Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have attracted increasing interest in gas separation membranes due to their high permeability. However, the moderate selectivity limits their wide applications in CO2 separation. Herein we report a facile strategy to improve simultaneously the permeability and CO2 selectivity of PIMs membrane using the prepared PIM-1/graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets mixed matrix membrane. The GO nanosheets improves the hydrophilicity and surface roughness of PIM-1 membrane whereas the uniform assembly of GO nanosheets in the PIM-1 matrix creates the hydrophilic/hydrophobic microphase segregation in the membrane. The as-prepared mixed matrix membrane is also very porous and has a pore size of about 0.78 nm. The combination of these properties significantly contributes to the enhancement of the gas separation performance of PIM-1 membrane, with the resultant membrane exhibiting an exceptionally high CO2 permeability of up to 6169 barrer as well as a high CO2/N2 selectivity of 123.5, which is more than 7 times that of the pure PIM-1 membrane. The developed PIM-1/GO mixed matrix membrane should have a wide application in the CO2 separation.
