Abstract

An unprecedented hybrid membrane was synthesized for CO2/CH4 separation. Intermediate ZIF-8 was prepared via novel vacuum thermal seeding, followed by fabrication of zeolite T on the ZIF-8 layer. The high CO2/CH4 selectivity of the hybrid membrane was likely due to the double multiplying effect of CH4 sieving through the hybrid membrane.
