Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with regular pore size (similar to 0.34 nm) is widely attempted for gas separation membranes based on size sieving. However, the prospect is subjected to fabricating the continuous ZIF8 membranes with high mechanical stability and uniformity. In response, an adhesive layer of Zn(II)-doped polydopamine (Zn-PDA) is pre-coated on the stainless steel nets in this work to improve ZIF-8 nucleation and growth. Zn-PDA layer shows high tolerance to ultrasonic agitation and heated methanol (system for ZIF-8 synthesis), little dissolution within 24 h, which supplies a high stable surface for ZIF-8 growth. Furthermore, the Zn(II) doped in PDA layer is opportunely serving as the even-distributed ZIF-8 nucleation starting sites, verified with the EDX and FE-SEM images for the aggregated Zn(II) clusters and the nascent ZIF-8 crystals. Therefore, an indented and hinged boundary is constructed between ZIF-8 and substrate to enhance the mechanical stability. The FE-SEM images after ultrasonic agitation show that the continuous ZIF-8 membranes prepared on Zn-PDA layers can tolerate the deformation to a certain extent. Finally, the prepared ZIF-8 membranes behave excellently with alpha(H2)/CO2 = 9.9, alpha(H2)/CO= 17.2, alpha(H2)/CH4= 26.0, and permeation rate J(H2)= 3980 GPU. This work supplied a useful approach to enhance mechanical stability and uniformity of defect-free ZIF-8 membranes.
