Abstract
Membrane-based gas separation, characterized by a small footprint, low energy consumption and no pollution, has gained widespread attention as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gas separation. Metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be one of the most promising membrane-based gas separation materials because of their large specific surface area and high porosity. One of the hottest studies at the moment is how to utilize the characteristics of MOFs to prepare higher performance gas separation membranes. This paper provides a review of gas separation membranes used in recent years. Firstly, the synthesis methods of MOFs and MOF membranes are briefly introduced. Then, methods to improve the membrane properties of MOFs are described in detail, and include applications of lamellar MOFs, ionic liquid (IL) spin coating, functionalization of MOFs, defect engineering and mixed fillers. In addition, the challenges of MOF-based gas separation membranes are presented, including pore size, environmental disturbances, plasticization, interfacial compatibility, and so on. Finally, based on the current development status of the MOF membranes, the development prospects of MOF gas separation membranes are discussed. It is hoped to provide reliable and complete ideas for researchers to prepare high-performance gas separation membranes in the future.

Highly-Controlled Soft-Templating Synthesis of Hollow ZIF-8 Nanospheres for Selective CO 2 Separation and Storage. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:31740-31754. [PMID: 37345663 PMCID: PMC10326808 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c06502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
Global warming is an ever-rising environmental concern, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is among its major causes. Different technologies, including adsorption, cryogenic separation, and sequestration, have been developed for CO2 separation and storage/utilization. Among these, carbon capture using nano-adsorbents has the advantages of excellent CO2 separation and storage performance as well as superior heat- and mass-transfer characteristics due to their large surface area and pore volume. In this work, an environmentally friendly, facile, bottom-up synthesis of ZIF-8 hollow nanospheres (with reduced chemical consumption) was developed for selective CO2 separation and storage. During this soft-templating synthesis, a combined effect of ultra-sonication and low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis showed better control over an oil-in-water microemulsion formation and the subsequent growth of large-surface-area hollow ZIF-8 nanospheres having excellent particle size distribution. Systematic studies on the synthesis parameters were also performed to achieve fine-tuning of the ZIF-8 crystallinity, hollow structures, and sphere size. The optimized hollow ZIF-8 nanosphere sample having uniform size distribution exhibited remarkable CO2 adsorption capability (∼2.24 mmol g-1 at 0 °C and 1.75 bar), a CO2/N2 separation selectivity of 12.15, a good CO2 storage capacity (1.5-1.75 wt %), and an excellent cyclic adsorption/desorption performance (up to four CO2 adsorption/desorption cycles) at 25 °C. In addition, the samples showed exceptional structural stability with only ∼15% of overall weight loss up to 600 °C under a nitrogen environment. Therefore, the hollow ZIF-8 nanospheres as well as their highly controlled soft-templating synthesis method reported in this work are useful in the course of the development of nanomaterials with optimized properties for future CO2 capture technologies.

Abstract
The exploration of electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and long-term stability for electrochemical energy conversion is significant yet remains challenging. Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived superstructures are a source of atomic-site-containing electrocatalysts. These atomic sites anchor the guest encapsulation and self-assembly of aspheric polyhedral particles produced using microreactor fabrication. This review provides an overview of ZIF-derived superstructures by highlighting some of the key structural types, such as open carbon cages, 1D superstructures, hollow structures, and the interconversion of superstructures. The fundamentals and representative structures are outlined to demonstrate the role of superstructures in the construction of materials with atomic sites, such as single- and dual-atom materials. Then, the roles of ZIF-derived single-atom sites for the electroreduction of CO2 and electrochemical synthesis of H2 O2 are discussed, and their electrochemical performance for energy conversion is outlined. Finally, the perspective on advancing single- and dual-atom electrode-based electrochemical processes with enhanced redox activity and a low-impedance charge-transfer pathway for cathodes is provided. The challenges associated with ZIF-derived superstructures for electrochemical energy conversion are discussed.
