Abstract
Performing gas separation at high efficiency with minimum energy input and reduced carbon footprint is a major challenge. While several separation methods exist at various technology readiness levels, porous membrane-based separation is considered as a disruptive technology. To attain sustainability and required efficiency, different approaches of membrane design have been explored. However, the selectivity-permeation trade-off and membrane aging have restricted further advancement. In this regard, a new generation composite made of organic polymers and metal-organic framework (MOF) fillers shows substantial promise. Organic polymer matrix allows easy processibility, but it has poor permselectivity for gas molecules. Metal-organic frameworks are excellent sieving materials; however, they suffer from poor processibility issues. A combination of these two components makes an ideal sieving membrane, which can potentially outnumber the existing energy intensive distillation strategies. In this perspective, we have discussed key indices that regulate gas permselectivity by a careful selection of the existing literature. While the target gas flux and selectivity values have been a part of many previous reviews and articles, we have presented a concise discussion on the interface design of the MOF-polymer membrane, morphology, and orientation control of MOF fillers in the matrix. Following this, a future roadmap to overcome challenges related to MOF-polymer interfacial defects is outlined.

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.

Abstract
Carbon capture has become a very important method for curbing the problems associated with the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn has detrimental effects on the planet and its inhabitants. Ionic liquids and membrane separation have been explored in this review paper as effective means of capturing carbon dioxide. An innovative approach to CO2 capture is the use of Ionic liquids (ILs) since they exhibit certain significant traits such as good stability (thermal, mechanical and chemical), inflammability and high absorptive capacities. Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely regarded as nontoxic substances. Viscosity and thermal degradation of ILs at temperatures slightly above 100 °C are the major disadvantages of ILs. Membrane separation is a technique used for the effective separation of substances by materials bearing holes in a continuous structure. Membrane technology has gained significant improvements, over the years. Several ILs and membrane systems were considered in this work. Their weaknesses, strengths, permeability, selectivity, operating conditions and carbon capture efficiencies, were all highlighted in order to gain a good perspective on ways by which the individual systems can be improved upon. The study considered several polymer-Ionic liquid hybrid materials as viable options for CO2 capture from a post-combustion process. Different ILs were scrutinized for possible integration in membranes by taking full advantage of their individual properties and harnessing their tune-able characteristics in order to improve the overall carbon capture performance of the system. Several options for improving the mechanical, chemical, and thermal stabilities of the hybrid systems were considered including the use of cellulose acetate membrane, nanoparticles (graphene oxide powder) alongside potential ionic liquids. Doping membranes with ILs and nanoparticulates such as graphene oxide serves as a potential method for enhancing the CO2 capture of membranes and this review provides several evidences that serve as proofs for this concept.

Abstract
Uniform dispersion and high interfacial adhesion are two of the most difficult components of creating an ideally reinforced polymer composite. One of the solutions could be surface engineering of reinforcing filler materials utilizing innovative technologies. Low-temperature plasma treatments in the presence of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas are proposed as a sustainable alternative to modify the surface properties of biochar carbon synthesized from sustainable starch-based packaging waste via a high-temperature/pressure pyrolysis reaction in the current study. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests revealed that plasma treatments were effective in the fluorination of biochar carbon like wet chemical methods. By delivering fluorine-related functionalities only on the surface of the carbon, plasma treatments were efficient in changing the surface properties of biochar carbon while keeping the carbon's beneficial bulk properties intact, which is unique to this method. The modified biochar was effectively utilized to reinforce polypropylene. Mechanical properties like tensile strength improved by 91% when compared to neat polymers and 31% when compared to untreated biochar-reinforced polymers at 0.75 wt % loadings. Elongation at break increased from 12.7 to 38.78, showing an impressive 216% increase due to effective reinforcement by plasma functionalization. The decomposition onset temperature and maximum rate of decomposition temperature increased by 60 and 49 °C, respectively, when compared to neat polymers. Plasma-modified biochar-reinforced three-dimensional printed samples have shown promise to be utilized for the development of composite parts using additive manufacturing methods.

