Abstract
Self-supported branched poly(ethylenimine) scaffolds with ordered macropores are synthesized with and without Al2O3 powder additive by cross-linking poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) at -196 °C. The scaffolds' CO2 uptake performance is compared with a conventional sorbent, i.e., PEI impregnated on an Al2O3 support. PEI scaffolds with Al2O3 additive show narrow pore size distribution and thinner pore walls than alumina-free materials, facilitating higher CO2 uptake at conditions relevant to direct air capture. The PEI scaffold containing 6.5 wt % Al2O3 had the highest CO2 uptake of 1.23 mmol/g of sorbent under 50% RH 400 ppm of CO2 conditions. In situ DRIFT spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption experiments show a significant CO2 uptake contribution via physisorption as well as carbamic acid formation, with lower CO2 binding energies in PEI scaffolds relative to conventional PEI sorbents, likely a result of a lower population of primary amines due to the amine cross-linking reactions during scaffold synthesis. The PEI scaffold containing 6.5 wt % Al2O3 is estimated to have the lowest desorption energy penalty under humid conditions, 4.6 GJ/tCO2, among the sorbents studied.

Abstract
Zeolites, silica-supported amines, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been demonstrated as promising adsorbents for direct air CO2 capture (DAC), but the shaping and structuring of these materials into sorbent modules for practical processes have been inadequately investigated compared to the extensive research on powder materials. Furthermore, there have been relatively few studies reporting the DAC performance of sorbent contactors under cold, subambient conditions (temperatures below 20 °C). In this work, we demonstrate the successful fabrication of adsorbent monoliths composed of cellulose acetate (CA) and adsorbent particles such as zeolite 13X and MOF MIL-101(Cr) by a 3D printing technique: solution-based additive manufacturing (SBAM). These monoliths feature interpenetrated macroporous polymeric frameworks in which microcrystals of zeolite 13X or MIL-101(Cr) are evenly distributed, highlighting the versatility of SBAM in fabricating monoliths containing sorbents with different particle sizes and density. Branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) is successfully loaded into the CA/MIL-101(Cr) monoliths to impart CO2 uptakes of 1.05 mmol gmonolith-1 at -20 °C and 400 ppm of CO2. Kinetic analysis shows that the CO2 sorption kinetics of PEI-loaded MIL-101(Cr) sorbents are not compromised in the monoliths compared to the powder sorbents. Importantly, these monoliths exhibit promising working capacities (0.95 mmol gmonolith-1) over 14 temperature swing cycles with a moderate regeneration temperature of 60 °C. Dynamic breakthrough experiments at 25 °C under dry conditions reveal a CO2 uptake capacity of 0.60 mmol gmonolith-1, which further increases to 1.05 and 1.43 mmol gmonolith-1 at -20 °C under dry and humid (70% relative humidity) conditions, respectively. Our work showcases the successful implementation of SBAM in making DAC sorbent monoliths with notable CO2 capture performance over a wide range of sorption temperatures, suggesting that SBAM can enable the preparation of efficient sorbent contactors in various form factors for other important chemical separations.

Abstract
We explore the effects of the carbon molecular sieve (CMS) microstructure on the separation performance and transport mechanism of water-organic mixtures. Specifically, we utilize PIM-1 dense films and integrally skinned asymmetric hollow fiber membranes as polymer precursors for the CMS materials. The PIM-1 membranes were pyrolyzed under several different pyrolysis atmospheres (argon, carbon dioxide, and diluted hydrogen gas) and at multiple pyrolysis temperatures. Detailed gas physisorption measurements reveal that membranes pyrolyzed under 4% H2 and CO2 had broadened ultramicropore distributions (pore diameter <7 Å) compared to Ar pyrolysis, and pyrolysis under CO2 increased ultramicropore volume and broadened micropore distributions at increased pyrolysis temperatures. Gravimetric water and p-xylene sorption and diffusion measurements reveal that the PIM-1-derived CMS materials are more hydrophilic than other CMS materials that have been previously studied, which leads to sorption-diffusion estimations showing water-selective permeation. Water permeation in the vapor phase, pervaporation, and liquid-phase hydraulic permeation reveal that the isobaric permeation modes (vapor permeation and pervaporation) are reasonably well predicted by the sorption-diffusion model, whereas the hydraulic permeation mode is significantly underpredicted (>250×). Conversely, the permeation of p-xylene is well predicted by the sorption-diffusion model in all cases. The collection of pore size analysis, vapor sorption and diffusion, and permeation in different modalities creates a picture of a combined transport mechanism in which water-under high transmembrane pressures-permeates via a Poiseuille-style mechanism, whereas p-xylene solutes in the mixture permeate via sorption-diffusion.

