It is highly desirable to prepare defect-free ZIF-8 membranes on commercially attractive scalable polymer hollow fibers, especially on the bore side of the fibers, yet quite challenging. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of well-intergrown ZIF-8 membranes on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration hollow fibers by a secondary growth method. Surface modification using a strong base promoted high heterogeneous nucleation, resulting in densely packed ZIF-8 seed layers on the hollow fibers. The seed crystals were secondarily grown under a continuous flow of growth solution to form ZIF-8 membranes with thickness of~1.2 mm. The prepared ZIF-8 membranes achieved high gas permeances, reaching values of 16,344 X 10 -10 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 for H2 and 197 X 10 -10 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 for C3H6. The selectivities for H2/ CH4, H2/C3H6, H2/C3H8 and C3H6/C3H8 gas pairs were found to be 12, 57, 160 and 15, respectively. We anticipate that the method could potentially be applied to transform commercial PVDF ultrafiltration/ microfiltration hollow fibers commonly used for water separation into high quality ZIF-8 membranes for H2 purification and C3H6/C3H8 separation.
