Abstract：
  Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), composed of inorganic fillers and organic substrates, are widely believed to play an important role in CO2 separation. In this study, a layer-by-layer composite technology was developed, that is, the ZIF-8 layer with high adhesive strength to the porous support was prepared by the dip coating and thermal conversion method, and then the ZIF-8/PSF mixed matrix composite membrane was achieved by coating PSF polymer solution on the ZIF-8 layer. Due to the excellent interfacial bonding strength between the membrane matrix and the coating layer, the ZIF-8/PSF composite membrane showed CO2-preferred permeability. For equimolar CO2/CH4 mixture separation, the CO2 permeance was 1.5×10-8mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 and the selectivity of CO2/CH4 was 39. In addition, the ZIF-8/PSF membrane exhibited satisfactory temperature and pressure resistance, and durability.
