In this study, we mixed the zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7) with poly(ether-b-amide)® 2533 (Pebax-2533) and used it as a selective layer for a composite membrane. We prepared the composite membrane’s substrate using polysulfone (PSf), adjusted its pore size using polyethylene glycol (PEG), and applied polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to the gutter layer and the coating layer. Then, we investigated the membrane’s properties of gases by penetrating a single gas (N2, CO2) into the membrane. We identified the peaks and geometry of ZIF-7 to determine if it had been successfully synthesized. We confirmed that ZIF-7 had a BET surface area of 303 m2/g, a significantly high Langmuir surface area of 511 m2/g, and a high CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity of approximately 50. Considering the gas permeation, with ZIF-7 mixed into Pebax-2533, N2 permeation decreased from 2.68 GPU in a pure membrane to 0.43 GPU in the membrane with ZIF-7 25 wt%. CO2 permeation increased from 18.43 GPU in the pure membrane to 26.22 GPU in the ZIF-7 35 wt%. The CO2/N2 ideal selectivity increased from 6.88 in the pure membrane to 50.43 in the ZIF-7 25 wt%. Among the membranes, Pebax-2533/ZIF-7 25 wt% showed the highest permeation properties and the characteristics of CO2-friendly ZIF-7.

Abstract Due to the high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8, a secondary crystallization method was used to prepare a particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8. According to the results from a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3 was successfully loaded with ZIF-8, and the BET surface area (1,433 m2/g) of ZIF-8 was over ten times that of γ-Al2O3. The key operation parameters of cell voltage, pH, initial RhB concentration and electrolyte concentration were all optimized. The observed rate constant (kobs) of the pseudo-first-order kinetic model for the electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8 (15.2 × 10−2 min−1) was over five times higher than that of the system with the traditional particle electrode of γ-Al2O3 (2.6 × 10−2 min−1). The loading of ZIF-8 on the surface of γ-Al2O3 played an important role in improving electrocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), and the RhB removal efficiency of the three-dimensional (3D) electrocatalytic system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8 was 93.5% in 15 min, compared with 27.5% in 15 min for the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3. The RhB removal efficiency was kept over 85% after five cycles of reuse for the 3D electrocatalytic system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8.

Radiation effects on polyimide (PI) membranes were studied with different irradiation doses by60Co. The PI membrane were synthesized from 2,2-bis (3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane (Bis-AP-AF) with 3,3',4,4'-Benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). The single gas permeability of He, H2, CO2, O2, N2and CH4were measured and compared in order to determine the effect of the the irradiation doses on the gas separation properties. The results showed that the ideal selectivity of He/CH4, H2/CH4, CO2/CH4and H2/N2of the irradiation PI membrane can be significantly improved by irradiation of60Co source. The optimum irradiation doses were 50 kGy. The highest ideal selectivity of He/CH4, H2/CH4, CO2/CH4and H2/N2is 3635.86, 2287.57, 282.00 and 205.29, respectively. In other word, the ideal selectivity of He/CH4, H2/CH4, CO2/CH4and H2/N2of the irradiation PI membrane with 50 kGy irradiation doses is 2.27, 2.11, 1.89 and 1.08 times higher than that of the PI membranes without irradiation.

A triptycene-based diamine, 1,3,6,8-tetramethyl-2,7-diamino-triptycene (TMDAT), was used for the synthesis of a novel solution-processable polyamide obtained via polycondensation reaction with 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid) (6FBBA). Molecular simulations confirmed that the tetrasubstitution with ortho-methyl groups in the triptycene building block reduced rotations around the C–N bond of the amide group leading to enhanced fractional free volume. Based on N2 sorption at 77 K, 6FBBA-TMDAT revealed microporosity with a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 396 m2 g−1; to date, this is the highest value reported for a linear polyamide. The aged 6FBBA-TMDAT sample showed moderate pure-gas permeabilities (e.g., 198 barrer for H2, ~109 for CO2, and ~25 for O2) and permselectivities (e.g., αH2/CH4 of ~50) that position this polyamide close to the 2008 H2/CH4 and H2/N2 upper bounds. CO2–CH4 mixed-gas permeability experiments at 35 °C demonstrated poor plasticization resistance; mixed-gas permselectivity negatively deviated from the pure-gas values likely, due to the enhancement of CH4 diffusion induced by mixing effects.

Modification of the gas permeation properties of ZIF-8 membranes using electron beam irradiation is reported. 3.8 and 3.2 fold enhancements in ideal selectivity for CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 can be achieved...


The ZIF-67 nanocrystal was successfully synthesized in ethanol as solvent by using ultrasound with shorter synthesis time as compared to solvo-thermal method. The synthesized ZIF-67 crystals were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption and TGA/DTA. It was found that the ZIF-67 crystals were highly stable up to 350°C (in air), and have shown high crystallinity with a uniform crystallite size of around 50 nm (TEM), BET surface area of 1363 m2/g and Langmuir surface area of 1912 m2/g. Methylene blue absorption and photocatalysis of ZIF-67 nano-material were investigated. The results indicated the material is capable to promote photocatalysis to treat methylene blue, furthermore, the effect was enhanced with the addition of H2O2
