The research effort is split between the following tasks: (1) fabrication of membrane supports with nanopore diameters below 5 nm and (2) characterization of the diffusion properties of gas mixtures in these membranes. Application of a unique diffusion NMR technique enables distinguishing between different diffusion mechanisms for different gas components inside the membrane on the microscopic length scales. Successful completion of the proposed research affords a transformative membrane-based technology to separate CO2 from combustion gas mixtures. The research plan is integrated with a recruitment program and supervised research for undergraduate students, especially students from the underrepresented groups, as well as mentoring and outreach. The students will be trained to use a unique diffusion NMR technique at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Science Foundation (NSF), Directorate for Mathematical &amp; Physical Science (MPS), Division of Materials Research (CMMI) PI: Kirk Ziegler (CHE), Co-PI: Daniel Savin (Chem), Co-PI:\u00a0Sergey Vasenkov (CHE) The objective of this project is to develop structure-property relationships that will enable the fabrication of microporous membranes for N2\/CO2 separation with high selectivity, which are achieved by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":3113,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-section-nav.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3495","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12539,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3495\/revisions\/12539"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/nimet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
