Advancements in Gas Separation for Energy Applications: Exploring the Potential of Polymer Membranes with Intrinsic Microporosity (PIM). MEMBRANES 2023; 13:903. [PMID: 38132907 PMCID: PMC10744731 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13120903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Membrane-based Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) are promising candidates for energy-efficient industrial gas separations, especially for the separation of carbon dioxide over methane (CO2/CH4) and carbon dioxide over nitrogen (CO2/N2) for natural gas/biogas upgrading and carbon capture from flue gases, respectively. Compared to other separation techniques, membrane separations offer potential energy and cost savings. Ultra-permeable PIM-based polymers are currently leading the trade-off between permeability and selectivity for gas separations, particularly in CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2. These membranes show a significant improvement in performance and fall within a linear correlation on benchmark Robeson plots, which are parallel to, but significantly above, the CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 Robeson upper bounds. This improvement is expected to enhance the credibility of polymer membranes for CO2 separations and stimulate further research in polymer science and applied engineering to develop membrane systems for these CO2 separations, which are critical to energy and environmental sustainability. This review aims to highlight the state-of-the-art strategies employed to enhance gas separation performances in PIM-based membranes while also mitigating aging effects. These strategies include chemical post-modification, crosslinking, UV and thermal treatment of PIM, as well as the incorporation of nanofillers in the polymeric matrix.

Abstract
Molecularly rigid polymers with internal charges (positive charges induced by amine methylation) allow electroosmotic water flow to be tuned by adjusting the charge density (the degree of methylation). Here, a microporous polyamine (PIM-EA-TB) is methylated to give a molecularly rigid anion conductor. The electroosmotic drag coefficient (the number of water molecules transported per anion) is shown to increase with a lower degree of methylation. Net water transport (without charge flow) in a coupled anionic diode circuit is demonstrated based on combining low and high electroosmotic drag coefficient materials. The AC-electricity-driven net process offers water transport (or transport of other neutral species, e.g., drugs) with net zero ion transport and without driver electrode side reactions.

Abstract
Due to the threats posed by many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to human health in indoor spaces via air, the mass transfer characteristics of VOCs are of critical importance to the study of their mechanism and control. As a significant part of the mass transfer process, diffusion widely exists in emissions from floors (e.g., PVC floors) and in sorption in porous materials. Molecular simulation studies by can provide unparalleled insights into the molecular mechanisms of VOCs. We construct the detailed atomistic structures of PVC blend membranes to investigate the diffusion behavior of VOC molecules (n-hexane) in PVC by molecular dynamics (MD). The variation in the diffusion coefficient of n-hexane in PVC with respect to temperature is in line with Arrhenius' law. The effect of temperature on the diffusion mechanism was investigated from the perspectives of free volume, cavity distribution and polymer chain mobility. It was found that the relationships between the diffusion coefficients of n-hexane in the polymer and the inverse fractional free volume are exponential and agree well with the free volume theory. Hopefully, this study will offer quantitative insights into the mass transport phenomena of VOCs within polymeric materials.

Abstract
Membrane separation technology is applied in natural gas processing, while a high-performance membrane is highly in demand. This paper considers the bright future of functionalized graphene oxide (GO) membranes in acid gas removal from natural gas. By molecular simulations, the adsorption and diffusion behaviors of several unary gases (N2, CH4, CO2, H2S, and SO2) are explored in the 1,4-phenylenediamine-2-sulfonate (PDASA)-doped GO channels. Molecular insights show that the multilayer adsorption of acid gases evaluates well by the Redlich-Peterson model. A tiny amount of PDASA promotes the solubility coefficient of CO2 and H2S, respectively, up to 4.5 and 5.3 mmol·g-1·kPa-1, nearly 2.5 times higher than those of a pure GO membrane, which is due to the improved binding affinity, great isosteric heat, and hydrogen bonds, while N2 and CH4 only show single-layer adsorption with solubility coefficients lower than 0.002 mmol·g-1·kPa-1, and their weak adsorption is insusceptible to PDASA. Although acid gas diffusivity in GO channels is inhibited below 20 × 10-6 cm2·s-1 by PDASA, the solubility coefficient of acid gases is certainly high enough to ensure their separation efficiency. As a result, the permeabilities (P) of acid gases and their selectivities (α) over CH4 are simultaneously improved (PCO2 = 7265.5 Barrer, αCO2/CH4 = 95.7; P(H2S+CO2) = 42075.1 Barrer, αH2S/CH4 = 243.8), which outperforms most of the ever-reported membranes. This theoretical study gives a mechanistic understanding of acid gas separation and provides a unique design strategy to develop high-performance GO membranes toward efficient natural gas processing.

