Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas separation membrane material technology, and relates to a method for preparing a vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane for H2 purification. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen is a highly efficient and clean energy carrier. However, hydrogen produced as a byproduct in industrial processes such as petroleum refining and chemical synthesis often contains high concentrations of impurities such as carbon dioxide, severely limiting its direct utilization efficiency and subsequent storage and transportation safety. Therefore, developing efficient and low-energy-consumption hydrogen purification technologies to achieve highly selective separation of H2 and CO2 has become one of the core issues urgently needing to be addressed for the development of the hydrogen energy industry.

[0003] Among numerous gas separation technologies, membrane separation is considered one of the most promising hydrogen purification methods due to its advantages such as simple operation, low energy consumption, high modularity, and environmental friendliness. The core of membrane separation technology lies in the membrane material, whose performance directly determines the efficiency and economy of the separation process. In recent years, two-dimensional materials, with their unique layered structure and tunable interlayer nanochannels, have provided a new approach for constructing next-generation high-efficiency separation membranes. Among them, layered bimetallic hydroxides, as anionic two-dimensional layered clay materials, have the general chemical formula [M... 2+ 1-x M 3+ x (OH)2] x+ (A n- ) x / n . LDH (yH₂O) possesses numerous advantages, including tunable composition, exchangeable anions between layers, a surface rich in hydroxyl groups, and mild synthesis conditions. The layers of LDH are composed of divalent and trivalent metal cations linked by edge-sharing hydroxyl octahedra, with charge balance and structural stability maintained between layers through exchangeable anions and water of crystallization. This unique structure allows for precise control of interlayer spacing and interlayer chemical environment by adjusting the metal composition of the layers and the types and quantities of intercalated anions, thus providing an ideal platform for designing membrane materials for the sieving of specific gas molecules.

[0004] However, despite LDH's theoretically excellent gas sieving potential, its practical application in high-performance gas separation membranes still faces a series of key challenges: First, there is a lack of stable and controllable preparation methods to achieve highly vertical and ordered arrangement of LDH nanosheets on a macroscopically flexible substrate to construct low-torsion, straight-through transport channels; second, the interlayer of conventionally hydrothermally synthesized LDH is usually CO3. 2-The interlayer spacing of LDH is relatively narrow (approximately 0.285 nm), smaller than the free volume of H2 (0.289 nm), making it difficult to achieve effective sieving of H2 and CO2. Although this can be adjusted through ion exchange, the process for precisely controlling the exchange degree to obtain the ideal interlayer spacing without compromising membrane integrity remains immature. Furthermore, the interfacial compatibility between the hydrophilic surface of LDH and most polymer substrates is poor, easily leading to non-selective defects at the interface. In the presence of moisture, interlayer swelling is also prone to occur, affecting the long-term separation stability and mechanical strength of the membrane. Existing technologies often struggle to simultaneously address the issues of orientation control, precise interlayer spacing engineering, and interface strengthening, resulting in shortcomings in permeability, selectivity, or stability of the developed LDH membranes, thus limiting their industrial application prospects.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method for preparing LDH composite membranes that can be vertically oriented, with precisely adjustable interlayer spacing, strong interfacial bonding, and excellent gas sieving and permeation performance on large-area flexible substrates is of great significance for promoting the practical application of high-performance hydrogen separation membranes. This invention is proposed against this backdrop. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane for H2 purification. Utilizing the mechanism of substrate-induced crystal orientation growth, the polymer substrate is first pretreated with hydrophilicity to provide abundant chemical anchoring sites. Then, LDH nanosheets are induced to grow vertically and orderly on the substrate surface in situ via hydrothermal synthesis, constructing a low-torsion, straight-through mass transfer channel and improving gas permeation performance. This invention employs a step-by-step synergistic strategy, utilizing the principle of anion exchange to regulate interlayer spacing and surface grafting to introduce adsorption sites, through Cl... - Intercalation precisely modulates the free channels between LDH layers to 0.306 nm, achieving molecular-size sieving of H2 and CO2; simultaneously, polyethyleneimine is grafted onto the LDH surface via covalent cross-linking. The construction of the vertically oriented structure significantly reduces the tortuosity of the gas transport path, providing a rapid permeation channel for H2; Cl - Intercalation not only achieves sub-nanometer precision sieving, but its weak hydration also enhances the membrane structure's anti-swelling stability. Surface-grafted PEI further inhibits CO2 transport through reversible chemisorption of CO2 by amino groups. Furthermore, the introduction of PEI segments improves the interfacial compatibility between the inorganic LDH layer and the organic polymer substrate. This multi-faceted coupling of "rapid channel-size sieving-chemisorption-interfacial enhancement" results in a composite membrane that simultaneously possesses high hydrogen permeability, high H2 / CO2 selectivity, and excellent operational stability. The technical solution of the present invention: A method for preparing a vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane for H2 purification, comprising the following steps: (1) In-situ construction of vertically oriented LDH separation layer; A polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was immersed in a 2 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and heated at 40–70 °C for 1 hour. It was then thoroughly washed with deionized water until neutral to obtain a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile substrate with a carboxyl-rich surface. A hydrothermal growth precursor solution was prepared: Ni… 2+ The concentration is 0.01~0.10 mol / L, Ni 2+ With Al 3+ The molar ratio of urea to total metal ions was 2:1, with urea as a precipitant and a molar ratio of urea to total metal ions of 10:1. Ammonium fluoride was introduced as a crystal growth regulator, with a molar ratio of ammonium fluoride to urea of ​​1:7. The hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile substrate with a surface rich in carboxyl groups was vertically immersed in the hydrothermal growth precursor solution and sealed in a stainless steel reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene. The hydrothermal reaction was carried out at 85 °C for 12-30 hours. After the reaction, the substrate was naturally cooled, the composite membrane was removed, and the surface was rinsed with deionized water and dried at room temperature to obtain a NiAl LDH-HPAN composite membrane with a vertically oriented nanosheet array. (2) Cl - Intercalation adjusts the interlayer spacing; The NiAl LDH-HPAN composite membrane obtained in step (1) was immersed in a sodium chloride aqueous solution with a pH of 4.25-5.00 and a concentration of 1 mol / L, and subjected to ion exchange treatment at 50-80 °C for 24 hours. After the exchange was completed, the composite membrane was removed and washed with deionized water until the washing solution was neutral. After drying, NiAl LDH(Cl) with expanded interlayer spacing was obtained. - )-HPAN composite film; (3) Surface amino functionalization modification; A polyethyleneimine impregnation solution containing 0.5–2.0 wt.% was prepared using water and ethanol at a volume ratio of 1:1 as solvents. Epichlorohydrin was used as a crosslinking agent, with a polyethyleneimine to epichlorohydrin mass ratio of 5:1. The pH of the impregnation solution was adjusted to 6. NiAl LDH(Cl) was then added... - The )-HPAN composite membrane was immersed in the impregnation solution and reacted at 25 ℃ in the dark for 1-3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the composite membrane was removed, thoroughly washed with deionized water and dried to finally obtain the surface-functionalized NiAl LDH(Cl - The PEI-HPAN composite membrane is a vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane used for H2 purification.

