Membrane-based separation technology offers attractive advantages, including energy efficiency and a compact footprint due to pressure-driven processes. Particularly, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which incorporate nanofillers uniformly within polymeric matrices, hold significant promise for scalability and efficient molecular size/shape-sieving capabilities. However, industrial implementation requires addressing technical challenges, such as precise molecular structure tuning and eliminating interfacial voids between polymer and molecular sieves. In this presentation, I will delve into the engineering of nanofiller and MMM molecular structures for gas separations, along with the transformation of flat sheets into hollow fiber configurations. Emphasis will be placed on the structural and textural modifications of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, highlighting their potential in material design and scalable fabrication for next-generation gas separation membranes.
