文摘

Highly diverse structures and pore sizes make metal鈥搊rganic frameworks (MOFs) good candidates for the fabrication of gas separation membranes. The synthesis of continuous MOF membranes still remains a challenge. In this work, an integrated Cu-BTC membrane was successfully prepared on the novel potassium hexatitanate support for the first time by in situ solvothermal growth. This kind of support was found to be more suitable for the growth of Cu²⁺-containing MOF membranes than other traditional supports, such as a porous alumina support. The permeation results of Cu-BTC membranes obtained in this work show moderate separation selectivities of helium over other small gas molecules, including CO₂, N₂, and CH₄. Compared to other MOF membranes, the Cu-BTC membrane exhibits higher ideal selectivity for helium under the condition of similar helium permeance, while it has higher helium permeance with similar ideal selectivity.
