AI Technical Summary
Existing COFs materials are difficult to effectively separate H2 and CO2 in gas separation. The pore size of a single COFs layer cannot achieve effective separation, and the stability is poor under high pressure or humid environments.
A bilayer COF strategy was adopted, in which TpBD-2SO3H nanosheets were filtered onto HPAN. The electrostatic interaction between -SO3H and hydrazine hydrate was used to induce the directional polymerization of small-pore ACOF-1 at the interface, forming a dense and defect-free selective layer. The two COFs were stacked alternately to fill the defects between the nanosheets in situ, forming a bilayer COF composite film.
It achieves ultra-high H2 flux and high selectivity in H2/CO2 separation, enhances the integrity and stability of the membrane structure, and is suitable for complex gas separation processes.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Technical Field: This invention relates to a method for preparing a double-layer COF composite membrane and its application, belonging to the field of gas separation membranes.
[0002] Background Technology: The development of sustainable energy is a global priority, and hydrogen (H2) energy systems are considered an ideal solution for achieving a sustainable future. However, the production of H2 through processes such as hydrocarbon reforming or fossil fuel gasification often generates large amounts of carbon dioxide. Therefore, the efficient purification and separation of H2 from H2 / CO2 mixtures is crucial. Currently, industrial H2 / CO2 separation mainly relies on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and cryogenic separation technologies. The former is limited by high energy consumption for adsorbent regeneration and low cycle efficiency, while the latter faces bottlenecks such as harsh cryogenic operating conditions and huge equipment investment. In contrast, membrane separation technology, as a low-energy-consumption, simple-to-operate, and environmentally friendly technology, has been widely used in complex gas separation processes.
[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are ideal for constructing high-performance gas separation membranes due to their designable pore sizes, high specific surface areas, and excellent stability. However, the inherent pore size of COFs is typically 0.8–5 nm, much larger than the kinetic diameters of H2 (0.289 nm) and CO2 (0.33 nm), making it difficult to achieve effective H2 / CO2 separation with a single COF layer. Researchers have tried to reduce the pore size by introducing ionic liquids into the COF channels, but this significantly reduces the gas permeation flux. Alternatively, the "masking effect" of polymers on COFs can be used to reduce the pore size, but the membrane stability is poor under high pressure or humid environments. Therefore, this greatly limits the application of COFs in gas separation. This invention proposes a bilayer COF strategy. Large-pore TpBD-2SO3H nanosheets are filtered onto an HPAN layer. The electrostatic interaction between -SO3H and hydrazine hydrate induces the directional polymerization of small-pore ACOF-1 at the interface, forming a dense, defect-free selective layer. The two types of COFs are stacked alternately, effectively reducing the sieve pore size. Simultaneously, hydrazine hydrate, permeating into the TpBD-2SO3H layer, reacts with the aldehyde monomer to generate ACOF-1, filling the defects between the TpBD-2SO3H nanosheets in situ. This invention achieves optimized membrane structure integrity and exhibits ultra-high H2 flux in H2 / CO2 separation.
[0004] Summary of the Invention: This invention provides a method for preparing a bilayer COF composite membrane. This method is ingeniously designed and can effectively separate H2. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:
