Abstract

Uniform submicrometer-sized ZIF-71 crystals are prepared via a simple mixed-solvent method for the fabrication of high quality defect-free PDMS mixed-matrix membranes. As reported by L. H. Wee, I. F. J. Vankelecom, and colleagues on page 516, these membranes demonstrate significant improvement for pervaporation recovery of bioethanol. The host–guest chemistry of ethanol-water in the cages of ZIF-71 is unraveled by the combination of FTIR spectroscopy and molecular simulations.
