Multi-permselective membranes with diffusivity-selectivity, solubility-selectivity, and reactivity-selectivity for CO(2) separation are prepared by interfacial polymerization. The membranes are able to efficiently separate CO(2) from various light gases (H(2) , CH(4) and N(2) ) due to the optimized membrane structure and the comprehensive utilization of distinctions between CO(2) and light gases in size, condensability, and reactivity.

The scope of this work was to develop a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane for the separation of CO/CO mixtures, which are relevant for many processes of gas processing and gasification of carbon-based feedstock. Special attention was given to the development of highly permeable porous polysulfone (PSF) supports (more than 26,000 GPU for CO) since both the selective and support layers contribute significantly to the overall performance of the TFC membrane. The PSF porous support is widely used in commercial and lab-scale TFC membranes, and its porous structure and other exploitation parameters are set during the non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) process.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a category of crystalline materials formed by the combination of metal ions or clusters with organic linkers, which have emerged as a prominent research focus in the field of photocatalysis. Owing to their distinctive characteristics, including structural diversity and configurations, significant porosity, and an extensive specific surface area, they provide a flexible foundation for various potential applications in photocatalysis. In recent years, researchers have tackled many issues in the MOF-based photocatalytic yield.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs) represent a promising clean energy solution. In the case of SOFCs, they offer efficiency and minimal to zero CO emissions when used to convert chemical energy into electricity. When SOFC systems are operated in regenerative mode for water electrolysis, the SOFCs become solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs).

Precise sub-Ångstrom-level porosity engineering, which is appealing in gas separations, has been demonstrated in solid carbon, polymer, and framework materials but rarely achieved in the liquid phase. In this work, a gas molecular sieving effect in the liquid phase at sub-5 Ångstrom scale is created via sophisticated porosity tuning in calixarene-derived porous liquids (PLs). Type II PLs are constructed via supramolecular complexation between the sodium salts of calixarene derivatives and crown ether solvents.
