Abstract
The study provides an in-depth study on the gas adsorption and transport behaviors of MOF glass membranes for the first time. Temperature dependance of gas permeability, adsorption coefficients and diffusion coefficients between 298 K and 313 K for TIF-4 and ZIF-62 glass membrane were evaluated. The CO 2 permeability was dominated by the adsorption process, while CH 4 transport was mainly driven by the activated diffusion. Further, the MOF glass membranes exhibited significant entropic selectivity in adsorption, along with notable enthalpic selectivity in diffusion.
