Compared with the traditional heat-driven separation technologies like distillation, evaporation, and drying, diffusion-based separations have the potential to be more energy efficient and therefore lower emissions and pollution. (1−4) In this approach, mixtures of molecules are separated by porous materials based on their geometric or chemical properties in a diffusion process. Finding materials that have the “right” pores is critical for diffusion-based separation to succeed.