Abstract
![]()
Heterogeneous catalysis plays a pivotal role in the preparation
of value-added chemicals, and it works more efficiently when combined
with porous materials and supports. Because of that, a detailed assessment
of porosity and pore size is essential when evaluating the performance
of new heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we report the synthesis and
characterization of a series of novel microporous Tröger’s
base polymers and copolymers (TB-PIMs) with tunable pore size. The
basicity of TB sites is exploited to catalyze the Knoevenagel condensation
of benzaldehydes and malononitrile, and the dimension of the pores
can be systematically adjusted with an appropriate selection of monomers
and comonomers. The tunability of the pore size provides the enhanced
accessibility of the catalytic sites for substrates, which leads to
a great improvement in conversions, with the best results achieving
completion in only 20 min. In addition, it enables the use of large
benzaldehydes, which is prevented when using polymers with very small
pores, typical of conventional PIMs. The catalytic reaction is more
efficient than the corresponding homogeneous counterpart and is ultimately
optimized with the addition of a small amount of a solvent, which
facilitates the swelling of the pores and leads to a further improvement
in the performance and to a better carbon economy. Molecular dynamic
modeling of the copolymers’ structures is employed to describe
the swellability of flexible chains, helping the understanding of
the improved performance and demonstrating the great potential of
these novel materials.

Abstract
Porous materials are ubiquitous systems with a large variety of applications from catalysis to polymer science, from soil to life science, from separation to building materials. Many relevant systems of biological or synthetic origin exhibit a hierarchy, defined as spatial organization over several length scales. Their characterization is often elusive, since many techniques can only be employed to probe a single length scale, like the nanometric or the micrometric levels. Moreover, some multiscale systems lack tridimensional order, further reducing the possibilities of investigation. 129Xe nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) provides a unique and comprehensive description of multiscale porous materials by exploiting the adsorption and diffusion of xenon atoms. NMR parameters like chemical shift, relaxation times, and diffusion coefficient allow the probing of structures from a few angstroms to microns at the same time. Xenon can evaluate the size and shape of a variety of accessible volumes such as pores, layers, and tunnels, and the chemical nature of their surface. The dynamic nature of the probe provides a simultaneous exploration of different scales, informing on complex features such as the relative accessibility of different populations of pores. In this review, the basic principles of this technique will be presented along with some selected applications, focusing on its ability to characterize multiscale materials.

Abstract
PIM-1/holey graphene oxide (GO) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been prepared and their gas separation performance for CO2/CH4 mixtures assessed. Nanopores have been created in the basal plane of gas-impermeable GO by chemical etching reactions, and the resulting holey flakes have been further chemically functionalized, either with octadecylamine (ODA) or with PIM-1 moieties, to aid their dispersion in PIM-1. It is found that nanopores barely promote gas transport through the graphene-like nanofiller for fresh membranes (tested right after preparation); however, the prepared hybrid PIM-1/holey GO membranes exhibit higher CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity than the pure polymer membrane 150 days after preparation and 13 and 15% higher CO2 permeability for filler contents of 0.1% of octadecylamine-functionalized holey GO and 1% of (PIM-1)-functionalized holey GO, respectively. The most significant improvement is observed for the mitigation of physical aging, as MMMs using 10% of (PIM-1)-functionalized holey GO nanofillers are capable of maintaining up to 70% of their initial CO2 permeability after 150 days, whereas only 53% is kept for pure PIM-1 after the same period. The gas permeability of the nanofiller has been rationalized with the aid of the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars equation.

