Considerable attention has been given to polymeric membranes either containing, or built from, ionic liquids (ILs) in gas separation processes due to their selective separation of CO2 molecules.

AbstractHigh-performance membranes exceeding the conventional permeability-selectivity upper bound are attractive for advanced gas separations. In the context microporous polymers have gained increasing attention owing to their exceptional permeability, which, however, demonstrate a moderate selectivity unfavorable for separating similarly sized gas mixtures. Here we report an approach to designing polymeric molecular sieve membranes via multi-covalent-crosslinking of blended bromomethyl polymer of intrinsic microporosity and Tröger’s base, enabling simultaneously high permeability and selectivity. Ultra-selective gas separation is achieved via adjusting reaction temperature, reaction time and the oxygen concentration with occurrences of polymer chain scission, rearrangement and thermal oxidative crosslinking reaction. Upon a thermal treatment at 300 °C for 5 h, membranes exhibit an O2/N2, CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 selectivity as high as 11.1, 154.5 and 813.6, respectively, transcending the state-of-art upper bounds. The design strategy represents a generalizable approach to creating molecular-sieving polymer membranes with enormous potentials for high-performance separation processes.

AbstractA new family of six ionenes containing aromatic amide linkages has been synthesized from ready available starting materials at scales up to ∼50 g. These ionene-polyamides are all constitutional isomers and vary only in the regiochemistry of the amide linkages (para, meta) and xylyl linkages (ortho, meta, para) which are present in the polymer backbone. This paper details the synthesis of these ionenes and associated characterizations. Ionene-polyamides exhibit relatively low melting points (∼150 oC) allowing them to be readily processed into films and other objects. These ionene-polyamide materials are being developed for further study as polymer membranes for the separations of gases such as CO2, N2, CH4 and H2.

Abstract The unique magnetic, electronic and optical features derived from their unpaired electrons have made radical polymers an attractive material platform for various applications. Here, we report solution-processable radical polymer membranes with multi-level porosities and study the impact of free radicals on important membrane separation processes including solar vapor generation, hydrogen separation and CO2 capture. The radical polymer is a supreme light absorber over the full solar irradiation range with sufficient water transport channels, leading to a highly efficient solar evaporation membrane. In addition, the radical polymer with micropores and adjustable functional groups are broad-spectrum gas separation membranes for both hydrogen separation and CO2 capture. First principle calculations indicate that the conjugated polymeric network bearing radicals is more chemically reactive with CO2, compared with H2, N2 and CH4. This is evidenced by a high CO2 permeability in gas separation membranes made of the conjugated radical polymer.
