Simple Fabrication Method for Mixed Matrix Membranes with in Situ MOF Growth for Gas Separation
Abstract
Metal organic framework (MOF)/polymer composite membranes are of interest for gas separations, as they often have performance that exceeds the neat polymer. However, traditional composite membranes, known as mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), can have complex and time-consuming preparation procedures. The MOF and polymer are traditionally prepared separately and require priming and mixing to ensure uniform distribution of particles and compatibility of the polymer–particle interface. In this study, we reduce the number of steps using an in situ MOF growth strategy. Herein, MMMs are prepared by growing MOF (UiO-66) in situ within a Matrimid polymer matrix while simultaneously curing the matrix. The gas separation performance for MMMs, prepared using this approach, was evaluated for the CO2/N2 separation and compared with MMMs made using the traditional postsynthesis mixing. It was found that MMMs prepared using both the in situ MOF growth strategy and by traditional postsynthesis mixing are equivalent in performance. Finally, using the in situ MOF growth allows for a simpler, faster, and potentially more economical fabrication alternative for MMMs.
