Abstract
Development of membrane with improved carbon dioxide (CO2) gas separation capability is a significant challenge. However, the fabrication of membrane that efficiently separate and purification CO2-containing gases has been the focus of global attention. Cellulose Acetate (CA) has robust reinforcing characteristics when incorporated within a suitable polymer matrix. This work focus on the synthesis of novel mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by introducing Graphene-grafted bimetallic MOFs in Cellulose Acetate polymer. The graphene-grafted bimetallic MOF (GG-BM MOFs) was prepared by a hydrothermal technique. Whereas, the solution casting approach used to fabricate membranes. The 1-5 wt% of GG-BM MOFs incorporated into the CA matrix. The mechanical, hydrophilicity and adsorption characteristics of fabricated MMMs were investigated. The crystallinity of MMM enhanced after the addition of GG-BM MOFs. In addition, the mechanical characteristics of MMMs were improved with the incorporation of GG-BM MOFs inside the polymer matrix. Maximum stress and strain was obtained for 2 wt% MMM (36.4 N/mm2 and 11% respectively). The CO2 adsorption performance was evaluated at 10 bar and 45 °C. The FTIR results represent insignificant bond shifting with the addition GG-BM MOFs at these conditions. The overall results showed that MMMs containing 2 wt% GG-BM MOFs have good adsorption properties for CO2 i.e 3.15 wt% of CO2. The MMMs have shown a decrease in the mechanical properties and CO2 adsorption at the higher GG-BM MOFs loading due to the presence of agglomeration which was confirmed through SEM. Thus, the addition of GG-BM MOFs in the CA matrix positively altered the physicochemical characteristics of the resulting MMMs, which could assist them in achieving remarkable CO2 adsorption at 2 wt%.

Abstract
Recently, pillar-layered MOF materials have attracted much attention and shown great potential in separation application due to their fine pore size/channel and pore surface chemistry tunability and designability. In this work, we reported an effective and universal synthesis strategy for preparing ultra-microporous Ni-based pillar-layered MOF [Ni2(L-asp)2(bpy)] (Ni-LAB) and [Ni2(L-asp)2(pz)] (Ni-LAP) (L-asp = L-aspartic acid, bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, pz = pyrazine) membranes on a porous α-Al2O3 substrate with high performance and good stability by secondary growth. Through this strategy, the seed size reduction and screening engineering (SRSE) is proposed to obtain uniform sub-micron size MOF seeds by high-energy ball milling-combined solvent deposition. This strategy not only effectively addresses the issue of obtaining the uniform small seeds being significant for secondary growth but also provides an approach for the preparation of Ni-based pillar-layered MOF membranes where the freedom of synthesizing small crystals is lacking. Based on reticular chemistry, the pore size of Ni-LAB was narrowed by making use of shorter pillar ligands of pz instead of the longer pillar ligand of bpy. The prepared ultra-microporous Ni-LAP membranes exhibited a high H2/CO2 separation factor of 40.4 with H2 permeance of 9.69 × 10-8 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 under ambient conditions and good mechanical and thermal stability. The superiority of the tunable pore structure and the remarkable stability of these MOF materials showed great potential for industrial H2 purification. More importantly, our synthesis strategy demonstrated the generality for preparation of MOF membranes, enabling the regulation of membrane pore size and surface functional groups by reticular chemistry.

Abstract
Here, the fabrication of a defect-free membrane that is based on a zeolite-like metal-organic framework (ZMOF) with the underlying ana topology is reported. The unique ana-ZMOF structure provides high degree of pore connectivity, which is reflected by the fast transport of gases. Prominently, it offers an optimum pore-aperture size, affording notable sieving selectivity for butane/isobutane, and optimal pore energetics for reverse CO2 /H2 separation. This emphasize the potential for the application of pure MOF membranes, paving the way to more sustainability of energy resources.

Abstract
To combat global warming, as an energy-saving technology, membrane separation can be applied to capture CO2 from flue gas. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with characteristics like high porosity have great potential as membrane materials for gas mixture separation. In this work, through a combination of grand canonical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, the permeability of three gases (CO2, N2, and O2) was calculated and estimated in 6013 computation–ready experimental MOF membranes (CoRE–MOFMs). Then, the relationship between structural descriptors and permeance performance, and the importance of available permeance area to permeance performance of gas molecules with smaller kinetic diameters were found by univariate analysis. Furthermore, comparing the prediction accuracy of seven classification machine learning algorithms, XGBoost was selected to analyze the order of importance of six structural descriptors to permeance performance, through which the conclusion of the univariate analysis was demonstrated one more time. Finally, seven promising CoRE-MOFMs were selected, and their structural characteristics were analyzed. This work provides explicit directions and powerful guidelines to experimenters to accelerate the research on membrane separation for the purification of flue gas.

Abstract
A novel gas separation approach is proposed in this work by combining an amine-based solid adsorbent with a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) membrane. This was achieved by incorporating the amine-based solid adsorbent during the fabrication of the ZIF-8 membrane on a macroporous substrate. An amine-based solid adsorbent was prepared using porous ZIF-8-3-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane (IPTMS) and N-[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]diethylenetriamine (3N-APS) amine compounds. The as-prepared porous amine-based solid adsorbent (denoted as ZIF-8-IPTMS-3N-APS) possessed excellent adsorptive CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 separation performances. As the adsorbent needs to be regenerated, this could indicate that the CO2 adsorption separation process cannot be continuously operated. In this work, an amine-based solid adsorbent was applied during the preparation of the ZIF-8 membranes owing to the following reasons: (i) gas separation by the membrane can be operated continuously; (ii) the amino group provides a heterogeneous nucleation site for ZIF-8 to grow; and (iii) the reparation of surface defects on the macroporous substrate can be performed prior to the growth of the ZIF-8 membrane. Herein, the ZIF-8 membrane was successfully fabricated, and it possessed excellent CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, and H2/CH4 separation performances. The 0.6 μm ultrathin ZIF-8 membrane demonstrated a high CO2 permeance of 4.75 × 10-6 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 at 35 °C and 0.1 MPa, and ideal CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities of 4.67 and 6.02, respectively. Furthermore, at 35 °C and 0.1 MPa, the ideal H2/CH4 selectivity of the ZIF-8 membrane reached 31.2, and a significantly high H2 permeance of 2.45 × 10-5 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1.

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.
