Abstrakt: There is a need for gas separation membranes that can perform at high temperatures, for example, for CO 2 capture in industrial processes. Polyphosphazenes classify as interesting materials for use under these conditions because of their high thermal stability, hybrid nature, and postfunctionalization options. In this work, thin-film composite cyclomatrix polyphosphazene membranes are prepared via the interfacial polymerization reaction between polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene on top of a ceramic support. The prepared polyphosphazene networks are highly crosslinked and show excellent thermal stability until 340 °C. Single gas permeation experiments at temperatures ranging from 50 to 250 °C reveal a molecular sieving behavior, with permselectivities as high as 130 for H 2 /CH 4 at the low temperatures. The permselectivities of the membranes persist at the higher temperatures; at 250 °C H 2 /N 2 (40), H 2 /CH 4 (31) H 2 /CO 2 (7), and CO 2 /CH 4 (4), respectively, while maintaining permeances in the order of 10 -7 to 10 -8 mol m -2 s -1 Pa -1 . Compared to other types of polymer-based membranes, especially the H 2 /N 2 and H 2 /CH 4 selectivities are high, with similar permeances. Consequently, the hybrid polyphosphazene membranes have great potential for use in high-temperature gas separation applications.
