Developing high-performance membranes for H<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> separation is a critical imperative for the advancement of the hydrogen economy.
Description
However, conventional polymeric membranes often suffer from the intrinsic trade-off between permeability and selectivity, as well as the technical dilemma between chain rigidity and processability. In this study, we systematically investigated polyimides based on 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) containing three structurally distinct diamines to elucidate the effects of intermolecular hydrogen bonding, steric bulk, backbone rigidity, and flexibility on H<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> transport.
By systematically incorporating a hydrogen-bonding diamine (DABA) alongside bulky (DAPI) and flexible (MDA) units, we established a precise structure–property relationship governing subnanometric gas transport. Experimental characterizations confirmed that DABA-driven hydrogen-bonding networks create an interaction-rich matrix with significantly contracted interchain distances (<i>d</i>-spacing 4.58 Å) and exceptional thermal stability (exceeding 520 °C).

Gas permeation measurements showed that B-DABA exhibited the highest H<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> ideal selectivity of 72.81 among the membranes investigated in this study, primarily owing to its strongly suppressed CH<sub>4</sub> permeability. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations indicated that free-volume characteristics and polymer-chain mobility can jointly influence gas-transport behavior. While bulky DAPI units increase free volume, their rigid indane structures restrict polymer-chain mobility, whereas the flexible MDA-containing matrix exhibits greater segmental mobility.
These results highlight the combined importance of intermolecular interactions, free-volume characteristics, and molecular mobility in determining H<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> transport in BTDA-based polyimides.
