Rapid Gas Transport from Block-Copolymer Templated Nanoporous Carbon Films

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Jing Zhao, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Marina Micari, Xuekui Duan

Porous carbon films, attributed to their superior thermal and chemical robustness, are attractive for a number of applications. In the context of molecular separation, a major focus has been on films where the effective pore diameter is lower than 1 nm, e. ...

Synergistic CO2-Sieving from Polymer with Intrinsic Microporosity Masking Nanoporous Single-Layer Graphene

Mounir Driss Mensi, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Jing Zhao, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Wan-Chi Lee

High-flux nanoporous single-layer graphene membranes are highly promising for energy-efficient gas separation. Herein, in the context of carbon capture, a remarkable enhancement in the CO(2)selectivity is demonstrated by uniquely masking nanoporous single- ...

Hydrogen sieving from intrinsic defects of benzene-derived single-layer graphene

Mina Moradi, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Jing Zhao, Majharul Haque Khan

Single-layer graphene films, crystallized by chemical vapor deposition, host a low density of vacancy defects that are attractive for the size-sieving of molecules. The size and the density of such defects are a function of the growth temperature and the c ...

High-permeance polymer-functionalized single-layer graphene membranes that surpass the postcombustion carbon capture target

Mounir Driss Mensi, Emad Oveisi, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Jing Zhao, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra

Membrane-based postcombustion carbon capture can reduce the capture penalty in comparison to absorbent-based separation. To realize this, high-performance membranes are urgently needed with a CO2 permeance exceeding 1000 gas permeation units or GPU, and a ...

Electrophoretic Nuclei Assembly for Crystallization of High Performance Membranes on Unmodified Supports

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Jing Zhao

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) films have recently emerged as highly permselective membranes yielding orders of magnitude higher gas permeance than that from the conventional membranes. However, synthesis of highly-intergrown, ultrathin MOF films on porou ...

Single-layer graphene membranes by crack-free transfer for gas mixture separation

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Emad Oveisi, Andreas Züttel, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Wen Luo, Jing Zhao

The single-layer graphene film, when incorporated with molecular-sized pores, is predicted to be the ultimate membrane. However, the major bottlenecks have been the crack-free transfer of large-area graphene on a porous support, and the incorporation of mo ...