Abstract
Copoly(o-hydroxyamide)s (HPA) and copoly(o-hydroxyamide-amide)s (PAA) have been synthesized to be used as continuous phases in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). These polymeric matrices were blended with different loads (15 and 30 wt.%) of a relatively highly microporous porous polymer network (PPN). SEM images of the manufactured MMMs exhibited good compatibility between the two phases for all the membranes studied, and their mechanical properties have been shown to be good enough even after thermal treatment. The WAX results show that the addition of PPN as a filler up to 30% does not substantially change the intersegmental distance and the polymer packing. It seems that, for all the membranes studied, the free volume that determines gas transport is in the high end of the possible range. This means that gas flow occurs mainly between the microvoids in the polymer matrix around the filler. In general, both HPA- and PAA-based MMMs exhibited a notable improvement in gas permeability, due to the presence of PPN, for all gases tested, with an almost constant selectivity. In summary, although the thermal stability of the PAA is limited by the thermal stability of the polyamide side chain, their mechanical properties were better. The permeability was higher for the PAA membranes before their thermal rearrangement, and these values increased after the addition of moderate amounts of PPN.

Abstract
Microfluidic synthesis methods are among the most promising approaches for controlling the size and morphology of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs). In this work, for the first time, atomistic mechanisms involved in morphological changes of polybenzimidazole (PBI) NPs in microfluidic media are investigated. The multiscale molecular dynamic (MD) simulations are validated with the literature modeling and experimental data. A good agreement is obtained between the molecular modeling results and experimental data. The effects of mixing time, solvent type, dopant, and simulation box size at the molecular level are investigated. Mixing time has a positive impact on the morphology of the PBI NPs. Microfluidic technology can control the mixing time well and engineer the morphology of the NPs. In the process of morphological changes, at the optimum time (about 11.5 ms), the attraction energy between the polymer molecules is at the highest level (-37.65 kJ/mol). The size of the polymer NPs is minimal (2.3 nm), and the aspect ratio and entropy are at the lowest level, equal to 1.07 and 11.024 kJ/mol·K, respectively. It was found that the presence of water leads to the precipitation of polymeric NPs owing to the dominance of hydrophobic forces. Both dimethylacetamide (DMA) and phosphoric acid (PA) improve the control of the size and morphology of NPs. However, the addition of PA has a greater impact; PA acts as a cross-linker, making PBI NPs finer and more spherical. In addition, MD simulation reveals that PA increases the proton diffusion coefficient in PBI and enhances its efficiency in fuel cells. This study paves a new efficient way for morphological engineering of polymeric NPs using microfluidic technology.

Abstract
Processes, such as biogas upgrading and natural gas sweetening, make CO2/CH4 separation an environmentally relevant and current topic. One way to overcome this separation issue is the application of membranes. An increase in separation efficiency can be achieved by applying mixed-matrix membranes, in which filler materials are introduced into polymer matrices. In this work, we report the covalent triazine framework CTF-biphenyl as filler material in a matrix of the glassy polyimide Matrimid®. MMMs with 8, 16, and 24 wt% of the filler material are applied for CO2/CH4 mixed-gas separation measurements. With a CTF-biphenyl loading of only 16 wt%, the CO2 permeability is more than doubled compared to the pure polymer membrane, while maintaining the high CO2/CH4 selectivity of Matrimid®.

Abstract
The principle of breathable food packaging is to provide the optimal number of pores to transfer a sufficient amount of fresh air into the packaging headspace. In this work, antimicrobial microporous eco-friendly polymeric membranes were developed for food packaging. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were chosen as the main packaging polymers for their biodegradability. To develop the microporous films, sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were used as porogenic agents and the membranes were prepared using solvent-casting techniques. The results showed that films with of 50% NaCl and 10% PEO by mass achieved the highest air permeability and oxygen transmission rate (O2TR) with PLA. Meanwhile, blends of 20% PLA and 80% PCL by mass showed the highest air permeability and O2TR at 100% NaCl composition. The microporous membranes were also coated with cinnamaldehyde, a natural antimicrobial ingredient, to avoid the transportation of pathogens through the membranes into the packaged foods. In vitro analysis showed that the biodegradable membranes were not only environmentally friendly but also allowed for maximum food protection through the transportation of sterile fresh air, making them ideal for food packaging applications.

Abstract
The membranes' role is of supreme importance in the separation of compounds under different phases of matter. The topic addressed here is based on the use of membranes on the gases separation, specifically the advantages of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) when using carbon nanotubes as fillers to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from other carrier gas. MMMs consist of a polymer support with additive fillers to improve their efficiency by increasing both selectivity and permeability. The most promising fillers in the MMM development are nanostructured molecules. Due to the good prospects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as MMM fillers, this article aims to concentrate the advances and developments of CNT-MMM to separate gases, such as CO2. The influence of functionalized CNT or mixtures of CNT with additional materials such as zeolites, hydrogel and, graphene sheets on membranes performance is highlighted in the present work.

