Sorption heat storage, as one of low-energy consuming technologies, is an approach to reduce CO2 emissions. The efficiency of such technology is governed by the performance of the applied sorbents. Thus, sorbents with high water sorption capacity and regeneration temperature from 80 to 150 °C are required. Incorporation of hygroscopic salt such as calcium chloride into porous materials is a logical strategy for increasing the water sorption capacity. This work reports the study on the development of composites with PHTS (plugged hexagonal templated silicate) matrix with an average pore size of 5.7 nm and different amounts of calcium chloride (4, 10, 20 wt.%) for solar thermal energy storage. These composites were prepared by wetness incipient impregnation method. Structural properties were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). CaCl2 was confined in micro- and mesopores of the matrix. The resulting CaCl2-PHTS materials were used for water sorption at 40 °C, showing an increase of maximal water uptake with higher amount of calcium chloride from 0.78 g/g to 2.44 g/g of the dry composite. A small reduction in water uptake was observed after 20 cycles of sorption/desorption between temperatures of 140 °C and 40 °C, indicating good cycling stability of these composites under the working conditions.

PMDA-ODA and BPDA-PDA polyimides in 10-50 Atrn thick films were prepared from the respective poly(amic acid) precursor by thermal imidization for 1-10 h at various temperatures over 230-400C. Their water sorption behaviours were studied in detail by gravimetry. Water sorption in both PMDA-ODA and BPDA-PDA followed a nearly Fickian process in spite of the morphological heterogeneity due to the ordered and less ordered phases. Water clustering or plasticization was very weakly evident on the water uptake versus humidity plots. Water sorption in both polyimides was highly dependent upon imidization history. Both diffusion coefficient and water uptake are decreasing functions of imidization temperature and time. This resulted mainly from the enhancement of overall crystallinity by high-temperature imidization because of their high-rT nature. The diffusion coefficient and water uptake were (1.0-3.0) x 10-9 cm2 s-1 and 0.4-4.5 wt% for PMDA-ODA and (0.9-3.0)x 10-cm2s-' and 0. I2-2.40wt%, depending on humidity,/iihidization history and film thickness. The differences between the water sorptions of the p'olyimides are interpreted by considering the differences in their morphologies and chemical affinities to water.

Facilitated transport membranes obtained by coupling polyvinylamine with highly charged carboxymethylated nanocellulose fibers were studied considering both water sorption and gas permeation experiments. In particular, the effect of the L-arginine as a mobile carrier was investigated to understand possible improvements in CO2 transport across the membranes. The results show that L-arginine addition decreases the water uptake of the membrane, due to the lower polyvinylamine content, but was able to improve the CO2 transport. Tests carried on at 35 °C and high relative humidity indeed showed an increase of both CO2 permeability and selectivity with respect to nitrogen and methane. In particular, the CO2 permeability increased from 160 to about 340 Barrer when arginine loading was increased from 0 to 45 wt%. In the same conditions, selectivity with respect to nitrogen was more than doubled, increasing from 20 to 45. Minor improvements were instead obtained with respect to methane; CO2/CH4 selectivity, indeed, even in presence of the mobile carrier, was limited to about 20.
