This study demonstrates the scalable synthesis of high-aspect ratio zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 nanoplates and their shear alignment in a polymer matrix, leading to high-performance gas separation membranes.
Metal-organic frameworks with high aspect ratios have the potential to yield high-performance gas separation membranes. We demonstrate the scalable synthesis of high-aspect ratio zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 nanoplates via a direct template conversion method in which high aspect ratio-layered Zn hydroxide sheets [Zn-5(NO3)(2)(OH)(8)] were used as the sacrificial precursor. Successful phase conversion occurs as a result of the collaboration of low template stability and delayed delivery of 2-methylimidazole in weakly interacting solvents, particularly using acetone. When the ZIF-8 nanoplates with an average aspect ratio of 20 were shear aligned in the 6FDA-DAM polymer matrix by bar coating, the separation performance for propylene/propane far surpassed that of the previously reported mixed matrix and polymeric membranes, showing a propylene permeability of 164 Barrer and selectivity of 33.4 at 40 weight % loadings.
