Vapor-phase crosslinked mixed matrix membranes with UiO-66-NH2 for organic solvent nanofiltration

In this work, a series of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) containing nano-size amine-functionalized UiO-66 particles were vapor-phase crosslinked by tris (3-aminopropyl) amine (TAPA) and investigated for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) applications. A thin dense layer was successfully formed on top of MMMs which improved solute selectivity in isopropanol (IPA). By manipulating (1) the size and loading of UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles in dope...
