Research on triazine-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon/Pebax mixed-matrix membranes for CO2 separation and its gas transport mechanism

Nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) has a rich microporous structure and nitrogen-rich units, and its nitrogen-containing group can interact strongly with the PEO chain segment of Pebax, synergistically improving its CO2 adsorption ability and interface compatibility. This work prepared three types of triazine-based NPCs with mesoporous and high N-content and added NPCs to Pebax-2533 to prepare NPC/Pebax-2533 MMMs. The effects of N-type, N-content, and pore structure of NPCs on the gas separation performance of MMMs were studied. Constructing a continuous meso-microporous structure within the membrane and adding alkaline N-containing groups were beneficial for promoting rapid CO2 transport. Among the three NPCs, NPC-1/Pebax MMMs prepared using NPC-1 with the highest N-content (10.91
