摘要

To advance CO2 separation technologies, lysine-decorated UiO-66-NH2 (LYS-UiO-66-NH2) fillers were synthesized via a lysine modification and integrated into a Pebax-1657 matrix, yielding high-performance mixed matrix membranes. The carboxyl groups of the amino acids provide nucleophilic sites, promoting stronger interactions between LYS-UiO-66-NH2 and CO2 molecules. Moreover, the N–H and C = O bonds present in LYS-UiO-66-NH2 facilitate hydrogen bonding with complementary C = O and N–H functional groups in the Pebax polymer backbone. These interactions significantly improve filler–polymer compatibility, enhancing interfacial adhesion and achieving uniform filler dispersion within the membrane matrix. Characterizations conducted via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed successful synthesis of the LYS-UiO-66-NH2 filler particles, exhibiting high crystallinity, uniform distribution within the polymer matrix, superior thermal stability, and absence of discernible interfacial defects. Compared to pristine Pebax membranes, the LYS-UiO-66-NH2/Pebax MMM containing 3 wt% filler exhibited a CO2 permeability of 104.62 Barrer and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 85.75 at 30℃ and 0.1 MPa, corresponding to increases of 74.16% and 75.61%, respectively, thereby surpassing the 2008 Robeson upper bound. This work demonstrates the considerable potential of the designed MMMs for highly efficient CO2 separation.
