Luan, Liping (author), Shi, Puxin (author), Wang, Zhi (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Liu, Xinlei (author)Novel membrane materials for H<sub>2</sub> separation are wanted. How to overcome the “trade-off” between membrane permeability and selectivity is a tough challenge. Here we report new random organic framework membranes with benzimidazole and imine linkages to form hierarchical channels. Both high H<sub>2</sub>-selective and fast H<sub>2</sub...journal article 2024

Zhang, Bo (author), Zhu, Zerui (author), Wang, Xuerui (author), Liu, X. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are superior sorbents for water adsorption-based applications. The unique step-like water isotherm at a MOF-specific relative pressure allows easy loading and regeneration over a small range of temperature and pressure conditions. With good hydrothermal stability and cyclic durability, it stands out over...review 2023

Cong, Shenzhen (author), Yuan, Ye (author), Wang, Jixiao (author), Wang, Zhi (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Liu, X. (author)New membrane materials with excellent water permeability and high ion rejection are needed. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates by virtue of their diversity in chemistry and topology. In this work, continuous aluminum MOF-303 membranes were prepared on α-Al2O3 substrates via an in situ hydrothermal synthesis method. The...journal article 2021

Liu, X. (author), Wang, X. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)The steep stepwise uptake of water vapor and easy release at low relative pressures and moderate temperatures together with high working capacities make metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attractive, promising materials for energy efficient applications in adsorption devices for humidity control (evaporation and condensation processes) and heat...review 2020

Shan, M. (author), Liu, X. (author), Wang, X. (author), Liu, Z. (author), Iziyi, H. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)Membranes with high selectivity and permeance are needed to reduce energy consumption in hydrogen purification and pre-combustion CO <sub>2</sub> capture. Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is one of the leading membrane materials for this separation. In this study, we present superior novel supported PBI (poly(p-phenylene benzobisimidazole), PBDI)...journal article 2019

Wang, X. (author), Shan, M. (author), Liu, X. (author), Wang, M. (author), Doherty, Cara M. (author), Osadchii, D. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)Increasing helium use in research and production processes necessitates separation techniques to secure sufficient supply of this noble gas. Energy-efficient helium production from natural gas is still a big challenge. Membrane gas separation technology could play an important role. Herein, a novel poly(p-phenylene benzobisimidazole) (PBDI)...journal article 2019

(author), Gascon, Jorge (author)The preparation and the performance of mixed matrix membranes based on metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are reported. MOP fillers can be dispersed as discrete molecular units (average 9 nm in diameter) when low filler cargos are used. In spite of the low doping amount (1.6 wt %), a large performance enhancement in permeability, aging resistance...journal article 2018

Shan, M. (author), Liu, X. (author), Wang, X. (author), Yarulina, I. (author), Seoane, Beatriz (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author)The development of new membranes with high H<sub>2</sub> separation performance under industrially relevant conditions (high temperatures and pressures) is of primary importance. For instance, these membranes may facilitate the implementation of energy-efficient precombustion CO<sub>2</sub> capture or reduce energy intensity in other...journal article 2018
