Olefin separation via charge transfer and dipole formation at the silver nanoparticle–tetracyanoquinoid interface

Abstract: Charge transfer and dipole formation at silver nanoparticle–tetracyanoquinoid takes place in the solid-state membrane, forming an unprecedented, highly olefin permselective facilitated transport membrane with a mixed gas selectivity of over 100 for a propylene–propane mixture. This provides a potential alternative to the highly energy-intensive cryogenic distillation process for olefin/paraffin separation.

“…TCNQ is well known as a widely employed electron acceptor that enables the transfer of electrons from metals to organic molecules leads to the formation of metal-TCNQ, including AgNPs-TCNQ, complexes. 50 The highest enhancement factors (EFs) for methylphenols isomeric cresols and xylenolswere observed in the case of modification of the SERS-active surface with DDQ (Fig. 5).…”

“…The membrane selectivity achieved working with 50:50 v/v propylene/propane mixtures was 11 ( Table 3). After this work, others studies have begun to explore new molecules to polarize the surface of the Ag NP, 24,[119][120][121][122] always aiming to improve the selectivity of separation. 123 Therefore, Ag NP with sizes below this value can further improve the transport of the olefinic gases.…”

“…On the other hand, we recently reported the excellent separation performance of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)/AgNPs nanocomposite membranes utilizing the interface of the dipole on the surface of AgNPs with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), which is a strong electron acceptor. The membranes exhibited unprecedented separation performance: a selectivity of 50 and a permeance of 3.5 GPU 31,32 . This demonstrated that positively charged AgNPs can perform well as an olefin carrier for the separation of olefin and paraffin.…”