Abstract
Abstract
The excessive use of natural gas and other fossil fuels by the industrial sector leads to the production of great quantities of gas pollutants, including CO2, SO2, and NO
x
. Consequently, these gases increase the temperature of the earth, producing global warming. Different strategies have been developed to help overcome this problem, including the utilization of separation membrane technology. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are hybrid membranes that combine an organic polymer as a matrix and an inorganic compound as a filler. In this study, MMMs were prepared based on polyethersulfone (PES) and a type of metal–organic framework (MOF), Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL)-100(Al) [Al3O(H2O)2(OH)(BTC)2] (BTC: benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate) using a phase inversion method. The influence on the properties of the produced membranes by addition of 5, 10, 20, and 30% MIL-100(Al) (w/w) to the PES was also investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated that no chemical interactions occurred between PES and MIL-100(Al). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed agglomeration at PES/MIL-100(Al) 30% (w/w) and that the thickness of the dense layer increased up to 3.70 µm. After the addition of MIL-100(Al) of 30% (w/w), the permeability of the MMMs for CO2, O2, and N2 gases was enhanced by approximately 16, 26, and 14 times, respectively, as compared with a neat PES membrane. The addition of MIL-100(Al) to PES increased the thermal stability of the membranes, reaching 40°C as indicated by thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). An addition of 20% MIL-100(Al) (w/w) increased membrane selectivity for CO2/O2 from 2.67 to 4.49 (approximately 68.5%), and the addition of 10% MIL-100(Al) increased membrane selectivity for CO2/N2 from 1.01 to 2.12 (approximately 110.1%).

Abstract
The contribution of surface roughness of nonporous polymeric membranes to their gas separation and mechanical properties was studied in terms of surface free energy. The membranes samples were prepared based on glassy polymers with different chain rigidity, namely polysulfone (PSU), cellulose triacetate (CTA), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The results were obtained by atomic force and scanning electron microscopy (AFM and SEM) with individual gas permeation, wettability, and mechanical testing. The specific surface free energy (as well as its polar and dispersive components) for the polymers was calculated by the Owens-Wendt method. It was proven that the surface roughness of the polymer membranes affects both energy components; however, the degree of this influence depends on the chemical nature of the corresponding polymer. Moreover, it was assumed that the dispersive energy component is inversely correlated with any gases' total permeability. In contrast, the polar one is inversely correlated with the permeability by gases with the ability for site-specific interactions. The gas separation results confirmed this assumption. It was also shown that the mechanical properties of the polymer membranes are also influenced by the surface energy, namely, its dispersive component.

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
We present a facile approach to encapsulate functional porous organic cages (POCs) into a robust MOF by an incipient-wetness impregnation method. Porous cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) cages with high CO2 affinity were successfully encapsulated into the nanospace of Cr-based MIL-101 while retaining the crystal framework, morphology, and high stability of MIL-101. The encapsulated CB6 amount is controllable. Importantly, as the CB6 molecule with intrinsic micropores is smaller than the inner mesopores of MIL-101, more affinity sites for CO2 are created in the resulting CB6@MIL-101 composites, leading to enhanced CO2 uptake capacity and CO2 /N2 , CO2 /CH4 separation performance at low pressures. This POC@MOF encapsulation strategy provides a facile route to introduce functional POCs into stable MOFs for various potential applications.

Abstract
AbstractMixed matrix membrane (MMM), formed by dispersing fillers in polymer matrix, has attracted researchers’ attention due to its outstanding performance compared to polymeric membrane. However, its widespread use is limited due to high cost of the commercial filler which leads to the studies on alternative low-cost fillers. Recent works have focused on utilizing agricultural wastes as potential fillers in fabricating MMM. A membrane with good permeability and selectivity was able to be prepared at low cost. The objective of this review article is to compile all the available information on the potential agricultural wastes as fillers in fabricating MMM for gas separation application. The gas permeation mechanisms through polymeric and MMM as well as the chemical and physical properties of the agricultural waste fillers were also reviewed. Additionally, the economic study and future direction of MMM development especially in gas separation field were discussed.

