Membrane Fabrication for Carbon Dioxide Separation: A Critical Review

Abstract Membrane fabrication methods, mechanisms, and modification of membranes for CO 2 separation are discussed. Various types of membrane materials with high CO 2 separation performance are summarized. Rapid prototyping can achieve precise control of the thickness of membranes and freely design the spatial structure of membranes, which provides a new development direction for material application and process combination. Hence, a critical comparison of membrane fabrication using different methods can provide a comprehensive overview on the potential of the rapid prototyping technology in membrane fabrication. This is important to demonstrate the prospects of the membrane technology development for CO 2 separation.