Abstract
The electrochromic (EC) polyamides (Ether-PentiTPA1 and Ether-PentiTPA8) from the electroactive pentiptycene-derived triphenylaminediamine monomers (PentiTPA1 and PentiTPA8) were designed and prepared via polycondensation. The incorporation of rigid and contorted H-shaped pentiptycene scaffolds could restrain polymer chains from close packing and further form intrinsic microporosity in the polymer matrix which could be confirmed by the measurements of WXRD, BET, and PALS. With the existence of intrinsic microporosity, the diffusion rate of counterions between the electroactive polymer film and electrolyte can be promoted during the electrochemical procedure. Therefore, the prepared polyamide Ether-PentiTPA1 exhibits enhanced EC behaviors, such as lower driving potential (1.11 V), smaller redox potential difference ΔE (0.24 V), and shorter switching response time (3.6/5.2 s for coloring/bleaching). Consequently, the formation of intrinsic microporosity can be a useful approach for the enhancement of EC response performance.

Abstract
Three poly(arylene ether ketone)s (PAEKs) with propylidene (C1, C2) and phtalide (C3) fragments, and one phtalide-containing polyarylene (C4), were synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed via 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The polymers have shown a high glass transition temperature (>155 °C), excellent film-forming properties, and a high free volume for this polymer type. The influence of various functional groups in the structure of PAEKs was evaluated. Expectedly, due to higher free volume the introduction of hexafluoropropylidene group to PAEK resulted in higher increase of gas permeability in comparison with propylidene group. The substitution of the fluorine-containing group on a rigid phtalide moiety (C3) significantly increases glass transition temperature of the polymer while gas permeation slightly decreases. Finally, the removal of two ether groups from PAEK structure (C4) leads to a rigid polymer chain that is characterized by highest free volume, gas permeability and diffusion coefficients among the PAEKs under investigation. Methods of modified atomic (MAC) and bond (BC) contributions were applied to estimate gas permeation and diffusion. Both techniques showed reasonable predicted parameters for three polymers while a significant underestimation of gas transport parameters was observed for C4. Gas solubility coefficients for PAEKs were forecasted by "Short polymer chain surface based pre-diction" (SPCSBP) method. Results for all three prediction methods were compared with the ex-perimental data obtained in this work. Predicted parameters were in good agreement with ex-perimental data for phtalide-containing polymers (C3 and C4) while for propylidene-containing poly(arylene ether ketone)s they were overestimated due to a possible influence of propylidene fragment on indices of oligomeric chains. MAC and BC methods demonstrated better prediction power than SPCSBP method.

Abstract
A detailed comparison of the gas permeability of four Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity containing Tröger's base (TB-PIMs) is reported. In particular, we present the results of a systematic study of the differences between four related polymers, highlighting the importance of the role of methyl groups positioned at the bridgehead of ethanoanthracene (EA) and triptycene (Trip) components. The PIMs show BET surface areas between 845-1028 m2 g-1 and complete solubility in chloroform, which allowed for the casting of robust films that provided excellent permselectivities for O2/N2, CO2/N2, CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 gas pairs so that some data surpass the 2008 Robeson upper bounds. Their interesting gas transport properties were mostly ascribed to a combination of high permeability and very strong size-selectivity of the polymers. Time lag measurements and determination of the gas diffusion coefficient of all polymers revealed that physical ageing strongly increased the size-selectivity, making them suitable for the preparation of thin film composite membranes.

Abstract
Membranes with fast and selective ion transport are widely used for water purification and devices for energy conversion and storage including fuel cells, redox flow batteries and electrochemical reactors. However, it remains challenging to design cost-effective, easily processed ion-conductive membranes with well-defined pore architectures. Here, we report a new approach to designing membranes with narrow molecular-sized channels and hydrophilic functionality that enable fast transport of salt ions and high size-exclusion selectivity towards small organic molecules. These membranes, based on polymers of intrinsic microporosity containing Tröger's base or amidoxime groups, demonstrate that exquisite control over subnanometre pore structure, the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups and thickness control all play important roles in achieving fast ion transport combined with high molecular selectivity. These membranes enable aqueous organic flow batteries with high energy efficiency and high capacity retention, suggesting their utility for a variety of energy-related devices and water purification processes.

Abstract
Using molecular dynamics, a comparative study was performed of two pairs of glassy polymers, low permeability polyetherimides (PEIs) and highly permeable Si-containing polytricyclononenes. All calculations were made with 32 independent models for each polymer. In both cases, the accessible free volume (AFV) increases with decreasing probe size. However, for a zero-size probe, the curves for both types of polymers cross the ordinate in the vicinity of 40%. The size distribution of free volume in PEI and highly permeable polymers differ significantly. In the former case, they are represented by relatively narrow peaks, with the maxima in the range of 0.5–1.0 Å for all the probes from H2 to Xe. In the case of highly permeable Si-containing polymers, much broader peaks are observed to extend up to 7–8 Å for all the gaseous probes. The obtained size distributions of free volume and accessible volume explain the differences in the selectivity of the studied polymers. The surface area of AFV is found for PEIs using Delaunay tessellation. Its analysis and the chemical nature of the groups that form the surface of free volume elements are presented and discussed.

