We report the fabrication of the first continuous zeolite-like metal-organic framework (ZMOF) thin-film membrane. A pure phase sod-ZMOF, sodalite topology, membrane was grown and supported on a porous alumina substrate using a solvothermal crystallization method. The absence of pinhole defects in the film was confirmed and supported by the occurrence of quantifiable time-lags, for all studied gases, during constant volume/variable pressure permeation tests. For both pure and mixed gas feeds, the sod-ZMOF-1 membrane exhibits favorable permeation selectivity toward carbon dioxide over relevant industrial gases such as H2, N2, and CH4, and it is mainly governed by favorable CO2 adsorption.
我们报告了首例连续沸石型金属有机骨架(ZMOF)薄膜的制备。采用溶剂热结晶法,在多孔氧化铝基底上生长并支撑了纯相 sod-ZMOF(方钠石拓扑结构)薄膜。在恒容/变压渗透测试中,所有研究气体均出现了可量化的时间滞后,这证实并支持了该薄膜不存在微孔缺陷。对于纯气体和混合气体进料,sod-ZMOF-1 膜对二氧化碳表现出有利的渗透选择性,优于相关工业气体,如 H2、N2 和 CH4,这主要是由于 CO2 吸附有利。