Abstract
Membrane gas separation offers high energy efficiency, easy operation, and reduced environmental impacts for vast hydrocarbon recovery in the petrochemical industry. However, the recovery of real light hydrocarbon mixtures (e.g., olefin/nitrogen) remains challenging for lack of high-performance membranes with sufficient reverse selectivity (large molecules permeate faster) and permeability. Here, we report the incorporation of fine-tuned, giant-pore featured MIL-101 nanocrystals into rubbery polymers to fabricate hybrid membranes, which successfully exploited the giant-pore channels and large sorption volume of the MIL-101 pore system. The synthesized MIL-101/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) hybrid membranes demonstrated remarkably simultaneous improvement of gas permeance and separation factor for the model gas mixture propylene/nitrogen. Compared with the pristine PDMS, the propylene permeance and separation factor could be improved by more than 50% by adjusting MIL-101 loading and operating conditions. By consulting molecular simulations and gas sorption analysis, we verified that the giant-pore system of MIL-101 and the elastic PDMS chains exhibited a synergistic effect on improving both hydrocarbon solution and diffusion. Pore properties of MIL-101 contributed favorably to accelerated propylene diffusion in MIL-101 that is 236% faster than that in PDMS. In the meantime, MIL-101 reinforced the hydrocarbon solution additionally to PDMS, which further facilitated hydrocarbon transport.

Abstract
A metal-organic polymer with high water stability was successfully developed to efficiently recover Au(III) from aqueous solutions. This material shows excellent performance for the adsorption of Au(III). Nearly 100% of Au(III) could be removed with fast adsorption rate at low concentration solutions, and the maximum adsorption capacity of 1317 mg/g could be achieved. Significantly, the material shows encouraging selectivity toward Au(III) in the presence of competitive ions such as Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) in both batch and flow-through experiments. Additionally, the material could be regenerated effectively by thiourea with desorption ratio of almost 100%, and exhibits excellent reutilization without significant loss of adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism could be attributed to reduce Au(III) to Au(0) by the material. The material still exhibits excellent adsorption performance toward Au in real electronic waste (e-waste) solutions, providing a promising adsorbent for recycle of Au(III) from e-waste.

Abstract
Nano/microsized MIL-101Cr was synthesized by microwave heating of emulsions for the use as a composite with Matrimid mixed-matrix membranes (MMM) to enhance the performance of a mixed-gas-separation. As an example, we chose CO2/CH4 separation. Although the incorporation of MIL-101Cr in MMMs is well-known, the impact of nanosized MIL-101Cr in MMMs is new and shows an improvement compared to microsized MIL-101Cr under the same conditions and mixed-gas permeation. In order to reproducibly obtain nanoMIL-101Cr microwave heating was supplemented by carrying out the reaction of chromium nitrate and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid in heptane-in-water emulsions with the anionic surfactant sodium oleate as emulsifier. The use of this emulsion with the phase inversion temperature (PIT) method offered controlled nucleation and growth of nanoMIL-101 particles to an average size of <100 nm within 70 min offering high apparent BET surface areas (2,900 m2 g-1) and yields of 45%. Concerning the CO2/CH4 separation, the best result was obtained with 24 wt.% of nanoMIL-101Cr@Matrimid, leading to 32 Barrer in CO2 permeability compared to six Barrer for the neat Matrimid polymer membrane and 21 Barrer for the maximum possible 20 wt.% of microMIL-101Cr@Matrimid. The nanosized filler allowed reaching a higher loading where the permeability significantly increased above the predictions from Maxwell and free-fractional-volume modeling. These improvements for MMMs based on nanosized MIL-101Cr are promising for other gas separations.

Abstract
In this work, mesostructured metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of MIL-101-Crs with different specific surface areas were synthesized successfully under solvothermal conditions using cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a structural template. It was found that crystallinity degrees, specific surface areas, and pore size distributions strongly depended on the loading of CTAB. Nitrogen adsorption and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) results showed that the mean mesopore size increased with loading more CTAB due to the formation of larger templated mesopores. Although Langmuir adsorption of both methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) was confirmed in MIL-101-Crs, the experimental results showed different adsorption behaviors for them depending on the dye molecular size, pore structure, and charge properties of dye molecules/MOFs in solution. The MB molecules were found to be mainly adsorbed in the interspaces between grains and the templated mesopores, whereas the MO molecules were adsorbed in the inherent pores as well as the templated ones in MOFs due to the unsaturated metal sites' electrostatic attraction on them. Remarkably, MO adsorption capacity was observed to be proportional to the specific surface area, which allowed one to get a good linear fitting of experimental data. Interestingly, the good consistence between the fitting experimental parameter, that is, the number of adsorbed MO-s per unit specific surface area, and the calculated one according to our rough estimation strongly suggests that MO-s are electrostatically attracted and rotating around the unsaturated metal sites on MOFs' inner surfaces, which exclude other MO-s to be adsorbed around due to the "hindering effect" of the rotating motion.
