Functionalisation of MUF-15 enhances CO/CH selectivity in mixed-matrix membranes

MUF-15 (MUF = Massey University Framework) is a metal-organic framework with pores that can be tuned by ligand functionalisation. Crystallites of MUF-15 and derivatives were blended with the organic polymer 6FDA-DAM to produce mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). At a loading of 30 wt%, membranes with MUF...

Summary:MUF-15 (MUF = Massey University Framework) is a metal-organic framework with pores that can be tuned by ligand functionalisation. Crystallites of MUF-15 and derivatives were blended with the organic polymer 6FDA-DAM to produce mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). At a loading of 30 wt%, membranes with MUF-15-F, MUF-15 with an appended fluoro group, exhibited a CO 2 permeability of 1300 Barrer and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 37.1. These values surpass membranes with the parent MUF-15 and exceed the Robeson upper bound. MUF-15 and its isoreticular analogues were blended with 6FDA-DAM to produce mixed-matrix membranes with exceptional CO 2 /CH 4 separation performance.
