Article Abstract
For the first time, a dual-ligand MOF, Al-Fum/Asp, was synthesized by partially replacing fumarate ligands in the Al-Fum framework with l-aspartic acid and incorporated into PIM-1 to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes. Amino groups anchored on Al-Fum/Asp enhance CO-adsorption, enabling the membrane to achieve CO/N separation performance beyond the 2019 Robeson upper bound.

In this study, a silicon carbide (SiC) mixed-matrix membrane for oil-water separation was successfully fabricated within the nanofiltration range. Silicon carbide was synthesized using rice husk ash (RHA), an agricultural waste material, combined with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and subsequently incorporated into a mixed matrix membrane for oil-water separation. Polysulfone (PSF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were employed as polymer supports for fabricating the SiC-based mixed matrix membrane, which was tested in a dead-end filtration setup.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) capable of breaking the permeability-selectivity trade-off suffer from the inefficient and disconnected bulky transport channels as well as inferior interfacial compatibility between nanomaterials and polymers. Herein, we propose an original photothermal-triggered in-situ gelation approach to elaborate an original class of MMMs, termed nanofiber-interwoven gel membranes (NIGMs) that feature tunable 3D-interconnected ultrafast transport channels and highly-selective CO-philic gel for boosting CO separation performance. The key design of NIGMs lies in leveraging dual functions of CNT-interwoven skeleton: (1) serving as a photothermal confined reactor that rapidly triggers in-situ gelation of highly-selective CO-philic gel without phase separation-induced interfacial defects to construct defect-free and thickness-controllable NIGMs; (2) functioning as a 3D-interconnected continuous skeleton for providing ultrafast CO transport channels.

Industrial separation processes account for 10-15% of global energy consumption. Membrane-based processes are less energy-intensive than traditional gas separation technologies; however, enhanced material separation performance and stability for numerous gas mixtures are needed for widespread industrial adoption. This work presents a generalizable strategy for preparing mixed-matrix gas separation membranes exceeding the performance upper bounds of existing polymer membranes for a wide variety of industrial gases.

Cu-BTC (HKUST-1) metal-organic framework (MOF) is widely recognized for its carbon capture capability due to its unsaturated copper sites, high surface area, and well-defined porous structure. This study developed mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) using cellulose triacetate (CTA), incorporating bimetallic Ni-Cu-BTC MOFs for CO/CH separation, and benchmarked them against membranes fabricated with monometallic Cu-BTC. CTA was selected for its biodegradability, membrane-forming properties, and cost-effectiveness.
