The quality assurance of hydrogen fuel for mobile applications is assessed by the guidelines and directives given in the European and international standards. However, the presence of impurities in the hydrogen fuel, in particular nitrogen, water, and oxygen, is experienced in several refueling stations. Within this work, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based membranes are investigated as a fine-purification stage of the hydrogen fuel. Three H2/N2 concentrations have been used to analyze the separation factor of UiO-66-NH2 membranes prepared using the layer-by-layer (LBL) and the one-pot (OP) synthesis methods. It is shown that the separation factor for an equimolar ratio is 14.4% higher for the LBL sample compared to the OP membrane, suggesting a higher orientation and continuity of the LBL surface-supported metal-organic framework (SURMOF). Using an equimolar ratio of H2/N2, it is shown that selective separation of hydrogen over nitrogen occurs with a separation factor of 3.02 and 2.64 for the SURMOF and MOF membrane, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest reported performance for a single-phase UiO-66-NH2 membrane. For higher hydrogen concentrations, the separation factor decreases due to reduced interactions between pore walls and N2 molecules.

BTDA-TDI/MDI (P84) has been widely applied in gas separation, however, pinholes or defects on P84 membrane surfaces were formed in the membrane preparation process and directly weaken its separation performance. Herein, we developed an ultrafast polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer-by-layer assembly strategy via spraying method to heal the defects of the P84 membrane. Firstly, a very short assembly time 20-30 s was achieved by a UV-curing method. Secondly, both the PDMS spraying concentration and cycle times were optimized to strengthen the healing ability of PDMS. The P84-PDMS membrane with 3 wt % PDMS spraying concentration and 2 spraying cycle times significantly improve the H2/CH4 selectivity from 62.99 to 231.92 with a satisfactory H2 permeance (20.85 GPU). The layer-by-layer PDMS assembly strategy for healing defects of P84 membrane displays outstanding comprehensive abilities, with an easy manufacturing based upon ultrafast curing and excellent gas separation performance based on the defect-free membrane structure.
