Ionic-liquid-modified MOFs incorporated in a mixed-matrix membrane by metal-site anchoring for gas separation†
Abstract
Through metal-site anchoring, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were modified with ionic liquids (ILs) and used as a porous filler to prepare mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). The targeted growth of the IL exposed more active sites and greatly enhanced CO2 transfer in the MMMs, which exhibited excellent gas separation performance and long durability.
