CO₂ separations from cabin air and the atmospheric air are challenged by the very low partial pressures of CO₂. In this study, a facilitated transport membrane (FTM) is developed to separate CO₂ from air using functionalized ionic liquid (IL) and poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) carriers. A highly permeable bicontinuous structured poly(ethersulfone)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (bPES/PET) substrate is used to support the PIL–IL impregnated graphene oxide thin film. The CO₂ separation performance was tested under a mixture feed of CO₂/N₂/O₂/H₂O. Under 410 ppm of CO₂ at 1 atm feed gas, CO₂ permanence of 3923 GPU, and CO₂/N₂ and CO₂/O₂ selectivities of 1200 and 300, respectively, are achieved with helium sweeping on the permeate side. For increased transmembrane pressure (>0 atm), a thicker PIL–IL/GO layer was shown to provide mechanical strength and prevent leaching of the mobile carrier. CO₂ binding to the carriers, ion diffusivities, and the glass transition temperature of the PIL–IL gels were examined to determine the membrane composition and rationalize the superior separation performance obtained. This report represents the first FTM study with PIL–IL carriers for CO₂ separation from air.
