Grant Description

Gas separation is an energy-intensive process performed on very large scales, generating vast CO2 emissions.

Improved membrane-based gas separation methods could thus greatly reduce energy consumption and open new routes to resources.

However, developing such methods will require new fundamental knowledge concerning the material design and scalable method to prepare membranes with tailored angstrom-scale pores that can withstand harsh thermal, chemical, and mechanical separation conditions.Carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSM) are barrier materials with micropores (7-20 Å) and ultramicropores (
