Abstract
CO2 is partially chemisorbed on amine-PIM-1, and this leads to enhanced CO2 selectivity by increasing sorption-driven affinity (physisorption/chemisorption) and modifying the pore-size distribution.

Abstract
Amino acid-functionalized MOF-808 fillers (Lys, Arg, Cys) incorporated into PIM-1 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) enhance CO2/CH4 separation, achieving superior permeability and selectivity via strong CO2–amino interactions compared to pristine PIM-1.
