CO2-Philic [EMIM][Tf2N] modified silica in mixed matrix membrane for high performance CO2/CH4 separation

Separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from methane (CH 4 ) using polymeric membranes is limited by trade-off between permeability and selectivity as depicted in Robeson curve. To overcome this challenge, this study develops membranes by incorporating silica particles (Si) modified with [EMIM][Tf 2 N]...