Abstract
Membrane-based organic solvent separations are rapidly emerging as a promising class of technologies for enhancing the energy efficiency of existing separation and purification systems. Polymeric membranes have shown promise in the fractionation or splitting of complex mixtures of organic molecules such as crude oil. Determining the separation performance of a polymer membrane when challenged with a complex mixture has thus far occurred in an ad hoc manner, and methods to predict the performance based on mixture composition and polymer chemistry are unavailable. Here, we combine physics-informed machine learning algorithms (ML) and mass transport simulations to create an integrated predictive model for the separation of complex mixtures containing up to 400 components via any arbitrary linear polymer membrane. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of the model by predicting the separation of two crude oils within 6-7% of the measurements. Integration of ML predictors of diffusion and sorption properties of molecules with transport simulators enables for the rapid screening of polymer membranes prior to physical experimentation for the separation of complex liquid mixtures.

Abstract
Porous liquids are an emerging class of microporous materials where intrinsic, stable porosity is imbued in a liquid material. Many porous liquids are prepared by dispersing porous solids in bulky solvents; these can be contrasted by the method of dissolving microporous molecules. We highlight the latter "Type II" porous liquids-which are stable thermodynamic solutions with demonstrable colligative properties. This feature significantly impacts the ultimate utility of the liquid for various end-use applications. We also describe a facile method for determining if a Type II porous liquid candidate is "porous" based on assessing the partial molar volume of the porous host molecule dissolved in the solvent by measuring the densities of candidate solutions. Conventional CO2 isotherms confirm the porosity of the porous liquids and corroborate the facile density method.

Abstract
The need for energy-efficient recovery of organic solutes from aqueous streams is becoming more urgent as chemical manufacturing transitions toward nonconventional and bio-based feedstocks and processes. In addition to this, many aqueous waste streams contain recalcitrant organic contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents, and personal care products, that must be removed prior to reuse. We observe that rigid carbon membrane materials can remove and concentrate organic contaminants via an unusual liquid-phase membrane permeation modality. Surprisingly, detailed thermodynamic calculations on the chemical potential of the organic contaminant reveal that the organic species has a higher chemical potential on the permeate side of the membrane than on the feed side of the membrane. This unusual observation challenges conventional membrane transport theory that posits that all permeating species move from high chemical potential states to lower chemical potential states. Based on experimental measurements, we hypothesize that the organic is concentrated in the membrane relative to water via favorable binding interactions between the organic and the carbon membrane. The concentrated organic is then swept through the membrane via the bulk flow of water in a modality known as "sorp-vection." We highlight via simplified nonequilibrium thermodynamic models that this "uphill" chemical potential permeation of the organic does not result in second-law violations and can be deduced via measurements of the organic and water sorption and diffusion rates into the carbon membrane. Moreover, this work identifies the need to consider such nonidealities when incorporating unique, rigid materials for the separations of aqueous waste streams.

