摘要
CONSPECTUS:Gas separation is one of the most important industrial processes and is poised to take a larger role in the transition to renewable energy,e.g.,carbon capture and hydrogen purification.Conventional gas separation processes involving cryogenic distillation,solvents,and sorbents are energy intensive,and as a result,the energy footprint of gas separations in the chemical industry is extraordinarily high.This has motivated fundamental research toward the development of novel materials for highperformance membranes to improve the energy efficiency of gas separation.
