Mixed-Matrix Membranes Containing Carbon Nanotubes Composite with Hydrogel for Efficient CO 2 Separation.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2016 October 27
In this study, a carbon nanotubes composite coated with N-isopropylacrylamide hydrogel (NIPAM-CNTs) was synthesized. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated by incorporating NIPAM-CNTs composite filler into poly(ether-block-amide) (Pebax MH 1657) matrix for efficient CO2 separation. The as-prepared NIPAM-CNTs composite filler mainly plays two roles: (i) The extraordinary smooth one-dimensional nanochannels of CNTs act as the highways to accelerate CO2 transport through membranes, increasing CO2 permeability; (ii) The NIPAM hydrogel layer coated on the outer walls of CNTs acts as the super water absorbent to increase water content of membranes, appealing both CO2 permeability and CO2 /gas selectivity. MMM containing 5 wt % NIPAM-CNTs exhibited the highest CO2 permeability of 567 barrer, CO2 /CH4 selectivity of 35, and CO2 /N2 selectivity of 70, transcending 2008 Robeson upper bound line. The improved CO2 separation performance of MMMs is mainly attributed to the construction of the efficient CO2 transport pathways by NIPAM-CNTs. Thus, MMMs incorporated with NIPAM-CNTs composite filler can be used as an excellent membrane material for efficient CO2 separation.