Abstract
Vapor phase infiltration (VPI) is a post-polymerization modification technique that infuses inorganics into polymers to create organic-inorganic hybrid materials with new properties. Much is yet to be understood about the chemical kinetics underlying the VPI process. The aim of this study is to create a greater understanding of the process kinetics that govern the infiltration of trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and TiCl4 into PMMA to form inorganic-PMMA hybrid materials. To gain insight, this paper initially examines the predicted results for the spatiotemporal concentrations of inorganics computed from a recently posited reaction-diffusion model for VPI. This model provides insight on how the Damköhler number (reaction versus diffusion rates) and non-Fickian diffusional processes (hindering) that result from the material transforming from a polymer to a hybrid can affect the evolution of inorganic concentration depth profiles with time. Subsequently, experimental XPS depth profiles are collected for TMA and TiCl4 infiltrated PMMA films at 90 °C and 135 °C. The functional behavior of these depth profiles at varying infiltration times are qualitatively compared to various computed predictions and conclusions are drawn about the mechanisms of each of these processes. TMA infiltration into PMMA appears to transition from a diffusion-limited process at low temperatures (90 °C) to a reaction-limited process at high temperatures (135 °C) for the film thicknesses investigated here (200 nm). While TMA appears to fully infiltrate these 200 nm PMMA films within a few hours, TiCl4 infiltration into PMMA is considerably slower, with full saturation not occurring even after 2 days of precursor exposure. Infiltration at 90 °C is so slow that no clear conclusions about mechanism can be drawn; however, at 135 °C, the TiCl4 infiltration into PMMA is clearly a reaction-limited process, with TiCl4 permeating the entire thickness (at low concentrations) within only a few minutes, but inorganic loading continuously increasing in a uniform manner over a course of 2 days. Near-surface deviations from the uniform-loading expected for a reaction-limited process also suggest that diffusional hindering is high for TiCl4 infiltration into PMMA. These results demonstrate a new, ex situ analysis approach for investigating the rate-limiting process mechanisms for vapor phase infiltration.

Abstract
A variety of amine-impregnated porous solid sorbents for direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 have been developed, yet the effect of amine-solid support interactions on the CO2 adsorption behavior is still poorly understood. When tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is impregnated on two different supports, commercial γ-Al2O3 and MIL-101(Cr), they show different trends in CO2 sorption when the temperature (-20 to 25 °C) and humidity (0-70% RH) of the simulated air stream are varied. In situ IR spectroscopy is used to probe the mechanism of CO2 sorption on the two supported amine materials, with weak chemisorption (formation of carbamic acid) being the dominant pathway over MIL-101(Cr)-supported TEPA and strong chemisorption (formation of carbamate) occurring over γ-Al2O3-supported TEPA. Formation of both carbamic acid and carbamate species is enhanced over the supported TEPA materials under humid conditions, with the most significant enhancement observed at -20 °C. However, while equilibrium H2O sorption is high at cold temperatures (e.g., -20 °C), the effect of humidity on a practical cyclic DAC process is expected to be minimal due to slow H2O uptake kinetics. This work suggests that the CO2 capture mechanisms of impregnated amines can be controlled by adjusting the degree of amine-solid support interaction and that H2O adsorption behavior is strongly affected by the properties of the support materials. Thus, proper selection of solid support materials for amine impregnation will be important for achieving optimized DAC performance under varied deployment conditions, such as cold (e.g., -20 °C) or ambient temperature (e.g., 25 °C) operations.

