Water-based UV-ozone activation enables aggregation-free processing of MFI nanosheets for membrane fabrication
selectivity of 40 ± 6, with permeance of 194 ± 50 GPU (at 25 °C, ambient pressure). This method is thus substantiated as an effective and scalable approach for activating zeolite nanosheets and can be a cost-efficient approach for the fabrication of thin, flexible zeolite-nanosheet-based gas separation membranes.
