Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks with high aspect ratios have the potential to yield high-performance gas separation membranes. We demonstrate the scalable synthesis of high–aspect ratio zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)–8 nanoplates via a direct template conversion method in which high aspect ratio–layered Zn hydroxide sheets [Zn5(NO3)2(OH)8] were used as the sacrificial precursor. Successful phase conversion occurs as a result of the collaboration of low template stability and delayed delivery of 2-methylimidazole in weakly interacting solvents, particularly using acetone. When the ZIF-8 nanoplates with an average aspect ratio of 20 were shear aligned in the 6FDA-DAM polymer matrix by bar coating, the separation performance for propylene/propane far surpassed that of the previously reported mixed matrix and polymeric membranes, showing a propylene permeability of 164 Barrer and selectivity of 33.4 at 40 weight % loadings.
