Abstract
The present invention discloses a new type of high selectivity UV-cross-linked tetrazole group functionalized polymer nanosieve (TZPIM) membranes, their preparation, as well as their use for gas and liquid separations. The UV-cross-linked TZPIM membrane showed more than 50% improvement in CO/CHselectivity and more than 30% improvement in CO/Nselectivity compared to the uncross-linked TZPIM membrane for CO/CHand CO/Nseparations, respectively.
