A one-dimensional material as a nano-scaffold and a pseudo-seed for facilitated growth of ultrathin, mechanically reinforced molecular sieving membranes.
A new pseudo-seeding and nano-scaffolding method was developed to synthesize thin ZIF-8 hybrid membranes (100-200 nm) with remarkable mechanical and structural stability and high H2permeance (2.87 × 10-5mol m-2s-1Pa-1) and selectivity over CO2(14), N2(18), CH4(35), C3H6(52.4) and C3H8(950.1).
