This project aims to develop a new generation of interfacial diffusion membranes for industrial gas separations including carbon dioxide removal, nitrogen gas enrichment, methane purification and air separation. The project focuses on advancing separation technologies for the petrochemical, natural gas, and clean energy industries in the mining sector. The project is expected to reveal new separation properties and performance based on highly selective interfacial diffusion membranes. The project will also create new scientific knowledge about the role of functional surfaces and nanostructures that will not only facilitate new membrane designs but also offer new, more cost-effective devices for solar conversion, energy storage and harvesting, biomedical applications, sensing and information technology.
