An effective cross-linking technique allows a viscous, highly gas permeable hydrophilic polyphosphazene to be cast as solid membrane films. By judicious blending with other polyphosphazenes to improve mechanical properties, a membrane exhibiting the highest CO2 permeability (610 barrer) combined with good CO2/N2 selectivity (35) among polyphosphazenes is described here. The material demonstrates performance stability after 500 hours of exposure to a coal-fired power plant flue gas, making it attractive for use in carbon capture applications. Its CO2/N2 selectivity under conditions up to full humidity is also stable, and although the gas permeability does decline, the performance is fully recovered upon drying. The high molecular weight of these heteropolymers also allows them to be cast as a thin selective layer on an asymmetric porous membrane, yielding CO2 permeance of 1200 GPU, CO2/N2 pure gas selectivity of 31, which does not decline over 2000 hours due to physical aging. In addition to gas separation membranes, this cross-linked polyphosphazene can potentially be extended to other applications such as drug delivery or proton exchange membranes which take advantage of the polyphosphazene’s versatile chemistry.
