Abstract

CO2 capture CO2/CH4 separation CO2/N2 separation Moiety Polymer membranes Polymers of intrinsic microporosity
Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) with high free volumes have been synthesized by incorporating contorted rigid moieties into polymers backbones. Despite their many appealing properties, membranes made of these polymers have not been used industrially because of their fast physical aging. The unprecedented CO2 permeability and satisfactory CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivity of PIMs have led to establishing the new 2019 upper bounds for the gas mixtures. This article reviews recent advances in the field of PIM-based membranes. It discusses polymer synthesis strategies to modify PIM structures such that the resulting membranes have improved CO2 separation performance and lower physical aging. The strategies include the use of monomers with suitable side chains, kinked moieties, and stable structures.