Abstract
Vapor-phase infiltration, a postpolymerization modification process, has demonstrated the ability to create organic-inorganic hybrid membranes with excellent stability in organic solvents while maintaining critical membrane properties of high permeability and selectivity. However, the chemical reaction pathways that occur during VPI and their implications on the hybrid membrane stability are poorly understood. This paper combines in situ quartz crystal microbalance gravimetry (QCM) and ex situ chemical characterization with first-principles simulations at the atomic scale to study each processing step in the infiltration of polymer of intrinsic microporosity 1 (PIM-1) with trimethylaluminum (TMA) and its co-reaction with water vapor. Building upon results from in situ QCM experiments and SEM/EDX, which find TMA remains within PIM-1 even under long desorption times, density functional theory (DFT) simulations identify that an energetically stable coordination forms between the metal-organic precursor and PIM-1's nitrile functional group during the precursor exposure step of VPI. In the subsequent water vapor exposure step, the system undergoes a series of exothermic reactions to form the final hybrid membrane. DFT simulations indicate that these reaction pathways result in aluminum oxyhydroxide species consistent with ex situ XPS and FTIR characterization. Both NMR and DFT simulations suggest that the final aluminum structure is primarily 6-fold coordinated and that the aluminum is at least dimerized, if not further "polymerized". According to the simulations, coordination of the aluminum with at least one nitrile group from the PIM-1 appears to weaken significantly as the final inorganic structure emerges but remains present to enable the formation of the 6-fold coordination species. Water molecules are proposed to complete the coordination complex without further increasing the aluminum's oxidation state. This study provides new insights into the infiltration process and the chemical structure of the final hybrid membrane including support for the possible mechanism of solvent stability.

Abstract
In this work we apply dry glass reference perturbation theory (DGRPT) within the context of fully mutualized diffusion theory to predict the temperature and pressure dependent separations of complex liquid mixtures using SBAD-1 glassy polymer membranes. We demonstrate that the approach allows for the prediction of the membrane-based separation of complex liquid mixtures over a wide range of temperature and pressure, using only single-component vapor sorption isotherms measured at 25 °C to parameterize the model. The model was then applied to predict the membrane separation of a light shale crude using a structure oriented lumping (SOL) based compositional model of petroleum. It was shown that when DGRPT is applied based on SOL compositions, the combined model allows for the accurate prediction of separation performance based on the trend of both molecular weight and molecular class.

Abstract
Porosity and surface area analysis play a prominent role in modern materials science. At the heart of this sits the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) theory, which has been a remarkably successful contribution to the field of materials science. The BET method was developed in the 1930s for open surfaces but is now the most widely used metric for the estimation of surface areas of micro- and mesoporous materials. Despite its widespread use, the calculation of BET surface areas causes a spread in reported areas, resulting in reproducibility problems in both academia and industry. To prove this, for this analysis, 18 already-measured raw adsorption isotherms were provided to sixty-one labs, who were asked to calculate the corresponding BET areas. This round-robin exercise resulted in a wide range of values. Here, the reproducibility of BET area determination from identical isotherms is demonstrated to be a largely ignored issue, raising critical concerns over the reliability of reported BET areas. To solve this major issue, a new computational approach to accurately and systematically determine the BET area of nanoporous materials is developed. The software, called "BET surface identification" (BETSI), expands on the well-known Rouquerol criteria and makes an unambiguous BET area assignment possible.

Abstract
We describe a straightforward and scalable fabrication of diamine-appended metal-organic framework (MOF)/polymer composite hollow fiber sorbent modules for CO2 capture from dilute streams, such as flue gas from natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. A specific Mg-MOF, Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate), incorporated into poly(ether sulfone) (PES) is directly spun through a conventional "dry-jet, wet-quench" method. After phase separation, a cyclic diamine 2-(aminomethyl)piperidine (2-ampd) is infused into the MOF within the polymer matrix during postspinning solvent exchange. The MOF hollow fibers from direct spinning contain as high as 70% MOF in the total fibers with 98% of the pure MOF uptake. The resulting fibers exhibit a step isotherm and a "shock-wave-shock" breakthrough profile consistent with pure 2-ampd-Mg2(dobpdc). This work demonstrates a practical method for fabricating 2-ampd-Mg2(dobpdc) fiber sorbents that display the MOF's high CO2 adsorption capacity while lowering the pressure drop during operation.