[0007] The Ni 2+ It is nickel nitrate hexahydrate, Al 3+ It is aluminum nitrate nonahydrate.

[0008] Step (1), Ni2+ The concentration was 0.05 mol / L.

[0009] In step (1), the hydrothermal reaction takes 24 hours.

[0010] In step (2), the conditions for ion exchange are pH=4.50 and temperature 60 ℃.

[0011] In step (3), the concentration of polyethyleneimine in the impregnation solution is 1.5 wt.%.

[0012] In step (3), the reaction time under light-protected conditions is 2.5 hours.

[0013] Gas separation performance test: Before conducting the gas permeation performance test, the prepared vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane was vacuum dried at 50 °C for 12 hours to completely remove residual moisture and solvent; the dried vertically oriented LDH-based composite membrane was then cut into pieces with an effective area of ​​approximately 2.0 cm². 2 The samples were sealed in a self-made flat sheet membrane test cell; the test was conducted using pure gas at 25°C and a transmembrane pressure difference of 0.1 MPa, and the gas flow rate on the permeate side was measured by a soap bubble flow meter; at least three parallel samples were tested for each gas, and the average value was used to calculate the gas permeability and ideal selectivity.

[0014] The gas separation performance test targets include H2 and CO2.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention: Addressing the current technical bottleneck of vertically oriented LDH membranes failing to simultaneously achieve high gas permeability and high selectivity, this invention proposes a synergistic construction strategy of "substrate-induced vertical orientation—anion intercalation regulation—surface functionalization modification." Vertically oriented LDH nanosheet arrays construct a through-type mass transfer channel penetrating the membrane layer, significantly reducing the tortuosity and mass transfer resistance of gas permeation; through Cl... - Ion exchange precisely modulated the LDH interlayer spacing to 0.306 nm, achieving a match with the size of H2 molecules' dynamics and endowing the membrane structure with sub-nanometer precision sieving capabilities.

Furthermore, Cl... - As a weakly hydrating intercalating anion, it effectively inhibits interlayer swelling of the membrane in a water-vapor environment, thus improving the long-term stability of the structure.

Its overall performance surpasses the 2008 Robeson limit, and its preparation process is mild, has low substrate cost, and is easy to scale up, providing a promising new approach for the industrial preparation of high-efficiency hydrogen separation membranes.
