Progress of metal-organic framework-based membranes for gas separation
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have potential applications in gas storage,separation, catalysis,drug delivery and optical devices due to their large surface area and free volume,adjustable pore surface and various structures. Among them,gas separation using MOF membranes and MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes (MMM) is considered as one of the most promising applications. So far,a large number of MOF have been synthesized in experiment. Computational chemistry,as a complement to experimental study,provides a convenient approach to screen the MOF candidates in a large scale and shortens the design and research period. This paper reviewed recent research progress in computational and experimental works on MOF-based membranes,which are mainly focused on the development of membranes with more abundant functionality and higher stability. However,it is still a great challenge to build the structure-property relationship using the computational chemistry method. Therefore,more efforts should be made to develop new concepts and methods to estimate the structure and performance of MOF membranes,and then to design membrane materials with high stability and low cost in the future.
