Abstract:
Organic-inorganic hybrid silica membranes were prepared by sol-gel method with bridged silsesquioxane[1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl) ethane, BTESE] and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES) as precursors. The pore structure and hydrophobic property of the hybrid silica membranes were characterized by N-2 adsorption, contact angle meter, TG and FTIR. The hydrogen permeation and separation performance was also investigated. The results show that the modified hybrid silica membranes possess a desirable microporous structure with a pore width centered at 0.4-0.6 nm. Such a pore structure can be retained after aging for 30 d under a temperature of 40 degrees C and a relative humidity of 70%-80%. The hybrid silica membranes become hydrophobic after modification, with a water contact angle of (125 +/- 0.4) at a PTES/BTESE molar ratio of 0.6. The transportation of hydrogen in the hybrid silica membranes complies with the activated diffusion mechanism, with a permeance of 8.71 x 10(-7) mol . m(-2) . Pa-1 . s(-1) and a H-2/CO2 permselectivity of 5.53.
