The present invention provides a
zeolite imidazolate skeleton polycrystalline membrane and a preparation method thereof, comprising: S1: preparing a precursor solution containing
metal ions and organic ligands,
coating the precursor solution on a carrier, and heating and cooling the carrier coated with the precursor solution to prepare an amorphous film; the precursor solution includes a
metal salt, an organic ligand, and a
solvent; the
zeolite imidazolate skeleton material is composed of a
metal node, an organic ligand A, and an organic ligand B; the organic ligand A is
imidazole-2-
formaldehyde or 2-methylimidazole, and the organic ligand B is selected from 2-methylimidazole,
benzimidazole, 2-aminobenzimidazole, 4,5-dichloroimidazole, 2-
nitroimidazole, and 4-methylimidazole-5-
formaldehyde; and the
solvent is
methanol. S2: treating the amorphous film with steam generated by heating a polar
solvent to form a crystalline film; S3: activating the crystalline film with a volatile solvent; and the present invention prepares a continuous, dense, defect-free
zeolite imidazolate skeleton membrane with strong carrier binding and
gas separation performance.
