Functionalisation of MUF-15 Enhances CO2/CH4 Selectivity in Mixed-Matrix Membranes Chem. Commun. (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-05-10 Yiming Zhang, Elnaz Jangodaz, Ben Yin, Shane Telfer
MUF-15 (MUF = Massey University Framework) is a metal-organic framework with pores that can be tuned by ligand functionalisation. Crystallites of MUF-15 and derivatives were blended with the organic polymer 6FDA-DAM to produce mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). At a loading of 30 wt.%, membranes with MUF-15-F, MUF-15 with an appended fluoro group, exhibited a CO2 permeability of 1300 Barrer and CO2/CH4
