Abstract

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been the focus of interest for their physical and chemical properties, especially, for their extraordinary gas separation properties. In this study, a novel and efficient method for the fabrication of continuous ZIF-7 film on ${\alpha}$-alumina substrate has been investigated. The electrospray deposition method was tried for the first time to prepare ZIF films directly without the necessity of prior substrate seeding. It has the advantage of depositing thin ZIF-7 films directly on the ${\alpha}$-alumina substrate by electrospraying the precursor solution. The ZIF-7 films have been characterized through XRD, FE-SEM, and single gas permeation tests.

ZIF 재료는 독특한 기체 분리 특성을 포함한 물리적, 화학적 특성 때문에 큰 관심을 받아왔다. 본 연구에서는 ${\alpha}$-alumina 지지체 위에 결함 없고 연속적인 ZIF-7 막을 형성하는 새롭고 효율적인 방법이 연구되었다. 지지체 위에 시딩(seeding)을 하지 않고 직접 ZIF-7 박막을 합성하는데 정전분무법이 처음으로 적용되었다. 이 방법은 전구체 용액을 직접 정전분무함으로 ${\alpha}$-alumina 지지체에 ZIF-7 박막을 형성할 수 있었다. ZIF-7 박막은 XRD, FE-SEM, 단일 기체 투과 장치 등을 이용해 분석하였다.
