The separation performance for CO2 molecules for these composite membranes was investigated. It was found that when ZnO nanoparticles were generated into BMIMBF4, the selectivity of CO2/N-2 and CO2 permeance of the composite were significantly enhanced to 42.1 and 101, respectively, compared to the neat BMIM+BF4- membrane that had a CO2/N-2 selectivity and CO2 permeance of 5.0 and 17.0, respectively. These enhancement for CO2 separation was attributable to two factors: (1) the oxide layer of ZnO and (2) free ions of BMIMBF4 to increase the CO2 solubility. The chemical and physical properties of the membrane were characterized using TEM, SEM, FT-Raman, and TGA. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