Abstract
Materials and processes for chemical separations must be used in complex environments to have an impact in many practical settings. Despite these complexities, much research on chemical separations has focused on idealized chemical mixtures. In this paper, we suggest that research communities for specific chemical separations should develop well-defined exemplar mixtures to bridge the gap between fundamental studies and practical applications and we provide a hierarchical framework of chemical mixtures for this purpose. We illustrate this hierarchy with examples, including CO2 capture, capture of uranium from seawater, and separations of mixtures from electrocatalytic CO2 reactions, among others. We conclude with four recommendations for the research community to accelerate the development of innovative separations strategies for pressing real-world challenges.

Abstract
Due to the dramatically increased atmospheric CO2 concentration and consequential climate change, significant effort has been made to develop sorbents to directly capture CO2 from ambient air (direct air capture, DAC) to achieve negative CO2 emissions in the immediate future. However, most developed sorbents have been studied under a limited array of temperature (>20 °C) and humidity conditions. In particular, the dearth of experimental data on DAC at sub-ambient conditions (e.g., -30 to 20 °C) and under humid conditions will severely hinder the large-scale implementation of DAC because the world has annual average temperatures ranging from -30 to 30 °C depending on the location and essentially no place has a zero absolute humidity. To this end, we suggest that understanding CO2 adsorption from ambient air at sub-ambient temperatures, below 20 °C, is crucial because colder temperatures represent important practical operating conditions and because such temperatures may provide conditions where new sorbent materials or enhanced process performance might be achieved. Here we demonstrate that MIL-101(Cr) materials impregnated with amines (TEPA, tetraethylenepentamine, or PEI, poly(ethylenimine)) offer promising adsorption and desorption behavior under DAC conditions in both the presence and absence of humidity under a wide range of temperatures (-20 to 25 °C). Depending on the amine loading and adsorption temperature, the sorbents show different CO2 capture behavior. With 30 and 50 wt % amine loadings, the sorbents show weak and strong chemisorption-dominant CO2 capture behavior, respectively. Interestingly, at -20 °C, the CO2 adsorption capacity of 30 wt % TEPA-impregnated MIL-101(Cr) significantly increased up to 1.12 mmol/g from 0.39 mmol/g at ambient conditions (25 °C) due to the enhanced weak chemisorption. More importantly, the sorbents also show promising working capacities (0.72 mmol/g) over 15 small temperature swing cycles with an ultralow regeneration temperature (-20 °C sorption to 25 °C desorption). The sub-ambient DAC performance of the sorbents is further enhanced under humid conditions, showing promising and stable CO2 working capacities over multiple humid small temperature swing cycles. These results demonstrate that appropriately designed DAC sorbents can operate in a weak chemisorption modality at low temperatures even in the presence of humidity. Significant energy savings may be realized via the utilization of small temperature swings enabled by this weak chemisorption behavior. This work suggests that significant work on DAC materials that operate at low, sub-ambient temperatures is warranted for possible deployment in temperate and polar climates.

Abstract
Type II porous liquids, comprising intrinsically porous molecules dissolved in a liquid solvent, potentially combine the adsorption properties of porous adsorbents with the handling advantages of liquids. Previously, discovery of appropriate solvents to make porous liquids had been limited to direct experimental tests. We demonstrate an efficient screening approach for this task that uses COSMO-RS calculations, predictions of solvent pKa values from a machine-learning model, and several other features and apply this approach to select solvents from a library of more than 11,000 compounds. This method is shown to give qualitative agreement with experimental observations for two molecular cages, CC13 and TG-TFB-CHEDA, identifying solvents with higher solubility for these molecules than had previously been known. Ultimately, the algorithm streamlines the downselection of suitable solvents for porous organic cages to enable more rapid discovery of Type II porous liquids.

