In this work, synthesis of ZIF-8 membranes via in situ and secondary seeded growth methods was conducted at the preliminary stage. Synthesis durations were varied at 4 h and 36 h using in situ growth method. For secondary growth, the seeding procedure was applied through rubbing and dip-coating of the seeds on the support. The resultant membranes were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Subsequently, the defects of the resultant membranes were determined using nitrogen gas permeation test. The results showed that, ZIF-8 membrane synthesized using in situ growth method for 4 h exhibited highest crystallinity and lower defects with the nitrogen gas permeance of 5.09 × 10-7 mol/m2·s·Pa. Besides, in situ growth method has shown its potential in synthesizing high quality ZIF-8 membrane through an easy and faster route.

In this study, seeding of DD3R particles as an important step in the synthesis of DD3R membrane with secondary growth method was investigated. Dip-coating method is used for seeding of DD3R particles on the modified surface of α-alumina supports. 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt% aqueous suspensions of the DD3R seeds were prepared and each support was coated three times with dipping time of 240 s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used for the investigation of the quality of seed layer formed on the support. It is shown that the uniform layer of seeds was formed with 0.2 wt% seed suspension concentration. DD3R zeolite membrane was synthesized via hydrothermal method on the support seeded with 0.2 wt% seed suspension concentration. The X-ray diffraction and SEM analysis confirmed the synthesis of uniform DD3R zeolite membrane layer on the support which can be due to the uniform distribution of the DD3R seeds. Single gas permeation tests of N2, CO2 and CH4 were carried out, so that good perm-selectivity for gas mixtures was observed.

Nanoporous silica zeolite thin films are promising candidates for future generation low-dielectric constant (low-k) materials. During the integration with metal interconnects, residual stresses resulting from the packaging processes may cause the low-k thin films to fracture or delaminate from the substrates. To achieve high-quality low-k zeolite thin films, it is important to carefully evaluate their adhesion performance. In this paper, a previously reported laser spallation technique is modified to investigate the interfacial adhesion of zeolite thin film-Si substrate interfaces fabricated using three different methods: spin-on, seeded growth, and in situ growth. The experimental results reported here show that seeded growth generates films with the highest measured adhesion strength (801 ± 68 MPa), followed by the in situ growth (324 ± 17 MPa), then by the spin-on (111 ± 29 MPa). The influence of the deposition method on film–substrate adhesion is discussed. This is the first time that the interfacial strength of zeolite thin films-Si substrates has been quantitatively evaluated. This paper is of great significance for the future applications of low-k zeolite thin film materials.

In this study, a calcium–aluminum-layered double hydroxide (CaAl-LDH) thin film was grown on an AA6082 aluminum alloy, for the very first time, by using a facile in situ growth method in an effort to investigate the CaAl-LDH structural geometry and corresponding corrosion resistance properties.

V2O5-WO3/TiO2 as a commercial selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst usually used at middle-high temperatures was modified by loading of MnOx for the purpose of enhancing its performance at lower temperatures. Manganese oxides were loaded onto V-W/Ti monolith by the methods of impregnation (I), precipitation (P), and in-situ growth (S), respectively. SCR activity of each modified catalyst was investigated at temperatures in the range of 100–340 °C. Catalysts were characterized by specific surface area and pore size determination (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), etc. Results show that the loading of MnOx remarkably enhanced the SCR activity at a temperature lower than 280 °C. The catalyst prepared by the in-situ growth method was found to be most active for SCR.

For the development of light, flexible, and wearable electronic devices, it is crucial to develop energy storage components combining high capacity and flexibility. Herein, an all-solid-state supercapacitor is prepared through an in situ growth method. The electrode contains polyaniline deposited on a carbon nanotube and a poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) film. The hybrid electrode exhibits excellent mechanical and electrochemical performance. The optimized few-layer polyaniline wrapping layer provides a conductive network that effectively enhances the cycling stability, as 66.4% of the starting capacitance is maintained after 3000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, the polyaniline (PANI)-50 displays the highest areal energy density of 83.6 mWh·cm−2, with an areal power density of 1000 mW·cm−2, and a high areal capacity of 620 mF cm−2. The assembled device delivers a high areal capacity (192.3 mF·cm−2) at the current density of 0.1 mA·cm−2, a high areal energy (26.7 mWh·cm−2) at the power density of 100 mW·cm−2, and shows no significant decrease in the performance with a bending angle of 180°. This unique flexible supercapacitor thus exhibits great potential for wearable electronics.
