NOVEL HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES IN MEMBRANES FOR CARBON CAPTURE Abstract New concepts inspired by nature are needed to produce novel membranes with hierarchical structures to optimize separations of targeted gases or ions. This will require new concepts for bottom-up self-assembly or top-down synthesis of materials into hierarchal structures of polymeric, inorganic, and even hybrid materials. New computational and characterization tools capable of application across broad spatial and temporal scales will also be required to support the development of these complex materials, allowing the prediction of the optimized materials structures. Such structures have huge potential for meeting future requirements for minimizing emissions of carbon dioxide from combustion streams and broad applicability in other areas of technology. Background and Motivation The creation of materials with controlled 3D hierarchical structure by rational design is critical to an increasing number of applications, including membrane separation, energy storage, electronics, catalysis, and sensing. For membrane applications, it is necessary to rapidly, scalably, and reproducibly generate such structures on multiple length scales (e.g., from nanometer to micron). Crafting such structures to function as highly efficient, robust membranes for carbon capture is extremely challenging. Further, highly efficient membrane structures require materials with graded free-volume architectures. Efficient strategies to predictably create such spatial heterogeneities in a single macroscopic construct are a grand challenge in materials science. Hierarchical structures may offer novel ways of effecting low-energy membrane separations. Developing such new, broadly enabling forms of membranes, for use in carbon capture or in other processes, requires new approaches and significant fundamental advances in materials sythesis. The required advances span broad materials classes—including polymers, inorganic solids, composites, and fluids—as well as the ability to shape their structures and organizational architectures over length scales bridging the atomic/molecular level to macroscopic/continuum limits. Success requires the discovery and development of new capacities to harness specific chemical interactions, systems of chemistry, and transport dynamics. It requires new conceptual frameworks for design. It requires new, durable systems and synthesis and processing methods for constructing them. There also exists a critical opportunity to expand the design rules for membrane materials beyond traditional models. New architectures are required that combine enabling molecular features to prepare complex yet deterministically articulated 3D constructs. A grand challenge for research is to provide new materials that maximize selective mass transport through atomic/molecular architecture, structural dynamics, and physico-chemical phenomena. Research Directions Self-assembly. A natural question is to ask what self-assembly, biology’s main manufacturing tool, could offer to the development of these fabrication strategies. The current scientific platform of self-assembly is mainly centered on designed molecules that create nanostructures driven by noncovalent interactions. Departing from this relatively simple though not completely developed platform has been slow, since making the transition 69PDF Image | 2020 Carbon Capture