Abstract
The synthesis and functionalization of porous organic cages (POCs) for separation have attracted growing interest over the past decade. However, the potential of solid-phase POCs for practical, large-scale separations will require incorporation into appropriate gas-solid or liquid-solid contactors. Contactors with more effective mass transfer properties and lower pressure drops than pelletized systems are preferred. Here, we prepared and characterized fiber sorbents with POCs throughout a cellulose acetate (CA) polymer matrix, which were then deployed in model separations. The POC CC3 was shown to be stable after exposure to spinning solvents, as confirmed by NMR, powder X-ray diffraction, and gas sorption experiments. CC3-CA fibers were spun using the dry-jet wet-quench spinning method. Spun fibers retained the adsorptive properties of CC3 powders, as confirmed by CO2 and N2 physisorption and TGA, reaching upward of 60 wt % adsorbent loading, whereas the pelletized CC3 counterparts suffered significant losses in textural properties. The separation capabilities of the CC3-CA fibers are tested with both simulated postcombustion flue gas and with Xe/Kr mixtures. Fixed bed breakthrough experiments performed on fibers samples show that CC3 embedded in polymeric fibers can effectively perform these proof-of-concept gas separations. The development of fiber sorbents embedded with POCs provides an alternative to traditional pelletization for the incorporation of these materials into adsorptive separation systems.

Abstract
In membrane-based separation, molecular size differences relative to membrane pore sizes govern mass flux and separation efficiency. In applications requiring complex molecular differentiation, such as in natural gas processing, cascaded pore size distributions in membranes allow different permeate molecules to be separated without a reduction in throughput. Here, we report the decoration of microporous polymer membrane surfaces with molecular fluorine. Molecular fluorine penetrates through the microporous interface and reacts with rigid polymeric backbones, resulting in membrane micropores with multimodal pore size distributions. The fluorine acts as angstrom-scale apertures that can be controlled for molecular transport. We achieved a highly effective gas separation performance in several industrially relevant hollow-fibrous modular platform with stable responses over 1 year.

Abstract
Target properties of CO2 capture adsorbents that would ensure economic viability of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) are defined. The key role of sorbent lifetime in the process cost is demonstrated, and an optimal heat of adsorption for BECCS is postulated through a balance of adsorbent-adsorbate affinity and regeneration energy demand. Using an exponential decay model of sorbent capacity increases the process cost and results in an optimum sorbent lifetime. To ensure a levelized cost of carbon below $100/tonne-CO2, adsorbents should be designed to have working capacities above 0.75 mol/kg, lifetimes over 2 years, heats of adsorption of approximately -40 kJ/mol, and exponential degradation decay constants below 5 × 10-6 cycle-1 (equivalent to a half-life of 1.3 years). Our model predicts a BECCS process cost of $65/t-CO2 can be achieved with a degradation-resistant adsorbent, $40/kg sorbent cost, 2.0 mol/kg working capacity, -40 kJ/mol heat of adsorption, and at least a 2 year lifetime.

Abstract
The fractionation of crude-oil mixtures through distillation is a large-scale, energy-intensive process. Membrane materials can avoid phase changes in such mixtures and thereby reduce the energy intensity of these thermal separations. With this application in mind, we created spirocyclic polymers with N-aryl bonds that demonstrated noninterconnected microporosity in the absence of ladder linkages. The resulting glassy polymer membranes demonstrated nonthermal membrane fractionation of light crude oil through a combination of class- and size-based "sorting" of molecules. We observed an enrichment of molecules lighter than 170 daltons corresponding to a carbon number of 12 or a boiling point less than 200°C in the permeate. Such scalable, selective membranes offer potential for the hybridization of energy-efficient technology with conventional processes such as distillation.

Abstract
Abstract
Predicting gas permeabilities of polymers a priori is a long-standing challenge within the membrane research community that has important applications for membrane process design and ultimately widespread adoption of membrane technology. From early attempts based on free volume and cohesive energy to more recent group contribution methods, the ability to predict membrane permeability has improved in terms of accuracy. However, these models usually stay “within the paper”, i.e. limited model details are provided to the wider community such that adoption of these predictive platforms is limited. In this work, we combined an advanced polymer chemical structure fingerprinting method with a large experimental database of gas permeabilities to provide unprecedented prediction precision over a large range of polymer classes. No prior knowledge of the polymer is needed for the prediction other than the repeating unit chemical formula. In addition, we have incorporated this model into the existing Polymer Genome project to make it open to the membrane research community.

