AbstractPoly(vinylalcohol)/poly(ethyleneglycol)/poly(ethyleneimine) blend membranes were prepared by solution casting followed by solvent evaporation. The chemical structure of the prepared membranes was analyzed by FTIR and DSC. The sorption behavior as well as the permeabilities of the membranes for pure CO2 and N2 were investigated. The results show that the PVA/PEI/PEG membranes possess a higher permeability of CO2 and a lower permeability of N2. The membrane displays a CO2 permeability of 27 Barrer, and a N2 permeability of 3 Barrer at 25°C and 1 bar. CO2 sorption behavior of the composite membrane, which can be classified as a dual-mode sorption model, and N2 sorption behavior of the copolymeric membrane is in agreement with the Fickian diffusion model.

Spherical ordered mesoporous silica particles with radially oriented mesopores were successfully prepared by using non-ionic amphiphilic di-block co-polymers CnH2n+1-(EO)x-OH as template and tetraorthosilicate (TEOS) as silica precursor. The synthesized mesoporous silica materials were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and SEM techniques. CO2 adsorption at 0 °C was evaluated by a volumetric method, and the CO2 sorption behavior was described by applying both Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Results indicate a high adsorption capacity of CO2 (5-9 mmol/g), depending essentially on the porous texture of the materials. An adsorption kinetic model was proposed to describe the adsorption of CO2 over template-free mesoporous siliceous materials. A good agreement with experimental data was found.

Four water insoluble room-temperature protic ionic liquids (PILs) based on the N-alkylimidazolium cation with the alkyl chain length from 1 to 4 and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were synthesized and their chemical structure was confirmed by the 1H NMR and 19F NMR analysis. PILs were revealed to be thermally stable up to 360 and 400 °C. At the same time, the proton conductivity of PILs was found to be dependent mostly on the temperature and, to a less extent, on the type of the cation, i.e., the increase of the conductivity from ~3 × 10−4 S/cm at 25 °C to 2 × 10−2 S/cm at 150 °C was observed. The water vapour sorption capacity of PILs was evaluated as a function of relative humidity and the influence of the alkyl chain length on the phase behaviour in the PIL-water system was discussed. The composite polyimide/PILs membranes were prepared by the PIL immobilization in the porous polymer (Matrimid® 5218) film. The composite membranes showed a high level of proton conductivity (~10−3 S/cm) at elevated temperatures (up to 160 °C). The obtained results reveal that the elaborated composite polyimide/PIL membranes are promising candidates for the application as proton exchange membrane at middle and high temperatures.
