In this work, PIM-1 thin film composite membranes supported on PAN were developed. The influence of PIM-1 concentration and nature of solvent stabilizer on the structure and gas separation properties of TFC membranes were studied. It was shown that amylene stabilized chloroform as PIM-1 solvent allows membranes to be obtained with a uniform selective layer in the whole range of concentrations used, and the ethanol stabilized chloroform provides a uniform layer at 2 and 4 wt % PIM-1 concentration. The best CO2/N2 selectivities were 35,9 and 39,5 for 4 % wt PIM-1 solution in ethanol and amylene stabilized chloroform, respectively.

Studies of blends of topologically distinct samples of the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 provide, for the CO2/N2 gas pair, insight into the optimum loop topology required for high selectivity and permeance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes.

Thin film composite (TFC) membranes have attracted increasing interest to meet the demands of industrial gas separation. However, the development of high performance TFC membranes within their current configuration faces two key challenges: (i) the thickness-dependent gas permeability of polymeric materials (mainly polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)) and (ii) the geometric restriction effect due to the limited pore accessibility of porous substrates. Here we demonstrate for the first time that the incorporation of trace (~1.8 wt%) amounts of amorphous metal-organic framework (aMOF) nanosheets into the gutter layer of TFC assemblies can simultaneously address these two limitations, with experimental evidence revealing the creation of rapid gas diffusion pathways along horizontal direction. Leveraging this strategy, we successfully fabricated a novel TFC membrane, consisting of a PDMS/aMOF gutter and an ultrathin (~54 nm) poly(ethylene glycol) top selective layer<i> via</i> surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The complete TFC membrane exhibits excellent processability and the highest CO<sub>2</sub> permeance (1,990 GPU with a CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> ideal selectivity of 39) yet observed for a TFC membrane employing a PDMS gutter layer. This study reveals an avenue for the design and fabrication of a new TFC membrane system with unprecedented gas separation performance.
