The application discloses a preparation method of a PPSU-based ZIF-8 double-layer membrane and application of the double-layer membrane in
hydrogen separation, and belongs to the technical field of
gas separation membranes. The preparation method is as follows: ZIF-8 seeds are embedded in a PPSU
matrix solution, then are spin-coated onto the surface of an alpha-Al2O3 carrier to obtain a PPSU-based membrane, and
secondary growth of the membrane is carried out through a
solvothermal reaction, so that the seeds grow epitaxially, a continuous, dense and defect-free ZIF-8 separation layer is formed on the surface and the near-surface region of the carrier substrate, and the reaction is ended to obtain the double-layer membrane. Through the seed embedding strategy, the
interface bonding force between the ZIF-8 layer and the PPSU substrate is significantly enhanced, and the generation of interface defects is effectively inhibited. The double-layer membrane has high
permeation flux and high separation selectivity for a H2 / CO2
system, and is particularly suitable for
hydrogen separation and purification processes.
