Abstract

Membrane pore wetting is one of the major challenges for membrane gas absorption, especially when
low surface tension liquid absorbents such as amine absorbents are utilized. To minimize diffusion
resistance across the membrane, maintaining a non-wetted operating mode in membrane gas
absorption is crucial. In this study, a superomniphobic polyvinylidene fluoride-cohexafluoropropylene
membrane was fabricated by adding silica nanoparticles (SiO2) in an ethanol
coagulation bath through non-solvent-induced phase separation. The surface properties and longterm
CO2 absorption performance in membrane gas absorption system was analyzed. The
incorporation of SiO2 contributed to the formation of a hierarchical structure composed of microscale
polymer spherulites and nanoscale SiO2. The fabricated membrane achieved water and
methyldiethanolamine contact angles of 160.28° and 152.11°, respectively. Long-term CO2
absorption stability experiments were conducted by immersing the synthesized membrane in
methyldiethanolamine solution for 0, 3, and 6 days. Compared to the pristine membrane, the
superomniphobic membrane was able to sustain 81.88% and 74.44% of CO2 absorption flux after 3
days and 6 days of methyldiethanolamine immersion, respectively, which can be attributed to the
improved wetting resistance.
