RSC Adv 2024; 14:20786-20796. [PMID: 38952929 PMCID: PMC11215809 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08730a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
A tough ion gel membrane containing a CO2-philic ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ([Emim][C(CN)3]), was developed, and its CO2 permeation properties were evaluated under humid conditions at elevated temperatures. Pebax 1657, which is a diblock copolymer composed of a polyamide block and a polyethylene oxide block, was used as the gel network of the ion gel membrane to prepare a tough ion gel with good ionic liquid-holding properties. The polyamide block formed a semicrystalline structure in [Emim][C(CN)3] to toughen the ion gel membrane via an energy dissipation mechanism. The polyethylene oxide block exhibited good compatibility with [Emim][C(CN)3] and contributed to the retention of the ionic liquid in the ion gel. The developed ion gel membrane showed a good CO2 separation performance of 1677 barrer CO2 permeability and 37 CO2/N2 permselectivity under humid conditions of 75% relative humidity at an elevated temperature of 50 °C, which corresponds to an exhaust gas from a coal-fired power plant.

Abstract
Penetrant-induced plasticization has prevented the industrial deployment of many polymers for membrane-based gas separations. With the advent of microporous polymers, new structural design features and unprecedented property sets are now accessible under controlled laboratory conditions, but property sets can often deteriorate due to plasticization. Therefore, a critical understanding of the origins of plasticization in microporous polymers and the development of strategies to mitigate this effect are needed to advance this area of research. Herein, an integrative discussion is provided on seminal plasticization theory and gas transport models, and these theories and models are compared to an exhaustive database of plasticization characteristics of microporous polymers. Correlations between specific polymer properties and plasticization behavior are presented, including analyses of plasticization pressures from pure-gas permeation tests and mixed-gas permeation tests for pure polymers and composite films. Finally, an evaluation of common and current state-of-the-art strategies to mitigate plasticization is provided along with suggestions for future directions of fundamental and applied research on the topic.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:2951.

Abstract
An increasing number of high-performing gas separation membranes is reported almost on a daily basis, yet only a few of them have reached commercialisation while the rest are still considered pure research outcomes. This is often attributable to a rapid change in the performance of these separation systems over a relatively short time. A common approach to address this issue is the development of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). These hybrid systems typically utilise either crystalline or amorphous additives, so-called fillers, which are incorporated into polymeric membranes at different loadings, with the aim to improve and stabilise the final gas separation performance. After a general introduction to the most relevant models to describe the transport properties in MMMs, this review intends to investigate and discuss the main advantages and disadvantages derived from the inclusion of fillers of different morphologies. Particular emphasis will be given to the study of the compatibility at the interface between the filler and the matrix created by the two different classes of additives, the inorganic and crystalline fillers vs. their organic and amorphous counterparts. It will conclude with a brief summary of the main findings.

Dibenzomethanopentacene-Based Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Use in Gas-Separation Membranes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202215250. [PMID: 36511357 PMCID: PMC10107563 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202215250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Dibenzomethanopentacene (DBMP) is shown to be a useful structural component for making Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) with promise for making efficient membranes for gas separations. DBMP-based monomers for PIMs are readily prepared using a Diels-Alder reaction between 2,3-dimethoxyanthracene and norbornadiene as the key synthetic step. Compared to date for the archetypal PIM-1, the incorporation of DBMP simultaneously enhances both gas permeability and the ideal selectivity for one gas over another. Hence, both ideal and mixed gas permeability data for DBMP-rich co-polymers and an amidoxime modified PIM are close to the current Robeson upper bounds, which define the state-of-the-art for the trade-off between permeability and selectivity, for several important gas pairs. Furthermore, long-term studies (over ≈3 years) reveal that the reduction in gas permeabilities on ageing is less for DBMP-containing PIMs relative to that for other high performing PIMs, which is an attractive property for the fabrication of membranes for efficient gas separations.

Abstract
The development of sensitive method for analysis ofpesticide residue is of great significance to ensure food safety and promote globalization of food trade. An original method was proposed for analysis of phenoxy carboxylic acids (PCAs) pesticide in plant-derived food. To concentrate trace PCAs, the TAPT-DHTA-COF was fabricated by a facile room-temperature method and utilized as the solid phase extraction cartridge packing. The TAPT-DHTA-COF exhibited excellent adsorption capacity and recyclability towards PCAs. Theoretical simulation indicated that the adsorption of PCAs onto the TAPT-DHTA-COF was driven by hydrogen bond, halogen bond and π-π interaction. Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for detection, good linearity ranged from 0.10 to 40 ng·g-1 and low limits of detection varied from 0.007 to 0.030 ng·g-1 were achieved for PCAs in rice, apple and greengrocery. The recoveries of PCAs from the spiked samples ranged from 81.2% to 107%. The reliability was verified by the accurate determination of certified reference materials.

Abstract
Global warming by greenhouse gas emissions is one of the main threats of our modern society, and efficient CO2 capture processes are needed to solve this problem. Membrane separation processes have been identified among the most promising technologies for CO2 capture, and these require the development of highly efficient membrane materials which, in turn, requires detailed understanding of their operation mechanism. In the last decades, molecular modeling studies have become an extremely powerful tool to understand and anticipate the gas transport properties of polymeric membranes. This work presents a study on the correlation of the structural features of different membrane materials, analyzed by means of molecular dynamics simulation, and their gas diffusivity/selectivity. We propose a simplified method to determine the void size distribution via an automatic image recognition tool, along with a consolidated Connolly probe sensing of space, without the need of demanding computational procedures. Based on a picture of the void shape and width, automatic image recognition tests the dimensions of the void elements, reducing them to ellipses. Comparison of the minor axis of the obtained ellipses with the diameters of the gases yields a qualitative estimation of non-accessible paths in the geometrical arrangement of polymeric chains. A second tool, the Connolly probe sensing of space, gives more details on the complexity of voids. The combination of the two proposed tools can be used for a qualitative and rapid screening of material models and for an estimation of the trend in their diffusivity selectivity. The main differences in the structural features of three different classes of polymers are investigated in this work (glassy polymers, superglassy perfluoropolymers and high free volume polymers of intrinsic microporosity), and the results show how the proposed computationally less demanding analysis can be linked with their selectivities.
