      Dai, Zhongde; Deng, Jing; He, Xuezhong; Scholes, Colin; Jiang, Xia; Wang, Bangda; Guo, Hongfang; Ma, Yulie; Deng, Liyuan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Helium is an unrenewable noble gas produced from natural gas with a wide range of scientific, medical, and industrial applications. Due to the large differences in the kinetic diameters between helium (0.26 nm) and nitrogen ...
    • High-performance carbon-capture membranes developed by (non)solvent-induced nanostructural rearrangement in Nafion 

      Wei, Jing; Deng, Jing; Ma, Yulei; Qin, Zikang; Wang, Bangda; Deng, Liyuan; Spontak, Richard J; Dai, Zhongde (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Membrane materials exhibiting high CO2 permeability and selectivity are needed for CO2 capture to mitigate global climate change. In this study, Nafion is dissolved in and cast from N-methylpyrrolidone to generate membranes ...
    • Hydrogen sulfide removal from natural gas using membrane technology: a review 

      Ma, Yulei; Guo, Hongfang; Selyanchyn, Roman; Wang, Bangda; Deng, Liyuan; Dai, Zhongde; Jiang, Xia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Natural gas, having a significantly lower CO2 emission factor than oil and coal when combusted, is accepted as an important transition fuel towards carbon net-zero society. To meet the calorific value requirements (≥34.0 ...
    • Nanocellulose Crystal-Enhanced Hybrid Membrane for CO2 Capture 

      Dai, Zhongde; Deng, Jing; Ma, Yulei; Guo, Hongfang; Wei, Jing; Wang, Bangda; Jiang, Xia; Deng, Liyuan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Developing a membrane material with both high CO2 permeability and high CO2/N2 selectivity is always desired for CO2 capture, while improving the sustainability of the membrane preparation process is of equal importance. ...
    • Polymeric membranes and their derivatives for H2/CH4 separation: State of the art 

      Huang, Liu; Xing, Ziman; Zhuang, Xinyi; Wei, Jing; Ma, Yulei; Wang, Bangda; Jiang, Xia; He, Xuezhong; Deng, Liyuan; Dai, Zhongde (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The hydrogen economy becomes an important route in approaching carbon neutrality. Compared to conventional methods, membrane separation possesses combined merits, including energy-saving, convenience, and economic efficiency. ...
