Membrane thinning for efficient CO(2) capture

Enhancing the fluxes in gas separation membranes is required for utilizing the membranes on a mass scale for CO(2) capture. Membrane thinning is one of the most promising approaches to achieve high fluxes. In addition, sophisticated molecular transport across membranes can boost gas separation perfo...

Sumario:Enhancing the fluxes in gas separation membranes is required for utilizing the membranes on a mass scale for CO(2) capture. Membrane thinning is one of the most promising approaches to achieve high fluxes. In addition, sophisticated molecular transport across membranes can boost gas separation performance. In this review, we attempt to summarize the current state of CO(2) separation membranes, especially from the viewpoint of thinning the selective layers and the membrane itself. The gas permeation behavior of membranes with ultimate thicknesses and their future directions are discussed.
