Poor interfacial compatibility remains a pressing challenge in the fabrication of high-performance polymer–MOF composites. In response, introducing compatible chemistries such as a carboxylic acid moiety has emerged as a compelling strategy to increase polymer–MOF interactions. In this work, we leveraged compatible functionalities in UiO-66-NH2and a carboxylic acid-functionalized PIM-1 to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with improved separation performance compared to PIM-1-based MMMs in industrially relevant conditions. Under pure-gas conditions, PIM-COOH-based MMMs retained selectivity with increasing MOF loading and showed increased permeability due to increased diffusion. The composites were further investigated under industrially relevant conditions, including CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, and H2S/CO2/CH4mixtures, to elucidate the effects of competitive sorption and plasticization. Incorporation of UiO-66-NH2in PIM-COOH and PIM-1 mitigated the effects of CO2- and H2S-induced plasticization typically observed in linear polymers. In CO2-based binary mixed-gas tests, all samples showed similar performance as that in pure-gas tests, with minimal competitive sorption contributions associated with the amine functional groups of the MOF. In ternary mixed-gas tests, improved plasticization resistance and interfacial compatibility resulted in PIM-COOH-based MMMs having the highest H2S/CH4and CO2/CH4selectivity combinations among the films tested in this study. These findings demonstrate that selecting MOFs and polymers with compatible functional groups is a useful strategy in developing high-performing microporous MMMs that require stability under complex and industrially relevant conditions. |
