Polymers of intrinsic microporosity for energy-intensive membrane-based gas separations

This review provides a new perspective on the role of the state-of-the-art polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) in key energy-intensive membrane-based gas separations including O2/N2, H2/N2, H2/CH4, CO2/CH4, H2S/CH4, C2H4/C2H6, and C3H6/C3H8 applications. A general overview on the gas separation properties of novel PIM materials developed in the past 15 years is presented with updated performance maps on the latest pure-gas 2015 O2/N2,...
