Summary: By employing hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) instead of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), energy-saving hydrogen generation can be realized. Here, a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 coupling with CoNiSe-3 (ZIF67@CoNiSe-3) as an efficient electrocatalyst towards both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and HzOR is introduced. The as-prepared ZIF67@CoNiSe-3 with nanoflower structure and highly porous ultrathin nanosheet arrays endow advanced electrocatalytic properties for HER and HzOR.

Summary: In this study, Zeolitic Imidazole Frameworks (ZIF-8) crystals of different sizes were synthesized and incorporated into the polymer of intrinsic microporosity, PIM-1, to form mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for effective CO2/CH4 separation. Characterization of MMMs showed that ZIF-8 crystal size greatly influenced gas transport properties, with membranes containing 120 nm ZIF-8 crystals showing the greatest improvement. Aging of the membranes resulted in increased selectivity and decreased permeability, indicating enhanced polymer packing and diffusivity selectivity.
