalability, high production cost, limited performance enhancement, and the lack of robust techno-economic review and systematic membrane design optimization. To help address these challenges, we have mapped out a technology landscape of the current graphene-based membrane research based on the separation performance enhancement, commercial viability, and production cost. Accordingly, we contend that future efforts devoted to advancing graphene-based membranes must be matched by progress in these strategic areas so as to realize practical and commercially relevant graphene-based membranes for CO2/CH4 separation and beyond.