Abstract
In an effort to reduce the experimental tests required to characterize the mixed-gas solubility and solubility-selectivity of materials for membrane separation processes, there is a need for reliable models which involve a minimum number of adjustable parameters. In this work, the ability of the Dual Mode Sorption (DMS) model to represent the sorption of CO2/CH4 mixtures in three high free volume glassy polymers, poly(trimethylsilyl propyne) (PTMSP), the first reported polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) and tetrazole-modified PIM-1 (TZ-PIM), was tested. The sorption of gas mixtures in these materials suitable for CO2 separation has been characterized experimentally in previous works, which showed that these systems exhibit rather marked deviations from the ideal pure-gas behavior, especially due to competitive effects. The accuracy of the DMS model in representing the non-idealities that arise during mixed-gas sorption was assessed in a wide range of temperatures, pressures and compositions, by comparing with the experimental results available. Using the parameters obtained from the best fit of pure-gas sorption isotherms, the agreement between the mixed-gas calculations and the experimental data varied greatly in the different cases inspected, especially in the case of CH4 absorbed in mixed-gas conditions. A sensitivity analysis revealed that pure-gas data can be represented with the same accuracy by several different parameter sets, which, however, yield markedly different mixed-gas predictions, that, in some cases, agree with the experimental data only qualitatively. However, the multicomponent calculations with the DMS model yield more reliable results than the use of pure-gas data in the estimation of the solubility-selectivity of the material.

Abstract
A series of new semifluorinated polyimide (PI) films with phosphaphenanthrene skeleton were prepared by thermal imidization of poly(amic acid)s derived from a diamine monomer: 1,1-bis[2'-trifluoromethyl-4'-(4″-aminophenyl)phenoxy]-1-(6-oxido-6H-dibenz⟨c,e⟩⟨1,2⟩oxaphosphorin-6-yl)ethane on reaction with four structurally different aromatic dianhydrides. The chemical structures of the polymers were established by Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy techniques. The polymers showed a good combination of thermal and mechanical properties (T d10 up to 416 °C under synthetic air and tensile strength up to 91 MPa), low dielectric constant (2.10-2.55 at 1 MHz), and T g values as high as 261 °C. Gas permeabilities of these films were investigated for four different gases CO2, O2, N2, and CH4. The PI films showed high gas permeability (P CO2 up to 175 and P O2 up to 64 barrer) with high permselectivity (P CO2 /P CH4 up to 51 and P O2 /P N2 up to 7.1), and the values are better than those of many other similar polymers reported earlier. For the O2/N2 gas pair, the PIs (PI A) surpassed the present upper boundary limit drawn by Robeson. A detailed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study has been conducted to understand better the gas-transport properties. The effect of phosphaphenanthrene skeleton, its spatial arrangement, and size distribution function of the free volume were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the results are correlated with the experimental data.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for transient and steady state mixed gas permeation measurements, using a quadrupole residual gas analyser for the on-line determination of the permeate composition. The on-line analysis provides sufficiently quick response times to follow even fast transient phenomena, enabling the unique determination of the diffusion coefficient of the individual gases in a gas mixture. Following earlier work, the method is further optimised for higher gas pressures, using a thin film composite and a thick dense styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer membrane. Finally, the method is used to calculate the CO₂/CH₄ mixed gas diffusion coefficients of the spirobisfluorene-based polymer of intrinsic microporosity, PIM-SBF-1. It is shown that the modest pressure dependence of the PIM-SBF-1 permeability can be ascribed to a much stronger pressure dependence of the diffusion coefficient, which partially compensates the decreasing solubility of CO₂ with increasing pressure, typical for the strong sorption behaviour in PIMs. The characteristics of the instrument are discussed and suggestions are given for even more versatile measurements under stepwise increasing pressure conditions. This is the first report on mixed gas diffusion coefficients at different pressures in a polymer of intrinsic microporosity.
