Hydrocarbon ladder polymers with ultrahigh permselectivity for membrane gas separations

Abstract: Membranes have the potential to substantially reduce energy consumption of industrial chemical separations, but their implementation has been limited owing to a performance upper bound—the trade-off between permeability and selectivity. Although recent developments of highly permeable polymer membranes have advanced the upper bounds for various gas pairs, these polymers typically exhibit limited selectivity. We report a class of hydrocarbon ladder polymers that can achieve both high selectivity and high permea… Show more

“…35,36 Furthermore, some of these polymers exhibit high gas permeability and moderate perm-selectivity, with their H 2 /CH 4 , O 2 /N 2 , and H 2 /N 2 separation performances exceeding the corresponding 2015 Robeson's upper bounds. 37,38 Thus far, studies of N2BC-containing polymers have mainly focused on structural manipulation, microstructure profiles, and gas transport characteristics. In this study, a series of fluorinated N2BC-containing CPIs with a high T g and excellent optical transparency were reported.…”

“…Thus, various ladder polymers have been developed by direct CANAL polymerization between aryl bromides and NBD or the step-growth polymerization of N2BC-containing monomers. These polymers exhibit a microporous morphology and good solubility in organic solvents due to the presence of rigid and contorted N2BC segments. , Furthermore, some of these polymers exhibit high gas permeability and moderate perm-selectivity, with their H 2 /CH 4 , O 2 /N 2 , and H 2 /N 2 separation performances exceeding the corresponding 2015 Robeson’s upper bounds. , …”

“…For example, Zhang et al proposed a softness regulation strategy for rigid networks and designed 14 kinds of membranes with excellent hydrogen separation capability [20]. Recently, some new membrane materials and processing technologies have emerged, providing inspiration for the design and preparation of hydrogen separation membranes [21][22][23].…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] To date, polymeric membranes is dominating the membrane separation market because of the ease of processing polymers into thin selective membranes. 2,[9][10][11] Nevertheless, the separation performance of polymeric membranes suffers from the tradeoff effect, as depicted by the Robeson plot for typical gas pairs including CO 2 /CH 4 . [12][13][14] In this context, it is essential to develop membranes that can outperform conventional polymeric membranes.…”

“…23 Glassy polymeric membranes have excellent mechanical/chemical stabilities which benefit the operation under extreme conditions such as high pressure. 10,11,[29][30][31][32] However, the fabrication of high-performance MMCMs using glassy polymer as matrix remains elusive. In theory, there are two critical issues remaining unresolved.…”
