Kurzfassung:
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are promising for gas separation membrane, but their molecular cut‐off differs from that expected from its intrinsic aperture structure because of their flexibility. Herein, we introduced graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) to rigidify the ZIF framework. Because the sp 2 edge of the GNRs induces strong anchoring effects, the modified layer can be rigidified. Particularly, when the GNRs were embedded and distributed in the ZIF‐8 layer, an intrinsic aperture size of 3.4 Å was observed, resulting in high H 2 /CO 2 separation (H 2 permeance: 5.2×10 −6 mol/m 2 Pa s, ideal selectivity: 142). The performance surpasses the upper bound of polycrystalline MOF membrane performance. In addition, the membrane can be applied to blue H 2 production, as demonstrated with a simulated steam reformed gas containing H 2 /CO 2 /CH 4 . The separation performance was retained in the presence of water. The fundamentals of the molecular transport through the rigid ZIF‐8 framework were revealed using molecular dynamics simulations.
