A High-Performance Gas-Separation Membrane Containing Submicrometer-Sized Metal-Organic Framework Crystals

Well matched: Submicrometer‐sized metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals (ZIF‐90) were synthesized by a nonsolvent‐induced crystallization technique and incorporated in mixed‐matrix gas‐separation membranes.

Description
Summary:	Well matched: Submicrometer‐sized metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals (ZIF‐90) were synthesized by a nonsolvent‐induced crystallization technique and incorporated in mixed‐matrix gas‐separation membranes. ZIF‐90/6FDA‐DAM membranes (empty pink circle; beyond the upper bound for polymer membranes) show unprecedented high performance for CO2/CH4 separation by a MOF‐based membrane. The key is the combination of the highly selective MOF and a highly permeable polymer.
