Abstract

Abstract Synthesized poly(2,6-diphenyl- p -phenylene oxide) (PPPO dp ) and brominated poly(2,6-diphenyl- p -phenylene oxide) (BPPPO dp ) are identified as new membranes for CO 2 /N 2 separation and characterized by SEM, FTIR, and 1 HNMR. BPPPO dp is known as a flexible membrane with higher permselectivity ( αCO2/N2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\alpha_{{{\text{CO}}_{ 2} / {\text{N}}_{ 2} }}$$\end{document}  = 30.53) than PPPO dp membranes. BPPPO and SiO 2 nanocomposite membranes display improved CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity compared to the pure PPPO dp , and BPPPO dp membranes. The CO 2 /N 2 separation mechanism in the membranes is related to the amount of gas dissolution than the amount of gas diffusion. Graphical abstract