Abstract
Nanocellulosic films (nanopapers) are of interest for packaging, printing, chemical diagnostics, flexible electronics and separation membranes. These nanopaper products often require chemical modification to enhance functionality. Most chemical modification is achieved via wet chemistry methods that can be tedious and energy intensive due to post-processing drying. Here, we discuss the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD), a vapor phase modification technique, to quickly and simply make nanopaper hydrophobic and enhance its wet strength and durability. Specifically, we find that just "a few" ALD cycles (≤10) of either aluminum oxide or titanium oxide is sufficient to significantly increase the durability of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) paper in aqueous media, even under aggressive sonication conditions. Keeping the number of ALD cycles low makes the process more scalable for commodity manufacturing. We investigate whether this increase in wet strength is due to enhanced hydrophobic attractions or stronger hydrogen bonding between CNF fibers. The current evidence suggests that the latter mechanism is likely dominant, with ab initio calculations suggesting that newly created M-OH terminations on the cellulose nanofibrils increase hydrogen bond strength between fibers and impede CNF hydration and dispersion. ALD treated nanopapers are also found to preferentially transport hexane over water, suggesting their potential use in oil/water demulsification devices.

Abstract
The fabrication of porous molecules, such as metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs), porous organic cages (POCs) and others, has given rise to the potential for creating "solid solutions" of molecular fillers and polymers. Such solid solutions circumvent longstanding interface issues associated with mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), and are referred to as molecularly mixed composite membranes (MMCMs) to distinguish them from traditional two-phase MMMs. Early investigations of MMCMs highlight the advantages of solid solutions over MMMs, including dispersion of the filler, anti-plasticization of the polymer network, and removal of deleterious interfacial issues. However, the exact microscopic structure as well as the transport modality in this new class of membrane are not well understood. Moreover, there are clear engineering challenges that need to be addressed for MMCMs to transition into the field. In this Minireview, the authors outline several scientific and technological challenges associated with the aforementioned questions and their suggestions to tackle them.

Abstract
Self-diffusivities of ethane were measured by multinuclear pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR inside zeolitic imidazolate framework-11 (ZIF-11) crystals dispersed in several selected polymers to form mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). These diffusivities were compared with the corresponding intracrystalline self-diffusivities in ZIF-11 crystal beds. It was observed that the confinement of ZIF-11 crystals in ZIF-11 / Torlon MMM can lead to a decrease in the ethane intracrystalline self-diffusivity. Such diffusivity decrease was observed at different temperatures used in this work. PFG NMR measurements of the temperature dependence of the intracrystalline self-diffusivity of ethylene in the same ZIF-11 / Torlon MMM revealed similar diffusivity decrease as well as an increase in the diffusion activation energy in comparison to those in unconfined ZIF-11 crystals in a crystal bed. These observations for ethane and ethylene were attributed to the reduction of the flexibility of the ZIF-11 framework due to the confinement in Torlon leading to a smaller effective aperture size of ZIF-11 crystals. Surprisingly, the intra-ZIF diffusion selectivity for ethane and ethylene was not changed appreciably by the confinement of ZIF-11 crystals in Torlon in comparison to the selectivity in a bed of ZIF-11 crystals. No ZIF-11 confinement effects leading to a reduction in the intracrystalline self-diffusivity of ethane and ethylene were observed for the other two studied MMM systems: ZIF-11 / Matrimid and ZIF-11 / 6FDA-DAM. The absence of the confinement effect in the latter MMMs can be related to the lower values of the polymer bulk modulus in these MMMs in comparison to that in ZIF-11 / Torlon MMM. In addition, there may be a contribution from possible differences in the ZIF-11/polymer adhesion in different MMM types.
